There are varying  assessments of the creative benefits of such games, as well as the  harmful habits and various dangers. I would like to receive more  opinions on parents' approaches and concerns. We will try to make an  appropriate decision to mitigate such risks within our competence, as  part of our work aimed at creating a safer digital environment for  children. Please write about your concerns and, in general, comments  in the comments section. Based on the feedback received, we plan to  organize a meeting and conduct a broader discussion with the  participation of our colleagues from various departments, parents,  and specialists," the Minister noted.
