As a gamer I noticed that most video games don't have children in them. Are game developers not allowed to include them for certain reasons? Is there a reason why? There are games like the Grand Theft Auto franchise and the Assassin's Creed franchise where they have cities and towns completely populated with people, but all of them are adults and no sight of any children, not even a baby or parent with a baby stroller. Like in the Grand Theft Auto games, the player is able to free roam and kill people if they ever felt like it. So, what's wrong with killing a child in a video game? Wouldn't it add a bit more realism to the game and relate it more to real life? I know it sounds immoral but is there like a legit reason behind all this? I'm planning to become a game designer and before I start sketching out ideas and a plot for a game, I'd like to know this small detail where most games, usually the Mature rated ones, don't have children?
How come in most video games there are no children?
