Interesting article

Recommended Posts

I just stumbled across this Rolling Stone article about Neopets. It's an interesting read, and they're mostly positive about the game, but they only ever talk about it in the past tense, making it seem as though it's completely disappeared. Still, finding any Neopets-related article at all is quite miraculous these days, so I figured I should share it here. :smile:

That is interesting, thanks for sharing! It's really cool to see someone publicly acknowledge that playing on Neo was a formative experience for them, and not just laugh it off as a silly kid's game. That's the reason that there are still many adult players on the site--it offers a lot more than just caring for virtual pets. Maybe not all of us made a career out of what we learned there, but I know personally that it played a big role in shaping the way I interact with the digital world as an adult.

It's really nice for Neo to get some positive publicity. Not great that the article does make it sound like the site no longer exists, but an article in Rolling Stone will SURELY  get some people checking the site out, and draw a few oldbies back, so it's all good.

The article is showing as trending on Rolling Stone right now, I wonder if that's just because I'm looking at it. xD

I was hoping for more comments, but there's only 9 so far.
