Roblox and Minecraft players are less likely to play traditional AAA video games

SMRTR summary

Roblox players are only 0.4 times as likely to play console games like Monster Hunter Wilds compared to average players, suggesting these gaming communities operate in separate ecosystems. This trend raises questions about the gaming industry's future as younger players may permanently favor free-to-play experiences over expensive AAA titles.
