A ten-year-old will go up to six years without presents from his uncle to repay his grandmother, after racking up a $300 bill on his Nintendo Switch using her credit card.
An angry uncle, based in the US, posted to Reddit, where the story has gone viral, amassing 6,400 shares and 243 comments.
The light-fingered youngster used his grandmother’s card details whilst playing game Fortnite on his Nintendo Switch console – splashing out on battle passes and character modifications called cosmetics.
The irritated family member, who goes by the handle Pandalungs, said he still feels ‘petty’ toward his young nephew in the run up to Christmas, and Reddit users agreed with his plans, saying the young gamer’s Fortnite account should also be disabled to teach him a lesson.
The charges continued to rack up on the Nintendo account, until the 10-year-old realised he had spent $300 on the game, but the Fortnite fan claimed it was an ‘accident’ (stock image)
