Damn this one stings.

Instead of wanting a video game as a present.. They want a bunch of resources for the video game they already play.

And here i was assuming that with all the gamer parents, kids where going to be guided towards actually good games.

Kids want to play what their friends/community are playing.

There aren't 50% of gamer parents anyway.

Who are the parents of these kids ?? They clearly failed in life

What a fedora screeching nerd take.

THE KIDS WANT VIDEO GAMES! THE PARENTS ARE FAILURES!

Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️

More than half of US kids want to play more games with their parents, particularly children aged between 5 to 7 (73%).

Fucking ruined generation, awful parents, 🙄

Really? Your parents never bought you worthless junk meant to be throw away like fart putty or those rubber bubbles you blow up with a straw that barely work or packs of Pokémon cards or baseball cards?

I don’t think it should be up to the parents to tell the kids what’s valuable to them. If the kid wants a vbucks card over a game then you can tell them that’s why they didn’t get a new game.

(I do recognize that the current monetization models have ruined modern gaming which is why I only play games that are 15 years old or older)

Probably the same parents that buy their kids GTA and then complain games are too violent. They just don't care that much to look into what their kids like.

Crazy stuff. Just brings to mind how many kids are playing fortnite and the like. A lot probably just goes onto skins

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Yeah that's insanely fucked.
