I'm not a gaming stats expert but if they don't track the mobile and f2p game spend with the general gaming spend, then that's kind of a bogus stat to draw the article's conclusion from. Most "mobile gaming" people I know spend more money on those games than I do on Steam with an incredibly long backlog of games I'll never play.

It's actually less boring now that they use a pitch clock to speed things up. Some people hate it, but I don't usually want to be stuck at a baseball game for 5 hours because the pitchers are having a bro-off. My team also sucks lol.

They're spending their time scrolling. The GenZ equivalent of television. GenZ is also getting older. The median age is over college graduate age. They're simply working more or doing other things besides video games. Not everyone is a Paradox gamer. I'm sure the GenZ Paradox gamers, PC gamers, and FPS/sports enthusiasts are all still buying the same games. But the people growing out of it might buy 1-2 per year and play ~10 hrs per month. The "youngest GenZ" is about 13 years old now.

- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 3 weeks ago:
Because they make 2-5% on the transaction so they'd be making money on literal incest games. If Steam wanted to defend the incest games, they could make an alternative payment pathway that excluded the card system, but they probably also want the incest games gone.

Reddit has been meme slop since the IPO (and earlier) but it's still chugging along with fools buying outfits for their little reddit alien thing
