Nah, zoomers went through the whole indie horror game gauntlet, Minecraft, terraria, etc.

Edit Addendum: Also, don't forget about games like Friday Night Funkin and the plethora of mods that it spawned. The Five Nights at Freddy's fandom was basically a cult at some point and still memed. Cuphead was a big enough phenomenon to get it's own animated series. Stardew Valley is another game that will doubtless have influence beyond it's years. Motherfucking Undertale, sans memes, etc. VA-11 HALL-A was pretty popular for a while too. Don't forget about Among Us. Lethal Company is still getting updates. SCP Secret Laboratory is another one people forget about, but is still a game with a dedicated player base. Kenshi...oh man great game released in 2018. Fucking Persona 5 and Metaphor ReFantaszio, great games. MiSide is a new game, a horror game that doubtless has a small yet dedicated following. No Man's Sky is great, especially after they fixed it. Many Gen-Z doubtless remember Subnautica. Ultrakill is something that is quite special.

You may be right among us, lethal company, 5 nights, generation, they were raised by those types of games, not what we had, theres a fat difference still, but they definitely had variety, im not saying they didnt, if my friends and I had modern roblox/fortnite growing up we wouldve exclauively played that too, we only played what we could all play together so it would be the cod/sports game we all bought that year, ocassionally trying mid ftp titles like dcuo

Always gonna be ppl who branch out and those that dont, overall they got more variety for free than we did

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago
