It's a good idea to have real knowledge about Poppy Playtime before taking action.
As Forbes.com says, "If you are a parent or guardian concerned about this, it’s important to understand the game before you delete it from children’s devices. Rather than a knee-jerk reaction, it’s a chance to talk to your child about the content and then make an informed decision about it with them."
Poppy Playtime is a scary game whose intent is to be disturbing. It has been rated as suitable for 13-year-olds by ESRB for violence and blood and for 12-year-olds by PEGI for moderate violence and horror.
"Jeez, it's like a Teddy for my son," says user @nicola_w_26." He takes it to bed every night."
"What about old nursery rhymes," asks reader @badassfrogqueen. "They are scary and morbid. Or Grimm's fairy tales? Come on."
Kids having acess to the Internet is dangerous alone, writes @aliciareyes522. "This app is not for kids, but nobody listens. Really people, to each their own."
