Growtopia isn't for kids
One of the points I made in my last big post, which got closed, because the game guardian didn't even read the whole thread (I don't blame him, I think there was like 10,000 words in that post).
Growtopia is not a game for kids - I'm talking about somewhere in the 7 year old range. Currently, Growtopia is rated 12+ on the iOS App Store, but on the Android's Play Store however, they have it set to PEGI 7 (apparently they don't set the rating themselves, but my point remains the same). This is not a game for such young players.
Ubisoft would have to change way too much in the game inorder for it to be appropriate for a child (I won't mention this again, but when I say ''child'' in this post, I mean 5-10 year olds).
Everything they'd have to change have been pointed out by forumers in the last few days, if you've paid attention:
* Removing every player with a number that has even the slightest sexual/inappropriate side to it (example: 420, 69, 666 etc.)
* Removing very old items from the game that aren't really kid friendly (cigars, sexy boxers, bikinis, guns, gross items etc.)
* Being very strict on the rules, causing tons of bans, losing many reasonable players who bring more to the game than just an extra player
* Hiring even more moderators, possibly hundreds, all inorder to protect innocent children from being scammed, being exposed to casinos or highly toxic players. Hiring that many moderators (or game guardians) can result in corruption in the game, since it would be harder to keep track of hundreds of players that have power in the game.
* When children get scammed, especially the younger ones, they won't take it easy. They'll most likely cry, and like I said in my last thread, parents don't want their kids playing a game that makes them cry!!!
All those listed points came off the top of my head, and I'm pretty sure there's some more solid points, that people can come up with. If you do, let me know and I'll add it!
Be respectful with replies and don't cause drama or single out players (that includes mods/devs/employees of Ubisoft) and let's have a conversation!
Also, I noticed this. So they claim that their game is for kids above the age of 12. That's a perfect age to start playing, and I agree with them. But what I don't agree with is why do they are being so strict on these ''inappropriate'' type rules, if they claim that the game is for ages 12 and above. 12 year olds know enough...
