Child game center account
I am trying to set up a subsidiary Game Center account for my 10 year old, so he can play games on my old iPhone 4S, recently upgraded to iOS 7. This used to be easy. How do I do this?

Hey, hi. Same problem here. He was actually asking about the old nickname/profile accounts you could have on Game Center that were tied to one Apple ID. So, since my kid is underage, I made him a profile on Game Center under my Apple ID. On his old iPad running iOS 5.1, he can log in using his nickname and password. Under 7.1, on his new ipad, there is no option I can find, except to use his own, unique, Apple ID.
Which is what you told Dan to do.
But he is underage. He needs to be 13 to get an Apple ID. If i lie, then whatever email address I use will forever be tied ot the incorrect birthdate. So I would prefer not to make him his own Apple ID.
Instead, I would like to use the existing Game Center profile/nickname I set up for him years ago, and which he is still using happily in iOS 5.1.
But it seems that this is probably not possible anymore.
At the very least, it would be nice of someone from Apple to tell us that the previous nickname/profile feature of Game Center is no longer supported in Game Center on iOS 7.1.
That would be sad for me, but at least it would be a straight answer.
Danny.
