No, because those devices have little or no controls and those controls are easily bypassed and/or not honored by the platform.
replyI think they should. Theres a fine line between beneficial and detrimental. I had a 3DS growing up and could browse the web with its very gimped browser, and I think something like that is actually very good for a child (able to access the internet and view simple and informative sites while being too limited to access social media and the like)
replyThe problem is unrestricted access to mobile devices. A game console or desktop PC isn't as big of a deal.
replyWhat’s the difference? They all reach the same internet
replyHave you ever visited any game store and turned off nsfw protection?
replyI love gaming, but I hate all the smutt games. It discredits the medium, essentially what has also happened to anime.
I'm kinda baffled about the Switch store's quantity of dating/whatever adult-ish games.
replyI don't really want to turn on age-based filters (to the point that I've never investigated if they even exist) but at this rate, there's hardly anything worth looking at in the recent feed.
The target demographics for Nintendo products have shifted from kids to.. kidults? Most kids nowadays play on phones or in rarer cases PC/Xbox, Nintendo's lost much of their cache (in my visible experience) save for children parented by the "mindful milennial" types
replyMakes sense but there's just... so much of it. That and all the shovelware.
replyIt's just hard to imagine that's anything close to what Nintendo wants users to experience, but I guess they need the money.
They really could find a niche in making phones for kids that have walled-garden internet access, they were so good at doing so with the ds but alas..
