No you were just a judgmental person with no kids and a lack of imagination. Not every kid with an iPad is spoiled and/or has parents that offloaded the parenting to a screen.
It is wild how comfortable people are judging parents based off a myriad of assumptions all informed by like 4 seconds of seeing a kid.
It regularly has 10-20k concurrent players on steam despite being 8 years old. Almost 50,000 after the most recent update.
People are clearly not as underwhelmed as you think. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean your opinion is the dominant one.
I completely agree that the game is a lot of breath and not a whole lot of depth in many respects, but that really doesn’t change anything. It clearly pleased a lot of people. Go see the reviews if you doubt me.
