Online gaming is a growing business sector, which
means those involved in the gaming business are
creating digital environments that draw the attention
of children around the world, in a way few others can.
Online games give children the chance to learn to;
collaborate with others, connect with friends around
the world, learn new things, and simply have fun.
However, as is the case with many activities that
children engage in online, children can also experience
harm while playing games. As such, online gaming
companies have the responsibility to shape their
platforms in ways that both maximize the positive and
minimize the negative impacts on children.
