It's also possible they simply can't afford better games,

But however you want to approach this, the main thing is to kinda step back and verify if your outrage is pointed in the right direction
"but they're playing shit! They're swimming in sewage!" - yes they are, it's bad
"they should be playing BETTER GAMES!" - no, they don't care about our nerd shit

Or if you'd like a slightly more biz-brained take, instead of looking at this comparatively in an absolute sense, look at this as percentage of users, then look at how a not-insignificant fraction of the Roblox users will, likely, age out into the Steam or similar columns.
That's your top-of-funnel

Is Roblox more popular than Steam? Sure. Does that mean anything? No, not really.
Look at the vertical axis label.
There are entire worlds in every single one of these verticals that entire varied ecosystems develop and frolic within
Only empty suits give a shit about somehow owning ALL of these

This is a bit like doing a graph of people who read romance fiction and people who read scifi with a top line HOW CAN WE GET THESE ROMANCE PEOPLE TO LIKE SPACESHIPS and like

Eh, ok. So. Mobile games have, for a long time, accepted that there's a massive audience out there who is simply not interested in playing Steam games. You get some conversion as they age into bands, but they're just very different cohorts being grouped on graphs by biz-brained types.
This is that.

You have excellent taste in trash
Love how there's this falloff where the more of a film buff you are, the more you just become a racoon digging through trash bins for treats

![Wikipedia entry for dinkus
In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g. ∗ ∗ ∗ or • • • . The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c. 1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zcfjzyocp6kapg6jc4eacok/bafkreiat5pvuu2mdh5bauxt7uxlo4rdf6bue3exmrmskgi5aycbemv5dyq@jpeg)

People need to understand this is one of the primary reasons corporations & politicians have been pushing for digital identification to be required to use many apps & websites. It was never about the safety of children & is solely based on targeting people. Digital ID’s are NOT a good thing at all.

Like, on the really expressive "Live to-oooo tomorrow", in the gap between Live and To, you can clearly hear their throat make a noise I can only describe as a 4-cylinder Honda panicking when you hit the highway
You can't fake that, someone just put the hammer down and that voice box is bouta GO

Also I feel it'd be downright rude Not to give Reece a chance to talk about the intersection of musicals and VA, heh
