Here we go again with things getting blocked/banned {sigh}

First and foremost, everything I said in my post on the India banning chinese apps thread applies here as well... so please go read that first (not going to say it again as I have already said it many times).

Secondly, the fact that a game has to reach to this level where it’s actually a threat to people’s wellbeing is just sad. You’d be surprised at how many people take such games way too seriously. Leading them to commit irresponsible and sometimes dangerous actions if things don’t go the way they want to it (such as losing a game, not being allowed to play, etc...).

Thirdly, I absolutely HATE said games such as Fortnite and PUBG where you’re really not even working towards anything... not even a proper storyline... you’re just playing for the sake of scoring more in-game currencies and levels... potentially wasting money to aid in that process (dont get me started on the pay-to-win games). And in honesty, those games are just one big scam in my opinion.

Thirdly, banning the games causing trouble isn’t a good solution. What should’ve been done is first and foremost proper parenting. Parents should raise their children to be able to efficiently differentiate between what’s real and what’s not... along with being able to differentiate from the right and wrong... combined with educating them on what’s considered as too much. Had this have been done, children (and even adults!) would know where to stop when playing said games, and would be completely responsible when doing so. And this doesn’t apply to games only... but rather real life situations... banning games does not replace good parenting.
