Gaming for normies is a social thing, they heavily favor multiplayer games they can play with their friends over single-player experiences. This is why the highest selling games every year are always things like CoD and NBA 2K, and why the overall most popular game currently is Fortnite.
My helicopter curroid parents never allowed me to touch M-rated games as a child, I had to wait till I was 14 to play them. This effectively gatekept me out of comp. games in general, since I was never able to get into shooters for this reason. I guess I could’ve tried playing sports games like 2K and Madden, but those have always looked incredibly boring to me. By the time I was finally allowed to play comp. shooters, the skill gap between my peers and I was already insurmountable.
I honestly think the ESRB and MPA ratings boards should be abolished or at least massively overhauled. We live in the internet age now – upon hitting puberty, kids can and will seek out adult content; there’s no real way to stop them. Most kids are going to view/play movies or games intended for adults anyway, all these boards and the establishments that adhere to their guidelines do is create another hindrance for helicopter parentscels in having a social life.
But yeah, considering that this thread looks like the first on this topic, it seems I’m likely an outlier on this forum as well Brutal shit
