    I’m in the “Z-lennial” group, it’s mostly just the cost for me. Why would I spend $20 on 2 drinks at a bar when I can get a 12 pack for $16 and play terraria with my friends?

      There’s also the fact that games and Internet are a social option for your generation at all. Previous generations didn’t even have that option the same way. Even as a millennial it wasn’t nearly as accessible as it is now.

        For sure. My 8yr old plays with his friends on FaceTime and Roblox as soon as he gets up. In the winter online play is probably 75% of how they play. When the weather is better that changes to 25%.

          Yeah there were options but they were not convenient or mainstream. When I was a kid I played online games with friends, but that involved calling them on a land line phone, logging into the Internet, which meant turning off your house phone for most people without dual phonelines, and no video call and text chat only.

      If you’re doing it right you should only drink water inside the club.
