Minimum Age Requirement

[Orange B]

Without trying to offend the minors on this board, does the community really feel that CS:GO is appropriate for the underage?

Wouldn't it make sense to have a minimum age requirement of say, 16 or 18, for playing this game?

From just a few weeks of play, my own opinion is that younger teenagers shouldn't be exposed to the dynamics of the game. It's not so much the violence as the frequent abuse and trash-talk that takes place during tough rounds. At the very least, there should be segregation (i.e., under-16s should only be able to play with people under 16).

They can prolly handle the Violence and be skilled, but some times children are annoying, arrogant and greif because they think its funny.

I totally agree with the sentiment.

WHilst nothing to do with the violence or content of the game, many children are simply too puerile in their approach to:

1) communication
2) taking things too personally or getting overexcited/emotional
3) unable to acknowledge rational input or conisider the team beyond their own contribution
4) failure to identify the imapact of their commentary on the concentration and performance of others.
5) Utter lack of decency
6) Abuse of communication provision
7) Inability to make decisions from logic and aforethought, for example in assessing where to take the bomb or which location to defend along with the weapon disrributions of the team and the skills of the opposition.

Even if you think so, there won't be. Specified ages means smaller target market which means less money for valve.

If your 14 you get 2 years ban for this talking open here on the forum. Get your VAC now :-D

As if valve will give a ♥♥♥♥ about that anyway. Implementing this change won't give them revenue, but adding new skins and cases will.

I think skins should have a age restriction on them, kids can't think for themselves when it comes to money and they might end up scammed or smth.

Thats actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. Age limit on a cooler gun? No, thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous. It is their fault ENTIRELY, of getting scammed. New, or not new, you dont trust anyone online.

Kids aren't responsible, they'll find a stupid way to get scammed, gamble, lose their skins.

I do wish there were adult servers , but i know for a fact the game is not really worked on properly anymore. same silly large vote window with the bipping sound you cant take off and radio messages you cant turn down is an exemple of the game not been updated properly, ... you shouldnt even be allowed to vote during a round it s silly and it s as abused as the radio messages. bots... so talkative and annoying as well . i guess the old devs are been replaced by cheap commercials

Everybody is so desensitized to violence now uh’ days, I don’t think it matters.

[yung robitussin]

atleast in America I should say, I guess I cant really speak for everyone here

CSGO is rated M for Mature

*flashback to a legit 4 year old hopping on a Gmod prop hunt server, everyone beating the crap outa him*

I agree in general, if there's communication in online games kids shouldn't be on under a certain age. Excluding games made for kids with actual filters, obviously.
