Question for parents with older children (into the double digits)

Got my first one the way, when you find out let me know too

@IAsh, I understand where you are coming from, but what's the point? The only way to solve this is for parents to pay attention to what their children play and people will have to start upholding the ESRB rating, but like the EULA of videogames, parents
don't care and some just think "my child won't become like that". I too have proven that I'm mature enough to play games like this when I was younger, which is why my parents don't worry about what I play anymore. I even shy away from games that are too violent,
such as STATE OF EMERGENCY. Enough about me though, my point is that this is a reality that older players must face. Kids will gain access to M-Rated games; it's a fact, and it happens either through parents' carelessness, underestimataion of their children,
or children getting their parents or older adult figure to but it for them, without giving away all the details.

I was kind of hoping that the XB1 would attract older gamers, but after a few games with parents playing and the children blairing into the Mic, I don't know who I want to game with at this date and time.

Teenagers are a pain and parents are too occupied during gaming. The concept of Mic chat is great though lol

Well im a parent . Its a parents job to protect their children from the freaks of this world because noone else will.

There has always been nasty ppl in this world who enjoy inflicting pain upon others espeacialy on innocent ie children but due to the invention of the internet and other online social sources this gives those sick ppl more access to children and as gaming
and internet are a part of childrens everyday life now then parental controls are the only way a parent can protect you from these ppl.

I know children think this is just a way for parents to control your fun but that isnt so if you look around these forums your read tales of children having their accounts hacked and being racially abused and i read the other day of some1 sending a child
pictures of his genitals..

Now i know you may say yes but this happens in every day life outside the house but that is something a parent cant control as much, letting our children be subjected to this in our own homes is wrong .

If your under 18 your still a minor ( uk laws ) and are still classed as a child..Seems unfair yes as there are alot of mature young aduts like your self aand your best bet is to sit down with your parents and ask what it is they are afraid of by keeping
the controls on and convinse them you understand and that your mature enough now to judge ppl yourself.

We were all children once we all know what parents were like and its not antill your older that you will realise why they did what they did

Speaking for myself, I always ask whether a digital purchase will add to my experience overall or not. If the answer is yes, then I may take steps to buy it. Most people are smart enough to figure things out on their own. As for kids spending their own parent's
money? That's wrong, and if the parents are good parents (everyone makes mistakes), their children will quickly learn a much-needed lesson.
