if you have kids or want to have them, how old would they need to be for you to let them play gta?

[StevenTylerAerosmith]

for me, it would be 7 or 8, since restricting kids media content isn't something i'm big on, but I don't want like toddlers or really little grade schoolers to play it because they're too young to understand it

[Hadouken]

you want a 7/8 year old to play gta ? I dont think this is a good idea

some parents make their kids wait until they're 18, which is far too old.

Late teens, 15 or 16 probably

a lot of kids get to play in middle school, to me at least, all this hysteria and alarmism over violent video games is jus like the hysteria over weed decades ago

I played gta when I was 11. Even at such a young age, it was obvious to me I couldn't drive my car down the side walk or shoot at cops in real life.

exactly

people who say "gta will make kids violent and aggressive" are relying on either highly flawed psychology experiments or their own false idea that adolescents don't know right from wrong

i'll let my kids play starting in 3rd grade, probably

I don't mind violent video games, but I don't want my kid playing them at such a young age, while their brain is still developing.

[Mortimer]

I dont know what GTA is. But I would let them play with smartphones or to play computer games at early age like 7 years old maybe. I think its a good idea if they are able to handle computers, smartphones at early age and internet. I would restrict only some content like extreme violence and pornography.

At about 12 years old. That's the age when most kids start being able to thoroughly discern between good and bad, and reality and fiction, in all their dimension.

Is the same age when I think that nearly everybody who commit an horrible crime with premeditation and treachery should be held responsible for their act and be treated as an adult.
