It’s 43% of 60% of US kids. So more like 25%. Still pretty bad.

Terrifying how when they grow up they will influence the gaming landscape to become even more hellish.

Ill go back to my games before 2008 now bye.

They probably won’t play games once they go to college. They are very concerned with popularity and being cool, and once playing games isn’t cool they will stop.

They don’t really care about video games as a genre anymore than they do about movies outside of Marvel films.

I stopped at consoles when they became another enshittified always online tool of theft.

I stick with pc, old consoles, or my old 360 as a new Gen console.

OK, must be nice? I don’t care about that. I just want to play games on my couch. PC gaming is a huge pain in the fucking ass so I stopped PC gaming like 5 years ago.

Good for you! I find modern consoles to be a cesspool of data theft and annoying logins that I dont want (in, Microsoft account for xbox), plus not owning any of my actual games is a red flag, as well as needing internet to even play a single player game.

However I get it for ease of use if youre already in that space. I also enjoy making things much harder than they need to be, hence my 15 year old cpu linux gaming pc I keep hobbling along!

If we’d have known this would happen then we could have killed the gig who came up with those armor and everyone involved in its conception and release.
