Should I allow my 10 year old nephew to play a 12

[paprickapaull]

To all

Should I let my nephew play fortnite on the PlayStation he is 10 and he is wanting to play.
He is staying at my house for 2 weeks while his parents are on their honeymoon.
Should I let him play?

What do his parents think?

Ask his parents.

I don’t let my children...

I would ask the parents but even if they say yes restrict time

Well I allow my son to play this. He's 10. They are just guidelines, but I think you're best asking his parents and seeing what they say.

Just asked parents they say that I can decide

Well that is completely useless answer. I would go on no in that case.

I am assuming he doesn’t have but at home so any aftermath will be on your head.

Always take age ratings with a pinch of salt and just use a dose of common sense and also look at what others his age are doing and what their parents allow

I think the problem with fortnite is not so much the content but that it's designed to be addictive in a way that's beyond the ability of most 10 year olds to deal with. And like most addictive things it's easier not to start.

Would you let him watch a 12 film? If yes, Fortnite is no worse that that. As Una says the main problem is the addictive element, but that's not your problem if his parents let him anyway.

If his parents usually allow him to play it at home then yes if they don't usually allow it then no. Agree you need to set down some rules of when he can play though and I'd also be aware of the fact he can make purchases on it - be careful if you have the facility set up to purchase via your bank.

I'm very strict about games but after playing it to see what it was like, I let my 10-yr-old play Fortnite. He always comes off when he's supposed to. It's caused no extra problems.
But I wouldn't make that decision for someone else's child so if his parents aren't willing to decide then I'd say 'no'.

Theres no blood think there may be a couple of tame swear words but over all its a very tame game. Just alot of kids are getting addicted as long as everyone keeps it on a timed schedule it'll be fine

There are no swear words in the game. The potential for swearing is from other players. There's also the option to make and accept friend requests.
Our rule is that DS can only accept friend requests from people he knows in RL and if he's playing squads (where the system can automatically pair you with other unknown players) then he has to disconnect his mike and headphones so he can't hear or speak to them.

No. Very violent and addictive. Children start developing terrible habits after the begin paying video games.
