It's funny how we as gamers forget that some games are made strictly for children. I'm not buying it but my Daughter wants it because she is 10.

Kids games ≠ shitty games.
You know what I played as a child? Super Mario Bros 3, Punch Out, Bubble Bobble, Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Turtles in Time, Megaman, etc.
My friends kid enjoys fart jokes immensely, and a game filled with nothing but characters farting would make him laugh all day. That doesn't mean it deserves high ratings when there are plenty of good games that can be enjoyed by children. He also really enjoys Mario Kart 8, Rayman, Yoshi and Smash Bros, and he's 5 years old.

And yet there are so many kids who would rather play Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto.
To be fair, a professor of mine says it's because of all the violence in the real world, that they've now exposed to, thanks to access to mobile devices and web browsers. Ergo, running over prostitutes, and shouting slurs while mindlessly shooting other people, relieves stress in these kids.
Now you know why I fear for today's generation of children.

if a parent is letting a 7 year old play these games thats bad parenting period. Desensitizing kids to death and morality makes them more negative towards the world and people. It doesnt turn them into criminals but it does make them have unhappier later in their adult life
