  • Roblox says it paid out $1.5B to game creators in 2025 and the top 1,000 earned $1.3M on average; 50%+ of creators list high school as their highest education

  • The voice chat isn’t activated on my kids account as hés clearly too young. I didn’t have anything to do to disable it, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable if he wasn’t playing Roblox in the luving room where I can see what hés playing.

    Also he loves it when I watch him play so we get to share and discuss a lot about the games he plays.

    I guess Roblox is a game where you have to have good parenting behind.

  • My son plays a lot of Roblox (1 hour a day at my place , way more with his mom).

    At first I had a really bad impression about it because I thought it was just another microtransaction hell with pedophiles lurking around.

    In the end, hés not really spending money and there are some pretty good and different games on the platform.

    I also appreciate the fact that Roblox made him accept that you can play graphically simple games and have fun on cheap hardware.

    So, while I’d prefer if he only played single player games on Linux or Playstation like me, I think Roblox is better than what people are saying.

    I’m not saying it’s good for the game industry or consumer, but it’s almost better than an Nba 2k with its constant microtransactions despite paying for the game already..

  • Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades

    Jump

  • Yeah I know. What I wanted to say is that it would be an incentive to buy one (and convert it to Linux) if they were losing money on every unit.

    Jump

  • That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.

    To be honest, my Linux daily driver is a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and it has served me well for the last 6 years.

    Still it’s not what I’d get if I had to choose again.

    So if I have to upgrade from my Steam Deck/Playstation 5 gaming combo, it’s probably be a Steam Machine, even if it’s way less poweful than Helix.

  • It’s a great game despite EA being behind it. I enjoyed the first one better, but I’m looking forward to the third installment.

  • New Star GP. I gave it to my son but ended up playing it way more than him as it’s a quite complex game for an arcade racer.

    Still, I’m trying to find other games to divert him from Fortnite and Roblox 😅

  • Why isn't there a Windows community? Is Linux winning?

    Jump

  • While I agree that they aren’t likely to be on Lemmy, even outside of Lemmy, I’ve never met one of them.

    I just know people who don’t know there is something else.

    Still it’s good for me to have to use (a debloated version) Windows at work, as it allows me to still know how to deal with it.

  • Why isn't there a Windows community? Is Linux winning?

    Jump

  • I guess I’m not techie enough to meet these people as I’m just talking to windows end users.

  • Why isn't there a Windows community? Is Linux winning?

    Jump

  • I guess because no one is passionate about it. It’s just something people are using because it came with their computer.

    Here people are almost only talking badly about it. It’s not a good product but I wonder if it’s as bad as people on Lemmy make it sound.

    Still I don’t want to waste time away from Linux to discover it by myself.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • Sounds crazy to me that people aren’t shutting down their computers when not using them. For me it’s like turning off the light off in a room you’re leaving. I can still hear the voice of my mum giving me a lecture about not wasting energy and I’m thankful for this.

    It’s such a small gesture and it can already improve your carbon footprint a tiny bit.

    The only exception is when I’m downloading a game or backing up my computer.

  • Kwin workspace rules not working and Evolution not remembering passwords in KDE

    Jump

  • Oh thanks for the alt + F3 tip as it worked for OnlyOffice.

    Now I just have to solve the issues with Evolution, so its keyring issue and the fact that it deletes the kWin rule every time.

  • EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko

    Jump

  • Add Mass Effect, Dead Space and Star Wars Jedi series..

    But yeah I wish all of these were DRM free, without any online connection and on GOG.

  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

    Jump

  • While I understand the pain of someone having no hardware right now, I think you should still be able to get an old gaming PC or an old Playstation 4 to enjoy games for cheap.

    In fact, almost everyone has something like this lying around..

    While it means running old AAA or lower demanding current games, it’s still great gaming time.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • You haven’t read my comment I guess.

    I have a lot of games that I bought (mostly for max CHF 20.-, so max 25$), but they are only playing free live service games.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • I have kids and I have a huge library of games on Playstation and PC. What are they playing?

    Fortnite and Roblox instead, which they could play for free if they didn’t want to get cool skins. So, no, games aren’t as expensive for kids as they used to be, except if they waste a lot of money in predatory schemes in games where they could play for free and just 1-2 things to support the devs.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • The price of new games isn’t a problem for me as they are still cheaper than what they were when I was a kid. In my country Switzerland, an expensive new game is stll less than CHF100.- when some Nes games were CHF120.- thirty years ago. Back in the Playstation 1 era games were around CHF89.- and now most Playstation 5 games are around CHF79.-.

    And that’s not taking inflation into account!

    Gaming is one of the few things which has become cheaper in my lifetime, especially now that I get a lot of old games on my Steam Deck and only racing sims on my Playstation 5.

    For me the problem is that you can pay such an amount and still be subject to many popups begging for your money (microtransactions) or DRM’s (always online or others).

    Or that, thanks to digital games, you’ll soon not be able to resell an expensive game that you didn’t enjoy enough to keep.

    And also the fact that games aren’t really prettier than 10 years ago but that you still need better hardware to play them.

    I think game companies really need to have a look at why their games are becoming so expensive, because I don’t think it’s because they are treating their employees better.

  • Steam added the option to attach hardware specs when writing or updating a Steam User Review

    Jump

  • That’s great and depending on how it’s made, maybe Proton DB isn’t gonna be necessary for Linux gamers anymore.

    Although, I wouldn’t want Steam to become even more powerful this way compared to something like GOG.
