Roblox is a huge platform with lots of game options. You may enjoy some over others, and they are all free with optional purchases.

My kids love Roblox, and there are quite a few games that I enjoy as well. Not as much as my standard games, but enough to sit through and play for an hour or two here and there.

Emulation absolutely has an effect, it lowers the amount of people buying the game to play it. Why spend hard earned money on ancient, dying hardware when you can just emulate it for much cheaper and get a (subjectively) better experience? Even for those who dont know or care about those options, virtual console is emulation, and so is xbox 360 and xbox 2001 gameplay on ones and series xboxes. Even if these people's purchase habits don't affect demand, there are more old pieces of hardware in circulation simply because emulation means people can sell old hardware without losing the ability to play the old games they want to play occasionally.

Is there a big game coming along the horizon relatively soon or generally this year that you’re excited about?

That’s what happens to me.

My twin boys who are 5 just started heavily getting into the game. Really gaming in general. Never heard of this game before, but it looked up their alley.

A lot of “don’t hurt my brother!” “I gotchu bro” “I’m dead! Why aren’t you saving me!”

It’s a blast living it through them. I gotta do most of the min/maxing, but most of the time instead proficiency, they’d rather have the flashy abilities even if borderline useless.

Step away, enjoy life and come back when you feel like it.

You need to stop making video games your "main thing" in life if you want to have a happy one.

No, that's just what happens if you're not allowed to consume any content (movies, books, games) other than 'Disney or cartoons' until you are 18 years old and mature enough to deal with the dark, dark subject matter that is Minecraft Dungeons.
