delete fortnite game completely from the uk

What the petition asks
some suggestions : create certain restrictions, make fortnite completely unavailable in the uk, make the prices higher so children are less likely to buy it, make the age restriction 16+ etc.
children nowadays are so consumed with fortnite as its so addictive that they are missing out on social interactions, social development and their childhood. many children are less focused on their school work and their future and are instead focused on a violent game that makes them develop a more angry and out of control behaviour as they break things and scream out of anger of losing in the game. something needs to be done to encourage these children that there is more to life than this.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Children's use of video games is a matter for them and their parents, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition calling for a review of the impact of video games on children's development, if that is something you'd like to happen.
