Can I use the asset store as a minor, with parental consent?
I want to use the unity asset store, but am under the age of 18. Can I use the asset store if I get my parent's permission?
Also, probably will be a while from now (might even be over 18 at that point), but if I make a game and I'm not 18 yet , assuming my parent's are ok with/support it and I make all the game assets on my own or use copyright free assets from the asset store (if I can), can I sell it commercially?
This might not be the best place to ask this, but hoping there might be a game developer or someone who knows the answer.
Unity unfortunately is age restricted to 18 in order to use the Asset store. I'm sure this has to do with kids using their parents credit cards to mass purchase alot of things they dont need. You should either have your parents interface with unity with or for you. Or atleast have them sit with you while you set up your account so they know what you are doing.
@Chrissyeah_ So if I'm understanding correctly, I can use the unity game engine itself, along with this site, but not the asset store? The eligibility section of the terms mentions that I have to be over 13 (I am) to use unity but over 18 to purchase or submit content, and I'm not too sure what the "submitting content" part is referring to.
Just about everything you find in the Asset Store is content created by other users.
Not everyone has the resources (knowledge, time, artistic skill, etc.) to create any given script and/or 3D model and/or sound effect/music for their games. In that respect, you're purchasing content from other users who submitted their creations to be listed for sale in Unity's Asset Store.
Got it, that's what I kind of figured but thought that it might be referring to creating commercial games and putting it on some platform.
