  Having the possibility to setup a server allowed me to setup one for my sons and I. I’d rather have that then them going online…

      Both because it’s more safe and secure. Plus I have very fond memories of LAN parties and without private servers and local multiplayer kids won’t be able to experience that :(

        Don’t worry, they’ll still be able to drink a bunch of cough syrup and think they’re really hanging out chatting with random people on forums and Pink Floyd and Abe Lincoln, and then get genuinely lost in a game for what seems like eternity but can only ever be vaguely recalled later.

    That was kind of my point? That just because it’s “dangerous” for children doesn’t justify banning it wholesale. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.
