The game is suitable for children between 7 and 10 years old in the majority of Europe and the United States. But Turkey's family and social policy minister, Aysenur Islam, has ordered an investigation over suggestions that it promotes violence, the Haberturk website says. The website says that if the government considers it too violent, they can request an all-out ban. The decision was prompted by a journalist who informed Mrs Islam that players get points for killing other characters, including women and asked her what her ministry would do regarding it. The Pan European Game Information group, which assigns ratings to computer games, says Minecraft contains "non-realistic-looking violence towards characters which, although human, are not very detailed".
A journalist at one Turkish gaming magazine says that the ministry's concerns are misplaced. Kaan Gezer, a Leadergamer journalist, stated that she's never seen a child use a sword to attack people due to Minecraft. "Stories like this cause the video game industry in Turkey to slow down or worsen." Minecraft is extremely popular with gamers of all ages. It reached its 100 millionth user in February 2014. Teachers in some schools in the UK have also played the game.
