Currently, a huge number of games set a rather tough task for children: knock down, catch, kill someone and get points for it. This leads to the fact that the child does not develop a sense of compassion and pity, and the blood on the screen does not cause horror. Such games develop only aggression, desires to destroy, violently destroy. Most often, the task must be completed for a while, because of this, the child does not respond to what is happening around, including the requests of the parents.
