I hope a parent sues them for counselling a minor to commit credit card fraud in order for him to simply gain access to a game and info on it

I sent them feedback:

"Your credit card age validator has to be the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas"

very userfriendly for peopl eoutside the US

dont wanna be annoying or anything dude, but you are on a US site

I think you misunderstood. The point being that credit card verification would probably only work for US credit cards, and not ones in many other countries.

Effectively making the offical Quake 4 information US-Only, which would be absurd for a game shipping internationally.

Not only that, but in the UK/EU the game won't be rated 18+ (here in the EU, Quake3 was rated 15+ while it was rated 17+ in the US)

Also, I wonder, what does a credit card prove? I mean, you don't have to be 18 to legally be able to own a credit card right?

Exactly. Many adults also choose not to own one so that excludes them from doing something as simple as looking at the Activision product line.
