Obviously I don’t know your personal situation, but they can’t actually force you to play Roblox. You’re allowed to say no.
Mainly I’m bringing up Fortnite and Roblox all these years later, not because I think they are bad games but because their monetization strategies have negatively influenced the gaming disasters that have tried to copy them. I don’t think if you strip Fortnite down to its mechanics that it is bad, I think it’s quite good just not for me.
Multiplayer games are nearly unplayable in 2025. And I just don’t have the free time I had back then. So I get frustrated that we wait more than a decade for good games from established studios and we don’t really get many new IPs.
I fundamentally disagree with your take that only a couple games of 1998 still hold up but I think we can agree to disagree there since I think that’s a matter of taste.
Not to be contrarian, because I think you’re making some good points, but Split Fiction came out less than two months ago.
I’m also sinking hundreds of hours into Ravenswatch, which I don’t hear anyone talking about, but it’s incredible.
Other than those, I also have a hard time finding games to play multiplayer, but I think maybe that’s a problem with you and me and not with gaming. Like I see people having a ton of fun with Marvel Rivals, and I wish I could get into it, but I can’t.
Thankfully it looks like the industry is moving away from microtransactions and live service games, or at least they’re starting to learn that there’s a time and a place for those things.
