Boy Racks Up Over $7K in FIFA 16 Purchases

So here's a wonderful story about microtransactions going wrong in the hands of those that either have no idea what they're doing or pretending to act like idiots. One boy, aged 17, managed to rack up a grand total of $7,625.88 on the game FIFA 16.

According to his father, Lance Perkins, he received a credit card bill for that amount, thanks to the purchasing of in-game extras.

"It floored me. Literally floored me, when I'd seen what I was being charged," he told CBC News.

"He thought it was a one-time fee for the game. He's just as sick as I am, [because] he never believed he was being charged for every transaction, or every time he went onto the game."

Is this believable? Normally, I thought microtransaction purchases came with warnings, but this may not be the case with FIFA 16. After all, I haven't played it.

Since this incident, Perkins vowed to never let another console grace his home. Never ever. 

"There will never be another Xbox system - or any gaming system - in my home."

 
This may be a little overboard... Couldn't he just... remove the credit card and never again allow a credit card to grace a system, instead relying on game cards? 
 
Remember when games only had a one time purchase? Yeah, I miss those days too.
