How does your 10 year old have enough money to buy a game in the first place? Time to shrink that allowance a bit.
Dood, have you seen rich parents and how much money they give their kids now days? Not all rich parents, but a lot of them do.
I am quite the avid gamer and it's freaking amazing how many kids are on these online games. And the games really aren't the worst part, it's the community. Imagine your kid hanging out at a dorm house and listening in to the casual types of conversations that go on there.
These online games are full of it, and I cannot count how many kids I see come on.
How do I know they are kids and not just someone saying they are 12, 13 ext? Well some of the games I play have voice communication in them. And that type of language and subject matter that you would hear at a frat house is talked all around them.
Also, I help to run a multigaming faction. That's like an online gamers club, were friends play different online games together. When you have a large clan, guild, or faction (or whatever the certain's game term for gaming club) you typically get alot of new recruits. We have voice communication servers for our club and we hear these kids come on, wanting to join. They are the most foul mouthed, perverted kids. Course, there are some uncorrupted kids out there too, we allow them to join.
I have actually considered running a service that would be like a "family safe" gaming environment, with servers in all games, forums ext. Because there are just so many young kids out there who's parents give them complete high speed access on computers in their room.
I mean, it's not like I can tell these kids "hey, go tell your parents to take your computer out of your room and put it in the family room". They would laugh at me.
But ya, all these kids buy their own games all the time. Their parents having no clue as to what they are buying.
