Violent games News

Hearing a case calling for the shut down of online gambling sites and applications, a bench of the Madras High Court observed that online games were not only spoiling youth, but also young children. The court mentioned that children were getting addicted to dangerous and violent games and playing them in the wee hours of the day, which would impact them adversely. A bench of Justice MM Sundaresh and Justice Hemalatha had pointed out that parents are in the dark about the late-night gaming habits of their children, adding that even a Police Constable in Tamil Nadu had to take the extreme step owing to his gambling addiction that had gone beyond control. Justice MM Sundaresh said that youngsters must not blindly follow matinee idols and celebrities, to the extent of doing whatever they are asked to do.
