Online gaming is a growing business sector, as they give children the chance to learn, to collaborate with others, connect with friends around the world, learn new things, and simply have fun. With this, online gaming companies have the responsibility to shape their platforms in ways that both maximise the positive and minimise the negative impacts on children.
In the recent development, game developer Epic Games has acquired UK-based technology company SuperAwesome – which offers ‘kid-safe’ products to publishers and advertisers designed to ensure children have a safe and appropriate experience online.
