Iâm a mother of two kids. While still underage and canât play this game, my logic tells me that when I allow them to play this game I automatically expose them to the following: foul language (especially from players), violence, content with sexual implications.
This game is rated 12+. Iâm pretty sure our 12 y/o have heard worse than the B word.
And if you really are that kind of parent then simply deny them acces to WoW.
Huh?
I donât know about you but all of the things that were below the 16 rating for me as a kid didnât really have swearing in them and certainly not the B word.
Youâre not supposed to have âfightsâ around your kids in the first place
PG-13 in my country means that there might be swearing, but usually those words arenât really directed at people.
Very good !
Kids always give best feedback ,for a few reasons :
1 Kids are not indoctrinated by politics and history
2 Strong intuition
3 Simply honest
i can only thank Steve for making this public statement, cause before i was doubting if he has some shred of personal responsibility for his actions.
now i know its for the kids, so he has absolutely none
I donât really care either way, though that whole zone is dark and messed up and hardly suitable for children so seems like the least of concerns. But making reactionaries mad is always a plus and it brings out all the people who want to yell about âSJWsâ or whatever so you can ignore them.
I fail to understand how are these parents planning to protect their kids from the in game toxicity they surely encounter later on. This isnât a single player game with a very controlled environment.
Also if these kids have access to the internet they clearly will/already watched worse stuff than what you can find in WoW.
Iâm not sure if itâs been said already but Iâll say it regardless.
WoW is rated T for teen for a reason, it literally said on the label " Mild language " poor parenting shouldnât be responsible for itâs removal, itâs just another example of devs thinking they know better than everyone.
Yes but itâs one of those conflicted situations where itâs so feeble and petty that the sensible side of the brain thinks âWho cares?â but the very fact itâs so feeble and petty is annoying because of the blatant pandering to alleged political correctness-- which in fact should be called virtue signalling with the even more unpleasant addition of virtue signalling for profit.
