What are kids playing today? What came after Minecraft/Roblox?
-
There have been numerous complaints about grooming and cyber bullying on Roblox. Instead of fixing the problem, the CEO suggests that we don't let our kids use Roblox.
So we took his advice, and my kid doesn't play Roblox.
I grew up on the internet and survived 42 years without running into a pedo... I have been online gaming for around 30 years.. I don't blame you for protecting your kids, I would too. But I think there's more fear than reality in a lot of these stories.

I don't know, but my kid won't be playing Roblox. That game has as many groomers and pedophiles as the Catholic Church.
And white supremacists.

Don't forget the child labor

And white supremacists.
Eww yuck. I haven't heard about those degenerates being on there.

I feel like I haven't heard anything from younger genz about games outside of 'streamer screamer' game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?

The current streamer fad game seems to be REPO; which looks like it's just a knock off of Lethal Company, tho IMO it is a bit cuter with the way player character's heads flap with your mic when you speak.

Have you considered that when you were a kid you would have been too clueless to notice them and when you're an adult they would be not very likely to out themselves to you?
You're likely not playing the same games they would be either if the target audience of what they're lurking in is aimed at children.

I have and like I said nothing has happened not to say it can't happen I just think that the risk is relatively low

You know, I would love for games to offer child only servers with the purpose of protecting children from pedophiles.
But also, for my selfish need to not have children ruining my games in first person shooters.

I’ve noticed a strong shift to brawl stars with one of my kids and their friend group.

The idea of degeneration also comes from white supremacy btw in case you didn't know. Its what the ubermemch is/was contrary to and what the whole alpha males thing is from.

Pokemon?
I tried getting a 10yo kid playing the emulated version of Fire Red on his tablet. He thought it was too slow and just went back to Roblox
-
it's also one of the most imaginative and creative gaming platforms ever created so there's that
You could argue the same for any game engine (Unity) or game with a big modding community (Garry's Mod). The big difference here is that Roblox aimed straight at children right from the start and also offers a no friction hosting of those creations

My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don't know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.
He mainly watches streamers who play those games
I hate this centralization of "all games in one", it's eerily similar to the centralization of the internet into the big social media sites.

Technically, being white is a degeneration from the basal human state. Our species evolved in Africa.
