    Hehe, I remember my daughter around that age loved to watch me play bioshock. She called it “the hand game”. Hope watching me harvest all those little sisters didn’t affect her in any way… I also used to set her up on top of my base with a sniper rifle and a mountain of ammo and let her take care of blood moon hordes in 7 days to die.

      This, of course, doesn’t mean that GTA is good for kids. It just means that something else is even worse.

        I must have been around 13/14years old. I asked for it. We had an old PC with the original game on it and I learned there were new versions, so I asked for the newest one. My parents knew about the original game but since it was just blocky DOS graphics, they thought it would be something similar. However in retrospect, it’s not at the level of letting a 5 yo play GTA.

      Depends on what’s meant here with “GTA”. GTA 1 was not really that bad. There’s shooting, which is not cool, but it’s not very graphic.

      Then there’s GTA2 where you collect people from the street and turn them into kebab meat with a lot of screaming. And, starting from GTA3, the games start getting seriously.bad fir children.

      But, the meme might mean GTA1 or GTA2.
