Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases
Young zoomers just can't afford video games anymore. According to the Wall Street Journal, Gen Z is spending far less on gaming.

I think SOME of it has to do with AAA being dogshit, but I think a lot of it is actually that they just play roblox. I have been told "why would I buy peak when roblox has this mountain climbing game for free?"
You're thinking of Gen Alpha. GenZ was born starting '97, most of us are closer to 30 than 13, they don't play Roblox or know what that is. All they know is eat hot chip and twerk and cry for a world that never was yet feels was taken from us while watching old vine compilations and being able to recite them word for word with impressive if slightly concerning accuracy.
Gen Z sure do know about Roblox (as in heard of it).
It's just that most either play(ed) Minecraft or never were fond of those games in general
Oh ofc we heard of it, but as I said, I don't think I, nor the folks I know actually know what it really is, as in: what's it about or what you do in the game, or if it's a social thing and not a game etc etc.
I get what you're saying, and Roblox's grasp definitely gets worse on gen alpha and the younger you get, but that quote in my og comment came from a 26 year old playing with another 26 year old and a 27 year old. Gen Z for sure plays roblox
That's...wild. No one in my 27 year old age group of friends knows what Roblox really even is or has ever touched it.
