Yeah, yeah.
You walk down the street and see the word "ACID" written on the fence. But there is no acid anywhere in sight, but there is a fence. Wood. And made up of planks.
What are you, 5 years old? Do you need to explain such obvious things why do all developers insert remarks about the age and coincidence of characters, places of action and events with real ones?
From Patreon: "
Story
Main character (a guy or a girl, your choice) from a small town turns 18 and it's time to go to college.
Thankfully, they get an opportunity to move into big city and apply into a new experimental college. New live, new opportunities, and no oversight from an overprotective mom!
Turns out main character doesn't even have to pay for the college! All they have to do is sign a strange contract and agree to follow college rules, breaking which might have grave consequences, up to being expelled...
And not only that, the rules might change in the future, too... "
As far as I know, Max was never underage in any Big Brother or clone game. Max was also able to handle money or get loans on his own (in most of the BB games/clones). I'm not sure which country you live in, but to get a loan in most, you either need parental consent (and co-signing), or be over 18 with adequate revenues. They also go to college, which to the best of my knowledge, is 18+ (aside from a few exceptions/geniuses). Seeing how Patreon killed BB because of incest only, I doubt they've seen him as underage either, otherwise all other versions/clones should have been striked for underage by now.
Another point, in several clones/bb games, max can drive/buy a car and or moto, and drive it right away, which implies he's got a driving license also.
