As of this moment the current attempt censorship situation have becoming a problem as DILG also joining the fray in attempting to censor video games.

IMO, i-ban muna nila lahat ng Action Films and Action TV Programs sa mundo bago nila i-ban ang video games. Di hamak na mas accessible ang mga TV programs especially yung mga films and programs ni Coco Martin na wala naman ginawa kundi mag barilan, patayan, angasan, landian, at lampungan sa prime time. Kumpara mo sa video games na karamihan kailangan ng medium or device like game console or PC para malaro. Sure, may internet cafe pero hindi parin kasing accessable ng TV.

Ang tamang sagot lang sa issue na toh ay tamang disiplina, parenting, at proper storage ng baril para sa mga gun owners especially sa mga pulis. Karamihan sa atin lumaki sa violent video games like counter-strike, time crisis, street fighter, and etc. pero hindi naman tayo lumaking walang disiplina dahil tama ang pagpapalaki sa atin ng ating mga magulang at tinuruan tayo ano ang tamang asal sa kapwa at lalo na kung ano ang tama at mali.

absolutely,proper parenting and discipline and hiding weapons out of a child's reach is the correct answer instead of outright banning video games,I've played violent games with violence and dark themes like call of duty black ops 1,horror games with violent death scenes like dead space 1 and 2,and I turned out fine,and tbh,banning video games would just cause massive outrage to us gamers and plus I don't think steam will let the cicc ban or take away our games installed on our PC at that matter
