Anti-Clash of Clans Suporters
While the players are completely against this campaign, there are still thousands of concerned citizens who supports the said campaign. Most of them are concerned parents with a son or daughter who’s already addicted to this game. Some parents are pissed off because of their children always asking to borrow their credit cards to purchase gems. To further increase the scope of the movement, they created a facebook group named “Parents against Clash of Clans PH”, and they already have a whooping 154,000 members as of writing this article. But some parents may have crossed the line by limiting the freedom of their children, such as the screenshot below where a parent disconnected the internet so as to prevent his son from playing the game.

For those who are not aware, Internet Access is now a basic human rights according to the United Nations, which means it’s as important as food and water now.
The Experts
According to Mr. Bao Loon, a Malaysia-based IT Expert, the gameplay of Clash of Clans has several benefits and downsides. The strategic nature of this game and the “Clan” features promotes intensive cooperation among players, but the existence and power of gems in the game might force children to spend too much money just to win. He also noted that smartphones will be used almost everytime just to raid, train and upgrade which means the battery life of your smartphones are always compromised.
Going back to the topic,Mr. Bao Loon said that these parents might be exaggerating this event, it’s normal for someone to be addicted to this kind of games, but for someone to reduce their productivity and social life is already a bit extreme. He said that it’s possible that they are experiencing an event called ‘observer-expectancy effect’ where someone who wants to prove something will try to find evidence even if it doesn’t exist (examples are the constellations or backmasked songs).
Legal
A Congressman who doesn’t want his name to be publicized yet is already thinking to support the cause, he insists that if the campaign could gather a million signatures then he himself will push a bill that will ultimately ban strategy games in the Philippines. The campaign already raised more than 500,000 signatures and counting as of this very moment.
