15 Facts About Gaming In 2015 That’ll Blow Your Mind

9. 63% Of Parents Say Video Games Are A Positive Influence

We've come a long way since the outraged 90s landscape where Marilyn Manson and Mortal Kombat seemed to join hand-in-hand, leading the 'impressionable youth' into the Gates of Hell, as now not only do 94% of parents say they actively take note of what their children are playing, but 85% think champion it as "fun for the family".

Sadly, only 54% say they enjoy the game as much as their kid does (but who above 10 loses their mind over Disney Infinity as much as a child could?

On second thought, don't answer that, but 75% get involved because they're asked, another 75% note it's a great way to bond, and 58% are actually using it to monitor what's being played, the sneaky Solid Snake wannabes.
