My wife and I spent an hour or so in the Party Royale with our young kids last night, and it was very cool. As someone who has played a lot of computer games, it feels like we're entering an exciting era of virtual connection. Being able to hang out in a virtual space that the kids enjoy, with obstacle courses and time trials that are interesting for adults as well, and everything graphically enticing... I've spent a lot of time hanging out in MMORPGs, but something about the Party Royale felt more... real, though it's hard to explain. Maybe the movie playing offers some connection to reality, or maybe knowing that Epic is constantly adding content and making changes makes the world feel more alive... or maybe I'm just getting old. Whatever it is, it makes shelter-in-place feel less oppressive and it's one small sphere in which I'm excited for the future!
