Gamers will be warned about cruelty and violence in digital content

Earlier, on February 27, it was reported that mostly young people (18-24 years old) are interested in gaming purchases. Thus, 58% of respondents of this age have paid at least once, according to RuStore data. They could potentially spend 2,294 rubles a month on mobile games, which is almost twice as much as Russians aged 25-34. The generation of 35-44 years old is least willing to spend; their potential expenses amount to 1104 rubles per month.

Before that, on February 5, psychologist Irina Smolyarchuk told Izvestia that people with a high organization of mental regulation are able to cope with their emotional stresses through games. At the same time, if a person is in a situation of severe distress, he defends himself by "running away into the game" and thus, on the contrary, aggravates the situation.
