Forums - Gaming - Rockstar: Parents who buy our games for their kids are terrible parents

mike_intellivision on 25 May 2010

I guess what all of this points to is that many parents make "uninformed" decisions.

In other words, they think since it is a game, it is OK. And has been pointed out herein, it depends on the content of the game (or movie or book or whatever) and the maturity of the child. Some kids can handle things better than others, so it requires effort on the part of parents -- and some just don't want to do it.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Gary Maeslan: Can I have a job?

Yes. Yes you can, because we're hiring like mad whilst so many other industries are firing. If you go to the Rockstar Games website you can click on jobs. But I have several tips for people looking for jobs in the gaming industry. Put your gamer score on your CV, not what your grades in school are. Also, don't write cover letters that are 18 pages long. Give me bullet points.

I found this part hilarious.

I played my first GTA game when I was 9, though I didn't play any properly until Vice City, and I would not describe my parents as terrible parents. So long as it is made clear that real violence is bad, and the child can make the distinction between the virtual world and the real world then it is fine

Technically, I still can't play RDR, but I reckon that my parents are doing anything awful by allowing me to do so

Haha, yeah I guess I need to get a 360 to work on my gamerscore if I want to work at Rockstar lol.

Colin Mackie: What's better, PS3 or Xbox?

I myself prefer the Xbox because of Xbox Live. But I own both and I'm not going to get sucked into the console wars. I think the best thing to do is sell blood until you can afford to buy both! I own a Mac and a PC for the same reason. They're two different tools that do different things.
