Gamer parents are most concerned with multiplayer games, UGC

A new study from WebPurify shows that gamers turned parents are less concerned with the content of games compared to the risks posed by other players and user-generated content. UGC (44%), inappropriate interactions in multiplayer games (41%) and interactions with strangers (40%) were ranked as top concerns.

The study surveyed 1,008 U.S. gamers who are parents to kids that also play video games. As a result, the surveyed parents are familiar with risks to young gamers. Additionally, it highlights how games have evolved across generations.
