TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoi have four newphews. they only play minecraft, robolox, and fortnite. they very rarely try other games but have 1000s of hours in those.
The power of social pressure.
Roblox being free was its main attraction back when it was new. It was super easy for a kid to get their school friends to join in and play, so growth was very organic. Having the variety of player made games experiences ensured they wouldn’t feel the need to leave to play something different.
Roblox is like a YouTube-style gaming platform with its own game engine. There are some really cool projects on there if you know what to look for!

Minecraft isnt a game. Its a lifestyle.

It was nice while it lasted. Microsoft, a corporation I didnt give money for my copy of minecraft, stole my copy from me.

i played it for like a few months in 2009 and never touched it again. it was a novelty but the novelty wore off really fast and i was bored once i got diamonds.
never understood why people like it so much.

Oh boy. You have not seen what its become. There’s literally chemistry involved now. It can be as complex or simple as you make it!
And im old, but I still enjoy it. Its more fun with a friend’s server. I dont enjoy the grind, but I like to play to level up and build some bases and try to kill the hard mobs. Eventually it becomes a grind and we drop it for a year and then come back and start it up again.
There’s farming, mining, building, enchanting, fjghtng…it really has it all. Circuits too if youre into that, im not.

Me: in a pile of sixteen different LEGO sets, mixing and matching to create an unholy abomination
My Dad: “It’s all he does all day, doesn’t want to try anything new.”
