mixed feelings because it's under 18, and therefore you dont feel that freedom of self is as important? Would you feel differently if this was for adults?

- namelessoracle 5y agoI think it's important to realize that children dont have the cognitive ability to resist certain things. Gambling skinner boxes are those things. I would be completely oky with my kid binging on the latest Mario or Mario Kart. I would love to see them playing an RPG. I dont want them playing Fortnite and other skinner box style games. They have teams designed to addict kids. This probably sounds silly but i would be ok with a kid being "addicted" to something because its fun and enjoyable. But being addicted because a team of scientists designed it be maximally dopamine inducing doesnt seem ok to me. Maybe there is no difference at the end of the day. But it feels like the kind of games that Nintendo puts out and the kind of games that EA puts out are VERY different.
- prpl 5y agoOur biggest problem with Fortnite is that it’s where the friends are so it’s a way, probably the primary way, for them to socialize - especially as some friends are on different continents. I wish this wasn’t the case, but fighting a network effect is hard as a parent.
