HCM City proposes to ban online games

When I was in Mathayom, I used to play computer games a lot. However, now, I know explicitly that playing games for a long time causes bad effect not only on my education but on my health as well. In Vietnam, the problem about young game additions has increased. Therefore their government has to take action in order to ban some of the games.

Many online game businesses cause a bad effect to Vietnam society. Hence, the Government orders the Ministry of Information and Communications to make public standards and rates the violence level of online games, which is based on these rules.

The ministry has to reconsider many licensed online games if those games are related violence, gambling or pornography. Moreover, any new games suppose to be evaluated strictly.

In addition, the Ministry asks the government to ban on online games advertisement in the same way as banning advertisement associating to alcoholic beverages and tobacco.

Another policy to control and ban games online is that government should let localities that have several game players. For instance, HCM City and other big cities will join the council for appraising the content of new online games. 14 companies, previously, asked by the government to self-assess the violence level in their games.

The department director Le Manh Ha Communications doesn’t set standards to classify violence level in online games; his department is to build its own standards to control online games in HCM City ,and departmant will also evaluate these 65 games itself depending on on the violence level in each game.

Out wardly, I think it is good that Vietnam government bans and sets the level of the game ,but in wardly,

I can perceive what the gamers feel if their be loved game has to be banned ,and they can not play those games anymore since I am the one who loves to play games so much.
