This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

the devs have pursued every bad idea and settled on 'child labor and exposing kids to fucked up shit seems profitable' so yeeeeeahh.... the game industry looks at them and hangs their head in shame
To be clear, the “game industry” has no shame so this is inaccurate. In fact, there are a few companies trying to recreate their success.
I can only speak of the dev scene where I live, but I know many many devs who have had the opportunity to work for Roblox and did not because of their rep. I know exactly one who did go to work for them, and that person was... kinda a dick.
I do not see any local companies trying to emulate the child labor shit, but any time something is successful assholes will try to copy it. hopefully they lose their shirts in the process.
Those people that made Mind’s Eye were the big example I’m thinking of.
BeamNG is a little like it too.
not familiar with either product, but thanks for the tip. ugh.
