    Default Parents who buy kids Red Dead Redemption are bad parents

    Game developer warns that the game is for adults

    One of the developers behind the highly successful Red Dead Redemption has hit out at parents who buy the game for their kids.

    Lazlow, one of the game's developers and the radio DJ featured in the GTA games said that parents who buy the game for their kids are “bad parents”. The game has been criticised by the usual bunch of nutters who believe it should be banned in case some kid gets their paws on it and is influenced by the violence to commit lots of violence. Most of the people who complain did not have computer games when they were kids, they were too busy shooting Germans. Previously they used to moan about television.

    Lazlow however has come up with a good message. He said he did not design the game for kids.

    “We design games for adults because we're adults. There's a lot of kids games out there that we're not interested in playing. Just like you enjoy watching movies and TV shows with adult themes and language and violence that's the kind of thing we seek to produce,” he told a press conference.

    While it is fair enough, we doubt it will shut people up. Many, particularly in America thinks that computer games should be censored and kids of today should be reading the bible instead. (And we all know there's absolutely no violence in the bible. sub.ed.)

    Most times the parents don't know anything about the game they ask and get it and if asking fails then throw a tantrum and then they get it its really a win win situation for a lot of these kids. It usually does affect kids of a certain level of intelligence and maturity which most American children are not known to have, the debate about gaming leading to violence has long been thrown out the window after they did a survey and found out that it was either Russian or Germany that had the most violent games but yet the violence committed by children or it was the overall murder rate of the country a year was not ever remotely close to as high as America.

    Angry I agree

    I would say it another way though -- say that they do a bad job or rearing their kids.

    I don't subscribe to the ratings thing too much because all kids of a certain age are not the same. The wise (not good) parent knows the mind and the maturity level of their individual and proceed to purchase games that fit their maturity level. Sorry to say, but there are many immature parents out there as well who do not think this deep, asking whether or not their child can handle the content of the game that they are desiring.

    Just my thoughts...

    I agree that parents should Monitor their Kids closely when it comes to violent games movies and music, you can't be one sided, if you fight against violent games for kids then you must fight against violent movies, music etc... cant be biased, this game is MAD!!!, a must have, it is the GTA of Western, ;-)
