As a long time gamer, playing Roblox with my niece made me feel old for the first time. I have no idea why the hell kids play that game so much outside of the social media aspect with their friends.
It really seems like they are tapping into the addictions of children. I’ve wasted money on game DLC before, but the amount of crap kids buy on Roblox is insane. I don’t think parents really know what they are giving them when they buy gift cards for it. If it makes them happy, okay fine, but I really think it’s something psychological that the company is taking advantage of.
Rant over. I agree with everyone else. Something is about to go down. I hope they all take severance and leave. Three days is still better than what I get… which is like 20 WFH days a year… but ultimatums are never a good sign.
Gaming these days, at least multiplayer or those “games as a service” games, just seems so shitty. With all of the “gacha” aspects of lootboxes, or battle passes where you have to pay to play the game, or just plain predatory psychology manipulation to get you to buy random stuff… Games nowadays feel like you’re basically working a second job, or you can pay money so that you don’t have to work the second job because it’s not fun.
My kids play it. 9 and 11. I’ve played it. I’ve spent money in it. It’s the amount of content. The games are actually really good.
And it’s super easy to make something and just send it to the world.
As a developer I used chatgpt and it just spits out whole games.
Edit: Some games are really good. Some games are crap.
