Millennials when they are old enough to make their own video games: Makes wholesome games about being a naughty goose. Also makes an RPG where you don't have to kill any of the enemy monsters but make friends with them because you feel bad for them
Violent AAA games don't count shut up, corporations aren't people.
The stark contrast between the stuff my generation makes in the indie scene compared to the corporate scene is pretty interesting though.
Yeah, I've watched my parents become very paranoid and antisocial as time goes on. My mother has become a full on vocal racist calling for extermination of anyone who speaks Spanish. My father has actually chilled out on his racism and homophobia (he used to be a cop, yuck), but otherwise they're just these two aging people locked inside all the time with their eyes glued to the TV or some very mindless phone game. It's not the worst existence, and I'm not much better with all the time I spend inside alone, but it is depressing. I don't know what happened. My mother does the same as yours, buys stuff online or off TV she doesn't need. Buys a gold necklace just to put it in a box and never wear it.
I've tried giving them other stuff to do, like traveling the world with all the money they saved up, or more mentally engaging things like board games or reading, but I'm failing.
