Yet proposals to restrict or ban video games are not supported by the overwhelming body of available evidence. I have also watched the Philippine game development industry grow into a respected creative sector that creates opportunities in game development, software engineering, digital art, animation, design, and other creative fields. Like films, television, books, and other fictional media, video games are enjoyed by millions without determining how people behave in the real world. Today’s game platforms already provide multiple layers of protection for young users. Protecting children and supporting the Philippine game development industry are not competing goals.
