OXM UK: "Bethesda aims to have its cake and eat it, throwing players the keys but requiring that they heed direction at intervals - you won't get to fight dragons, for instance, unless you complete early quests at Riverwood and Whiterun. In its heart of hearts, Skyrim is still a story-led role-player, an experience on rails. The recent introduction of a completely optional endgame aside, Minecraft has no such investment in choreography or story-telling. It's game for players, where the designer's role is to add more stuff to play with, then get the hell out of the way."
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
