Raneman25: Some games on GOG have full nudity in them, yet you can buy them as a minor, is this not illegal?
I bought Mass Effect the other day (rating: 18 and over) and all I had to do is tick a box to certify I'm over that age. That's all that seems to be legally required.
Moral:
Anyone of any age with a credit card can buy anything on the internet these days. Companies have no way of knowing who's on the end of a keyboard, and have no way of knowing unless a system is developed that checks individual's data records (e.g. via bank or passport data) - God forbid if that ever happens.
GOG et al can only take it on good faith that people tell the truth when they purchase, and that parents are diligent and monitor what their children are purchasing.
