Do Violent Games Make Violent People?
Do violent video games lead to real-life violence? Most gamers would argue vehemently that they do not, and that might be true. But two studies conducted on gamers this year came up with some surprising results about how the brain reacts to video violence. Could all those conservative groups have a point after all?
Conservative groups have argued for years now that playing violent video games leads young people to real violence. It is true that many people who commit such acts have played violent video games (the high school students from Columbine come to mind as one of the more obvious examples), but this does not prove that playing the games caused them to act violently. Some argue that people who have violent tendencies naturally gravitate toward violent games.
Benefits of playing video games
Consequently, it is easier to achieve and maintain a person's undivided attention for long periods of time. They may also provide an innovative way of learning.
Videogames can provide elements of interactivity that may stimulate learning.
Videogames also allow participants to experience novelty, curiosity and challenge. This may stimulate learning.
Videogames equip children with state-of-the art technology.
Videogames may help in the development of transferable IT skills.
Videogames can act as simulations. These allow participants to engage in extraordinary activities and to destroy or even die without real consequences

You're gonna face violence one way or another atleast Roblox isn't as violent as most games in the market. |
|
|
Ooohh how bout we just stick to 13+ games, we already have 13+ gears, so maybe we would get more decent games with some being age restricted, and before you say anything about this game being for all ages, take a good look at how many 13+ gears we already have. |

Dude your name is saw_blade, you think that doesn't sound violent? |
|

ROBLOX isn't specifically for kids, it's for all ages. If kids don't like it, they can play other games.

"yes becouse hidding reality from children is good"\
sarcasm aside, Phantom Forces does not simulate a reality of any sort.
It's better to not let them experience reality as opposed to letting them experience a false reality.
In a real gun fight you:
-Don't respawn
-Don't regen
-Don't regenerate stamina quickly
-Get tired
-Can't Run and Gun
-Don't Always know who's Friendly and Who Isn't
-Cant leave/evacuate right away
-Cant Have Fun

well i guess its time to ban nerf guns missles and everything else and send them to #### - OBAMA 2015 wat was that Mr. Tomato head? |
|

No. Not all people on this website are little kids. I don't play gun games on here. But the only reason is because I don't have the patience to learn how to play them. I'm pretty sure at the rate maturity is going. Kids have seen worse then a few virtual people getting shot by virtual guns. |

Roblox is a game meant to be for kids 8-18
What's the point of removing gun games?
