Why are children playing??

[Utterly-NutZ]

I mean literal ones, not the ones that are over the 17+ rating for the game, but actual, clearly from their voice, children.

I just played a round of the new operation and there was a child playing who sounded maybe 10-12, and that is probably stretching it, who I have since blocked.

I get that the world is messy, and most movies and TV shows aren't much better, but seriously parents, send the child outside instead.

because there's no parent oversight when it comes to video games regarding children playing anything rated M.

not shocking, been going on for decades, have you never played Call of Duty, or seen the videos of kids talking trash?

ESRB has never meant anything, except to make some politicians feel good about themselves.

Do i think its right? no, not really, but parents are going to parent, or lack thereof..

Children? In my online video game? At this time of year? In this hemisphere?

They need to go outside and play, like children.

I'm not a COD or GTA player or fan but I recall the days when my boys really wanted to play and they were too young, so outside it was.

Sure, I get the hype, it's just disappointing I suppose.

You'll be surprise how kids can access such things back in my day. So this is nothing new

Nobody follows age ratings, everyone in my class used to play diablo 2 when we were like 8.

I watched Terminator, Alien and Aliens when I was 9. Alone, while my parents were working. Good old 80s and pirate VHS copies :)

Didn't we all do that way back when?

because age rating is just a suggestion. I mean did you let the +18 label on adult content stop you from viewing it?

Or how about school, since it's a weekday, and he was clearly whining to his parent about missing a sock to get ready for school so...

But anywho, snark away, was just giving my view that kids need to be doing something other than playing this game :)

Lets not all act like we didn't play and watch content we weren't old enough for. It's always going to happen, just mute/block and move on

I find it fascinating that some people are upset about children playing their video game and demand that they go outside.

My 11yr old daughter enjoys space marine 2 on average difficulty, and has no problem telling people to catch up or get kicked.

I'm not sure where you got me being "upset" when I clearly said "disappointed", but again, I've seen your other posts so..

Back to better things :)
