Design risks

0.22

The primary risks are related to potential for extended play due to the open-ended nature of simulation games, though without aggressive compulsion-loop design, this is a lower concern. Minimal social risks in online co-op.

Regulatory design checks · DSA — Not yet assessed·GDPR-K — Not yet assessed·ODDS — Assessed: meets criteria

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is Farming Simulator 19 safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Farming Simulator 19 a rating of 66/100. It offers solid benefits but needs parental guidance on the risks.

How long should kids play Farming Simulator 19?

Our session recommendation for Farming Simulator 19 is up to 90 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.

What are the main risks of Farming Simulator 19?

The primary risks are related to potential for extended play due to the open-ended nature of simulation games, though without aggressive compulsion-loop design, this is a lower concern. Minimal social risks in online co-op.
