@EdwardDLuffy I don't know, if I had kids I probably would not let them play games of violence until about 12 or so. I think the first semi violent game I played was probably the original diablo in the early 90's. I was probably in 5th-6th grade.
The first FPS I played was Golden Eye back in what was that 95-96ish. Most kids in my generation played those games. We turned out alright! haha
I definitely won't let my kids have free access to the internet or streaming until they are adults. I have bumped into some really weird people on the internet to say the least, people with anger issues or who are just abusive. Adults can handle that and write it off as someone who has problems, but that kind of thing can huge impacts on kids self esteem development and so on. That would be my major concern. I game with my nephew from time to time but it's in private lobbies with locked parties.

- 5 years ago@DarthValtrex Exactly.
I was once playing with a 12-year-old who said "don't take my main!" during the selection process and this random adult started yelling all kinds of horrible abuse. I shouted back "STFU he's a kid" and we both started getting abuse so I told the 12-year-old to quit (as I did too).
Sadly the internet has alerted us to the truth that the world has countless numbers of very horrible people.
