Fortnite and warzone

These two games are consistently up there with the most played console games and have been for years.

Will anything knock them off their perch in the next 10 years? (Yes I know its because they are free)

I played Fortnite once with my young nephew. Absolute rubbish but its what the young gamers are playing i suppose and they have the time.
On a similar topic, I read an article in the Guardian about Roblox. Blimey. Having never played it I had no idea what it entailed. Sounds wild, might have to download it and try and upset this journalist a little more

My chilling week on Roblox: sexually assaulted and shat on as a child avatar roaming the online world

In seven days my young alter ego is cyberbullied and attacked while exploring clubs, casinos and horror games, all with parental controls in place. Is the platform safe for children – or an ‘X-rated paedophile hellscape’?

Terrible article but wow anyway. I had no idea what Roblox was. Guess I’ll just keep shooting people in the head.

They each fill 2 facets of the point and shoot genre and do it reasonably well. Fortnite - yeah, it’s rubbish if your expecting realistic, but at the same time its not trying to be, instead its more light hearted fun. Lots of changes with maps, characters and game modes … it’s an easy pick up and play game which can be done with friends. Will it be around in 10 years … likely yes, as it’s more a platform ( like Roblox ) its evolving into.
