Concise explanations about online gaming safety featuring illustrations
Bandai Namco Entertainment has created and published an Online Game Safety Guide that shares important information that parents should be aware of and understand, so that their children can use content provided by the Bandai Namco Group more safely and securely.
Increasing number of underage users amid the rising popularity of online games
Currently, online games are widely used by both adults and children, and the number of underage users is increasing. As a result, children incurring high charges or leaking personal information have become social issues in recent years. To prevent these issues, there is an increasing need for parents to manage and understand their children’s online activities.
Published a guide for parents and children to enjoy online gaming while knowing the rules
In December 2022, Bandai Namco Entertainment released its Online Game Safety Guide on its official website. Concisely written and incorporating manga, with all kanji characters accompanied by furigana, the guide is easy to read even for lower elementary school students. We also introduce the guide within our online games, encouraging users to read it in detail.
In addition, we have also released a guide for parents and guardians entitled Online Game Safety Guide (available in Japanese only). The guide introduces examples of problems and explains cautions to be aware of.
Facilitating communication between children and parents for a safer and secure online gaming experience
These guides are designed to facilitate communication between children and parents. We will continue to engage in various educational activities to ensure that our game titles can be used safely and securely.
