@iam16bit: : Dunno about you but generally speaking, i've been bothered more by adults then kids.

@oursin_360 : It's an easy way to keep your children busy, while you yourself do other things. It's also a good way for kids to spend their time, instead of just waiting around or staring into nothing, they can stimulate their brain and have some fun in the meantime. Games and kids have always gone hand-in-hand, no reason to stop that now.

@geraltitude Maybe it's because alot of multiplayer games now are free2play, probably having a higher influx of children on the PC side of things.

@memu: What if someone told you, that you couldn't play a game because of something you couldn't control? Kids are playing Five nights at Freddy's, a horror game, yet humorously popular with kids. I think it should be to the individual child, what he/she can or cannot take in of content, who better to make that choice then the person that will be using these games/movies.

@xolare : What about girls? I don't think kids should be filtered out just because of their age, alot of children play CS:GO and other hugely popular multiplayer games. What if we did that for any other attribute for a person, it could be racist, sexist, but when it's a child it's okay, why? It's an innocent videogame, that everyone should be able to enjoy.

@justin258: I think we have to move past the "be an adult" thing, because being an adult entails you to be very toxic to underaged people, it's the no true scotsman fallacy, just applied to age instead.

@marcsman : : Outdated meme, humans are fragile, they need love and care to succeed.

@gamer_152: I guess back then that being a child, i was always around other kids in online games, i guess that's what's up, kids are nicer to each other when no "adults" are around. I've noticed a phenomenon that only occurs online, if you say or try to do something about the harasser, you're suddenly just as bad, because you said something, you're put in the same category as the offender.

@themanwithnoplan: A further discussion element could be that girls are also "singled out". How often is it a girl that's being the asshole? It's rare that i hear any girls even use voice chat at all. Why it it always guys? I really don't think that most people that play video games are guys but even if that was true, girls rarely use voice chat.

@htr10
: : : : I disagree, i think kids should be able to do what they want, play games or watch movies, it should be their choice. Why do you think some people have it so hard to mute others or just turn off voice chat all together?

@boozak I dunno about that, most people behave out of game but ingame they're different people.

@stressedoutcat Mostly Team Fortress 2 these days. Why do you think people still treat this "mature" thing as a real thing? If anything the most immature people are adults, i don't think most kids would dare to act the same as some adults.

@brunothethird But games aren't for grownups only, some would argue that games are only for kids

@thepanzini:Are you playing exclusively on consoles?

#4  Edited By vampire_chibi

Ever played a multiplayer PC game these days?

As soon as kids use voice chat, they immediately get targeted by older people.. Why?

Why do some people feel the need to shut down people, let alone kids?

Back-in-da-day, this never happened to me as a child playing xbox 360 games online.

Is it the platform change or has the playing field just changed?

Alot of communities refer to kids as "Squeakers", because of their underdeveloped voice.

But imagine if people went after you for something that you cannot control, like the color of your skin or your sex, why is it "ok" in alot of communities to go after someone because of their age?

@someoneproud: Think it was FF13 that i just couldn't play on console because of the horrendous English VO, dunno if they ever came back and added Japanese VO but i never finished that game, think i got the Jap VO version for Steam though.

@random45: Yes the main story in Skyrim is very uninteresting but the lore is pretty decent and you get that mostly from books.

@ssully: It's not really a classic RTS though, it's more Tower Defence or rather Tower Offence then RTS but i do get your point.

@seikenfreak: There was this tech demo someone made of RA2 in VR, however, is that a good way to play those games? I feel like it's a nice little thing but i don't think i'll ever want to sit down for hours upon hours playing a RTS like that, i do prefer a more Top-down view that a regular screen gives and then not needing the headset on is pretty big too.

@oursin_360: I've seen EA re-release some of its 3D rts on IOS and such, don't think it was f2p though, alot of newer ones are.

@fisk0:Video game journalism seems overrated these days and if not, the need for them completely irrelevant, thanks to Youtube and the Steam reviews section. I'm actually still shocked, when people bring up journalists as high standing authorities on video games instead of just making the argument for the game yourself. Dunno if you understand what i'm trying to say. I have been wanting to play Tooth and Tail but i'm not sure how my i desire to, i do have a big backlog afterall.

@tennmuerti: I'd say most of those games are bad, that said, i feel like if it doesn't do something for me that my older games still do, then why bother with these new games? In a sense; it's like Call of Duty, we are getting a new FPS every year, but at somepoint, one came that you'll stick by and then not bother with the rest.

@ares42: Does that game have combat?

@wandrecanada: AAA? You mean like that new Warhammer game? that new Age of Empires game? Planetary Annihilation? I don't think there's a lack of them but rather that none of them are that interesting or good. When was the last time you got excited for a new RTS game?

@relkin: Yooka Laylee was made to be what it ended up being though, people that liked those sort of bad platformers enjoyed it still, i've been replaying the Crash series with a friend recently, those games are bad and unforgiving, atleast from a modern perspective. I don't think it's experimentation that's missing but rather innovation and a being bold enough to make something different. I think Grey Goo failed because it lacked personality and simplicity, the resource system is bad and the building system is clunky. Planetary Annihilation is bad because it fails to do anything interesting with it's scale. I think the RTS genre has been perfected ages ago, really what most of all these old games need, is better performance on new systems and better AI. If you think of Team Fortress 2, a game that has survived for over a decade now, solely because of developer support, that makes me think if other games had that support still, would any of them have died? Age of Empires 2 is getting that support now, again. It's been resurrected. Like TF2 i think most of these older RTSs really just need some updates and fixes.

@drdarkstryfe: Age of Empires 3 failed, why would 4 be any different? Halo Wars 2 is bad, 1 is on PC -finally- though. I'm use Warhammer fans like that game but all i'm hearing from the Total War fans is that the series went downhill several games ago. It's also interesting to point out that all these are sequels and not original IPs. I think the Warhammer game will do fine with people that like Warhammer but for all the other games, i think the core audience are going to stick with their old games.

@zebasteroid: Does it ruin your enjoyment of the game by having the Subtitles on like that?

@jameskond: Do you feel that they add anything to the game world or are they just filler?

@nicksmi56: Have you ever read a book about video game lore? The Halo books come to mind.

@pavlovianhell:I do completely agree with your observation but i feel that if the question was "Do you like reading good writing in video games?" would have polarized people in one direction over the other, asking a more generic question lead to better answers i think.
