i got surprised when i saw you only had 200 subs after finishing this video. legit you are underrated. i love how you approach things in this documentary. i hope you get the much attention you need man!
For sure that's true to some extent, but auto rolling is still a way for the creators to keep players playing the game, leading to them profiting from players who are afk, so it's not much better than no auto roll
Well it makes sense the Devs do need money from their game because even tho this game looks simple it takes a lot of work and time like all games and letting people afk is their way of earning the money they need
I do agree, devs do need to make money, my issue is that, as I stated, these games are unethical in my opinion and even with auto rolling, it's still basically gambling for children. But I do see what you mean, and you aren't wrong, it's just not the morally right way of doing it in my opinion
This an amazing video it was not how I expected it to be, but it was better. The way you explain the psychology behind it makes it easy to understand and the philosophy that ties it all together.
i dont understand how people will hate on real games when theres a single code that rolls a random number but when the entire game is just doing absolutely nothing but watching random numbers roll its completely fine and a good game
Thank you very much for this enjoyable video. I too have been recently hit with the realization of just how fast time passes, and reminding me of the idea of only spending time on doing something you love is something i really needed. Looking forward to seeing your future videos as well! :3
When Sol’s RNG first came out I played it for about 3 minutes than left because of how stupid I found it. I felt there was something off about those games. What’s even worse is not only is this gambling, but these are very very young children playing these games and their minds are be exploited just so they can “look cool” while the creator profits of them. This is a really great video discussing RNG games especially for a channel this size. To add, pet simulator 99 is a more guilty game out of all the games on the platform in terms of wasting time.
Roblox's player base being mainly young children is definitely one of the main issues with these games. Young children being exposed to these things leads to a lot of issues as they grow up, and some of my research for this video looked into some of these issues as well. Good to hear you enjoyed it!
Thats what all of you say, you jokingly say youre wasting your time and could be doing something better with your time other than selling your time to greedy corporations. Why? No one is stopping you from making a rational choice. Just stop, this will never be an excuse.
i think this is a good video! however, i think you should make an effort to cite sources when discussing things such as the theorized effects of dopamine and how humans evolved to be social. not that i disagree with these things, but that these sources should be easily accessible to your viewers. overall, a good essay and analysis of these games! while i do agree that they are obvious time wasters, if people enjoy playing them I don't think there's a problem. the same can be said for cookie clicker or any game really. thats why you have to be 21+ to gamble, and i think a similar age restriction should be put on rng games because obviously on roblox they have a large audience of people underage playing them, which is 100% exploitative
Thank you! I do agree, I should probably show my sources as the video goes along, so I will start doing that from here on out. As for this video, I'll list my sources in this comment and pin them in the pinned comment as well. I do also agree with the idea of if someone wants to play a game they enjoy, they should be allowed to. However, as I said in the video, exploitative games that are simply there to make a creator money is stepping beyond a moral boundary for me that I simply cannot agree with. But hey, that's just me, people can absolutely play what they want to. My main issue with gambling is, as I said, it's a huge time waster, but on top of that, being in a gambling rich environment, especially as a young child, can have detrimental effects on them which can cause a lot of major issues as they grow and develop (Sources 5 and 6). I enjoy having conversations like this and expanding on my videos like this in the comments. I did a lot more research than just these few sources, so if you want more, just ask!

Genuinely one of the greatest videos I’ve watched in recent times. The music and storytelling in this video are top tier. Hopefully you grow soon, and keep enjoying what you make :)
Hey everyone, thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy!

In this video you were inspired, the point of life is only worth because it has a end gets me, in think I realized time is a current topic on the channel, the Minecraft video really touches on nostalgia (the past) the Tower Wolrd video has in the future title itself, and now this one about time as a top, I really like this,your videos make me relax,i hate the yts that scream all the time,and you're the oppositive of it ❤
I just now stumbled on this documentary, I love it. Tower world and Voidel Tower will always be something I was always looking for and im looking out for more updates on Tower World. Btw Im questioned on your voice and your avatar, Voice sounds more male, but the avatar is more Female. It is making me confused.
Thanks! Tower World is definitely really exciting and I'm excited to see future updates on it as well! As for my voice and my avatar being different, it's because I'm non-binary. I just prefer female avatars in video games
I refuse to give up on Tower World. THIS is my dream project, and now that I've seen it come to life, I am eager to share it with others. I am grateful to JToH for being an inspiration and to all who believed in me. This game is my passion, and I'm determined to fulfill all my dreams for it. While Tower World may not yet have the 6-year extensive community content of JToH, we will get there with bold steps forward. We will introduce more unique mechanics, we will provide ways for the community to engage, we will have towers for enthusiasts seeking that dopamine rush, and we will ensure that there is plenty for everyone. This journey, this video, it has brought tears to my eyes, and I am so excited to make Tower World something truly special.
Question about Tower World: how hard is it and how hard will the future towers be? I’m bad at Tower games, but the game looks really good, so I’m thinking about getting it.
@tolstartheking I'm not sure about how hard future towers will be, but the current ones range from easy/medium up to probably difficult/challenging at hardest. It's totally worth a shot anyways, the towers are fun enough that you'll want to beat them no matter how hard they are
