Barely a month has passed since the birth of my firstborn, and already I have caught him staring in wide-eyed wonder at the television while I game. As a new parent, I have more questions than answers with regards to raising a child, but I wonder: Which games should Lucien play when he's old enough? When exactly is "old enough?"

I would certainly hold no hard feelings if he grew up to have no interest in video games. It's a fun hobby that can bring people together, but it can just as easily become an obsessive habit done in isolation.

We have a responsibility to empower children to play responsibly and help parents and caregivers with tools that can be set up in the most appropriate way for their child. In addition to PEGI and strict privacy tools, video game companies make parental control tools available on all consoles and devices that allow limits to be set on spending, screen time and in-game communication.
