Don’t want to admit to myself that I’m getting older but it is crazy to think people *grew up* with Minecraft 🙁
I grew up with 8 bit resolution games. It spurred a whole nother imagination perspective.
Don’t shit on kids, period.
But do make fun of them as much as you want, because kids are lovely but stupid.
Glad I didn’t grow up with games full of microtransaction
This is very fair however I still think recent titles use more exploitative practices such as microtrasactions to abuse the fact that their playerbase is young and impressionable
Plenty of kids are still growing up with minecraft not a thing of the past
I grew up with monkey island and Duke nukem 3d 😂
I use to play Zmud, any know any good retirement communities?
Can I get any Phantasy Star Representation?!
If it’s not pong it’s crap.
Enjoy, sure. But the rise of “enter through the gift shop” games that obfuscate the costs of things while agressively marketing to kids is kind of a problem.
Was playing Colecovision when it was current, and currently play Fortnite with all 3 kids AND my wife. Same house squads matches are fun. Be open to things. There’s a ton of fan service in Fortnite for us older gamers. Would love to see an A-Team Collab w Mr. T and the boys.
Lmao I was just thinking about how old this person must be to have grown up on Minecraft. PS1 gang baby. Spyro til I die
Even Minecraft was hated by many people. In 2025 probably Fortnite community would say “Fortnite is good and I am glad I grew up playing it but this game is overrated.” And the list continues over and over….
Most of the time people shit on kids because they are toxic in these games not because they play or like those games.
i am speaking just for myself here but i think a lot of people share my sentiments.
When we make memes like “So glad I grew up playing this, and not this” We arent shitting on the kids for what they play, we shit on the game devs who are now treating their players like milk cows. Im glad i grew up playing COD4 and then BF:BC and not COD vanguard and 2042 because one is a art made with passion, the other is a product made to maximize profit. Not because i feel superior to the children now who might enjoy games that I don’t.
Exactly! Let people enjoy things, and don’t be a shitter, especially to kids.
Liking one game when I was younger and eventually branching off has made me like so many games… I’m now in an endless loop of destiny 2
People forget that minecraft kids were considered cringe for a long time
In a few years we’re gonna start seeing “So glad I grew up with Fortnite instead of ___” memes and I’m not sure I’m emotionally prepared for that.
I grew up on mayonnaise sandwiches
I grew up with playing Tank on Atari.
The problem isn’t the game itself. The problem is microtransactions and the psychological damage it’s causing. Kids get bullied for not having the latest skins etc. It’s horrible.

Both of these categories are freaking kids. I grew up with an o.g. GameBoy, playing a few seconds at a time between the street lights in the back seat of the car.
Hearing people say they grew up with Minecraft makes me feel so damn old.
I still remember hearing about it for the first time on the TF2 blog.
Many gaming communities have a problem of hating on people who are different than them.
The fact that minecraft is the new floor for gaming makes me feel old, I remember when snes was the “I grew up with this” item.
When I was a kid, I played a lot of games that were “simple.” I played a lot of games that were “dumb.” I played a lot of games that my parents and adults didn’t “get.” I loved them all because I was gaming! We should be connecting through our passions; not gatekeeping to feel superior.
Man, People getting Nostalgic about Minecraft REALLY makes me feel old. We all didn’t grow up on renting games from blockbuster for our SNES?
I always find it silly that people are like “Oh im glad I grew up with x and not *whats popular today*” like..I grew up in the 00s and it didn’t stop me watching stuff from the 70s and 80s
