Disappointing to see EA still up there.

And Roblox. Aren't they just using kids as free ways to create content while enabling grooming.

Ya a lot of pedos out there. They're the ones pending the money. Not kids.

Oh shit and I thought it was just a kid's game builder...

Frankly I dislike something about Nintendo games in general. Maybe you're like me. I can't bring myself to appreciate any of those luigi donkey karts, they have such a childish vibe and aesthetic

I hadn't realized just how far Ubisoft had fallen. Amazing.

I'll admit I was at first surprised by how low Paradox is on the list. But thinking about it for more than a second I realized that Paradox games are somewhat niche. Not many regular people want to play a spreasheet simulator with graphics like my weird self.

WTF is Roblox?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 9 points 10 months ago

Cancer basically

My understanding is that it's basically Garry's Mod. It's a platform where you can host your own server and create your own game and have other people join and play those games with you.

Valve is not publicly traded.

In game micro transactions, all kids play Roblox and most games in Roblox require kids to spend money to partake in the activities of the server. And the currency is their own robux, which goes to the developers who made the game-modds.Roblox by it self is not a game, more of a platform to make games.

The developers can then withdraw their robux to real corrency but they take a 40% fee for that.

I'm not well vested in Roblox at all, but I know teachers and people who have middle aged kids, all of them are playing Roblox (the kids that is). On their ipads or computers, and parents buy them in-game currency to basically shut them up.

Take this with a huge grain of salt, because I'm going on hear-say, but that is the gist of it. Kids buy robux to play Roblox.

Ubisoft hopefully can't ruin anything anymore. Yes it's been almost 20year I am still salty about silent hunter 5.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

So far I'm enjoying U-Boat. Seems to be the spiritual successor to Silent Hunter 3...which I refuse to uninstall.
