I was thinking, I remembered one incident. I’m standing, eavesdropping on a conversation between two children who are 9-10 years old. (or even 8 I don’t remember anymore) They talk, of course, about games. One hastily puts forward some kind of games, the other says that they are for children… O_O, period. He seems to like something like dead space. Come on, come on. PEGI 18+ not? The mentality of these guys… Well, except for the fact that the one who loves dead space is a representative of a rudimentary schoolboy, then everything is fine with the mentality.
But really, who needs these restrictions?? They are not profitable for both publishers and children who want to play those games. Parents often do not monitor their children due to absence
time because they don’t care. Or maybe they don’t see anything bad in games.
CoD can be easily downloaded from Steam (after purchase, I mean) The age limit system is simply excellent! I can first enter that I’m 5 years old, then I’ll reload the Steam page, and now I’m already 25, and Steam believes me! Origin doesn’t even have that.
And what prevents them from downloading from all sorts of torrents and routers?? NOTHING!
So, in my opinion, there is no point in such a restriction. The child will download it anyway if he wants! And he will play while his parents are not at home. The only way out in this situation is to cut off the fucking Internet. And at the same time, he can take a disk (although in our electronic times it’s not very relevant… But still) from his classmates.
So we get the following picture:
1 Nobody gives a damn about the age limit
2 If someone wants to download something that is not appropriate for their age, then they will do it.
3 If, let’s say, children don’t pick up bad words or expressions in games, they will do it, say, while walking down the street (Yes, every 6th person they meet swears)
And is it necessary?? What do you think?
P.S. I wrote it very confusingly, I hope the meaning is clear.
Dead Space

The fact that parents are not aware of what their beloved child is doing is not a problem with PEGI, ESRB or anyone else, but a problem with the parents.
And so… well, I would suggest selling soft drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and all kinds of condoms to children. And even give out free samples. If we equate them to adults.
www.softportal.com/software-16746-kindergate-oditelskij-ontrol.html – KinderGate Parental Control – an application that gives parents the opportunity to control their children’s Internet access. The program implements options for filtering web resources by category, and also has the ability to block Internet resources both manually and automatically. The filtering module contains an updated database that includes more than 500 million Internet resources, which makes it possible to protect a child from unwanted Internet content.

Yes you can hack it. But while they’re hacking, at least they’re learning something. And put the correct answers to passwords from textbooks on mathematics, literature, history, etc.d. Until you learn it, why don’t you sit at the computer?.
Children are born pure, innocent, smart. As life progresses, they become dumber, begin to drink, smoke, betray, and generally indulge in all sorts of vices.
Conclusion: Children cannot live. Children are spoiled by life.
Remember your childhood. Didn’t you trample the snow with measured steps, pretending to be a thunderous terminator?? Didn’t you run around the yard with sticks and snowballs, pretending to be some partisans, Ninja Turtles or someone else?? Everyone dreamed of becoming some kind of corsair sailing the sea, a commander on the battlefield, or, at worst, a Battle Ranger (GO-GO-GO POWER RANGERS) Ahem… Yes. What’s the salt?. We met our heroes from films, books and TV. And they were all very impressionable, weren’t they?? And the kids are still the same. They are impressionable. I’m not saying that after playing Manhunt, a young man will go to strangle his friends with a plastic bag, but still, oh how it will be reflected in his brain. It’s one thing when you spend your childhood in the media world, surrounded by various kind and bright Leo Bonifaces. And it’s another thing when Necromorphs and gay Shepards are circling around you all the time.
And answering the question about the rating system – yes, it is needed. If in our Mother Royce it is customary to not give a damn about such trifles, then we can remember Australia, where until recently games with a +18 rating were not published at all. And you know, somehow the kids don’t play GTA downloaded from torrents at every turn.
If, let’s say, children don’t https://slots-n-play.co.uk/login/ pick up bad words or expressions in games, they will do it, say, while walking down the street (Yes, every 6th person they meet swears)
The logic is simply amazing.
* If sooner or later everyone dies, let’s speed up the process.
Do you know what they call people who allow themselves to swear in the presence of their children?? *I would say, but I’m afraid even a spoiler won’t save you*. So I don’t need “Every 6th person swears, so let’s swear everywhere” (that’s exactly the wording you have written right now).
And in general, the world would be cleaner if each of us had a mother standing over our shoulder.
This is now based on what is said? Based on watching two hundred episodes of “Let Them Talk” about drinking mothers and single fathers? Those “parents” who don’t look after their children – *I would say it again, but again even a spoiler won’t save you*. If their main task is to feed, put on shoes and put their child to bed, then, blah, blah blah, they’re not even “parents.”. Well, or I’m just the rarest lucky person who managed to be born into a normal family. I always got one or two slaps on the wrist if my dad noticed that I was secretly watching Aliens on the VHSN. So “parents” who don’t give a damn about how their child spends their time should be put in a corner themselves.
Well, I went too far with drugs. They are not so easy to get as a game with an inappropriate age limit 🙂
P.S. I still have the feeling that I conveyed the meaning of this message incorrectly..
Almost yes. But for the most part I meant in games: “foul language” and not too strong forms of violence (TWD is no longer suitable) like in the same Warface, CoD, BF was killed, and okay. No unnecessary details.
As for the erotic scenes, let it remain as it is..
Yes, I sometimes use such protection myself. And yet, we need to be more careful with education through games.
However, some ratings could be shifted. The same CoD 18+ Personally, I would give it 12+ (There is almost no particular cruelty there, by the age of 12 the brain will already be stronger and will normally perceive such things.) And so on…
usergate.ru/products/kindergate_parental_control/ – in more detail. It’s even possible to monitor your child’s correspondence on VKontakte and other ICQs.
So the problem is still with the parents.
I played Quake and Duke Nukem from the age of 6, then when GTA3 came out I also played Vice City. Hmm, am I crazy about this??
So “parents” who don’t give a damn about how their child spends their time should be put in a corner themselves.
Why are you even interested in this question?? In Russia, everyone wanted to give a shit about these restrictions. Everyone here played HL2 and many still did at release, but few were still 18 then, but no one had any problems buying it.
only my brother in Barnaul is given 50 rubles a day for breakfast and 50 for pocket expenses, but they gave me 10 for everything.
I had. But the problem was a little different – he could play GTA, but he asked his parents if he could go to a strip club 😀
Not allowed.
