Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
I have previously posted on the dangers of Minecraft, and how it is a magnet for pedophiles. Now, Sony a multi-billion dollar company that published a version of Minecraft their console profits it and facilitates the distribution of it admits what we all knew. That playing Minecraft is a danger to children. When asked why they refused to allow users of their console to interact with users of competitor's consoles, Sony gave a response that should be both enlightening and troubling for people everywhere who continue to be in denial about the dangers of Minecraft
If Minecraft really was no risk to children, as many people claim, then why does Sony see the need to prevent Minecraft players from interacting with those on the PC or Nintendo Switch? Don't get me wrong, I'm not sticking up for Sony. They're bad for letting people play Minecraft too. If they really wanted to protect children, they'd ban the game altogether, but at least they have the decency to limit the damage to our young ones, unlike Nintendo and Microsoft. Can we once and for all discard the notion that Nintendo is doing anything to "protect" our children as the Eurogamer representative falsely claims? They just want plausible deniability so when online pedophiles seduce and rape our children they can point the finger at Microsoft.
Yet more evidence that the Nintendo Switch is a tool of Satan designed to corrupt our youth

Eurogamer: Well, you must see that PlayStation owners are upset. They want to play with Switch owners, PC owners and Xbox One owners for these two big and important games, and they don't have an explanation for why. That's what I'm getting at, really.
Jim Ryan: Yeah. We've got to be mindful of our responsibility to our install base. Minecraft - the demographic playing that, you know as well as I do, it's all ages but it's also very young. We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation curated universe. Exposing what in many cases are children to external influences we have no ability to manage or look after, it's something we have to think about very carefully.
Eurogamer: It doesn't seem to be a problem for Nintendo, perhaps the most mindful video game company of the protection of children.
Jim Ryan: Yeah, that's true. Everybody has to take their own decisions. We'll do that. Like I say, we have no philosophical stance against cross-play at all.
