    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?

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

              Tangential point: these games always felt like Legos but without the complexity involved with rotating and making things fit IRL, so I'd rather get my kids Legos. I guess these games are free for anyone who knows how to use a PC/their children, so it's way more accessible, but Insha'Allah I'll be financially blessed enough to buy the real deal.

                      Groomers not so much, maybe depends on the games they play. But my kid did get scammed, that was a learning moment.

                        As a 30 y/o myself, it feels like they’re still playing those games from 4 years ago: Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Brawlstars. But they watch much, MUCH more AI Slob

                        Attention span is so, so short now. Caught my kid playing Fortnite, then alt-tab to YouTube Shorts when they got killed. For like 10 seconds of downtime to respawn. Atrocious!

                          Maybe not a bad thing though. Rather learn to be cautious with "worthless" digital items and be less likely to get scammed later on

                            Absolutely, this wasn't the worst objectively. But the abuse of trust hits them hard nonetheless

                              That doesn't justify exposing him to pedos.

                                They're getting bugs and keeping em in matchboxes, making them get on sticks and fight each other like Pokémon. It's brutal out there man, kids these days are tougher than us

                                  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

                                  My daughter was showing me some of the games-within-games on Minecraft servers. It's insane what people have made. And now Fortnite has racing!?

                                    Imagine them being able to play cs and go a whole round after dying instantly to a one tap... kids definitely couldn't handle it
