There used to be some gems on there when it was much newer and I was younger. Nowadays? Pure godawful slop.

There's still some decent games, but you gotta really sift through shit. I only know because of my kids. I don't have an issue with them playing. I don't let them friend anyone (they don't know in real life), chat is dead, and when they play dumb games, they eventually come to the "this is dumb" conclusion, and I treat it like a learning experience.
