Turkey Minister to investigate Minecraft 'violence' News from Elsewhere... ... media reports from around the globe that were discovered by BBC Monitoring
9 February 2015
According to reports, the government of Turkey is looking into allegations that Minecraft is too violent.
The game is suitable for children aged between 7 and 10 years old in the majority of Europe and the United States. However, Turkey's family and social policies minister, Aysenur Islam, has requested an investigation into claims that it promotes aggression according to the Haberturk website says. If it's deemed to be violent, then the government could request an all-out ban, according to the website. The move was inspired by a journalist who informed Mrs. What about Islam that players get points for killing other characters - including women and asked her what her ministry would be doing 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 from a Turkish gaming magazine believes that the ministry's concerns are misplaced. "I have never seen an innocent child grabbing an axe and threatening people because of Minecraft," Kaan Gezer states on the Leadergamer website. "Stories like this cause the video game industry in Turkey to stall or even deteriorate." Minecraft is extremely popular among gamers of all age groups. In February 2014, it reached its 100 millionth user. It has also been used by teachers at a number of schools across the UK.
