Talk:Adopt Me!

"adopt me"

we love this game popular game on Steam, the RPG Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, had on the same day, with that game logging roughly 230,000 concurrent players". Howeever, the PCGamer source (which Screenrant cites themselves) mentions "[...]games reliably smashing the Adopt Me! record on Steam are the obvious ones: Counter-Strike and Dota 2", with Counter-Strike holding a peak of 1.3m concurrent in April 2020. This can be verified with Steamcharts, which scrapes Steam's numbers and keeps a history of them.

It is notable that the game beat out most of the competion in Steam's publicly available numbers, but should be updated to something more accurate. It should also mention that this is a peak concurrent player count, and the number comes from a first-party tweet. Comparing publicly available peak concurrent player numbers to more relevant and longer-lasting games is more honest and worthwhile for readers, compared to how bizarrely this reads in 2021 (where M&B2 is not even a top 50 game on Steam by concurrent players, while Dota2 and CSGO continue to be relevant). Yeah, that's fine. (talk) 06:11, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Fair point. It's probably fine to just remove it. Thanks, Clearfrienda ^💬 13:05, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Unotable

This game has an article, unlike the other games on Roblox. But this doesn’t have enough notability to have it’s own article, so this should be back to redirect.148.74.247.125 (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree. This game doesn't need its own article, and should just get its own sub aritcle on the main Roblox page.SlugStream (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:21, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Remove the term "but in reality".

The term is stating a popular side feature is the whole point, and the main aspect of the game isn't the whole point. Thanks Devonian Wombat!

@Texan777:, I've reworded the intro sentence, what do you think of the new wording? Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:06, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Devonian Wombat can you add this [1] on scam section?. 89.254.234.167 (talk)

 Done, I added the source. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:33, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Devonian Wombat can you pls update this article about the winter update on the game, here's the source [2]. Happy new Year. 49.151.163.255 (talk) 00:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done, and a happy new year to you too!. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

This game has no importance or need of being an article

Roblox has millions of games like that inside. This one has no reason of being in list and according to edit history, It's prob. added for advertisement. This article should be deleted. Ugur82 (talk) 19:25, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, Ugur82, the six-month waiting period after an AfD is closed has finished, so you can nominate it for deletion again, though I will advise you that I seriously doubt the AfD would result in anything other than "Keep". Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

I have no comment on if this game should survive an AfD discussion at this time, but in my opinion this article needs more unique websites covering it regardless. The article may have 35 sources, but nearly half of them come from one website (Entertainment Focus), and some of the sources focus primarily on Roblox itself rather than just Adopt Me!. I'm sure that more sources will be available six months from now which will help to demonstrate the independent notability of Adopt Me!, but as it stands, I believe that editors can in good faith disagree about whether it should be covered here or covered at Roblox, and if this remains unchanged six months from now I would support merging it. Cheers,  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 01:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Roblox is already kinda bloated, adding the information currently present here there would make it even more bloated, and would also mean that about half of the article is devoted to games that are on it rather than the platform itself, clearly too much. Theoretically, we could cover Adopt Me! in sufficient detail there, but it would only serve to make the main article worse. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:33, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

That's a fair concern. I think eventually there will need to be an article specifically about the most notable Roblox games, as the list of games covered by secondary sources will only grow with time.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 18:40, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

I agree with you (mostly). I don't like Adopt Me! and it's pretty derivative and boring. That being said, the fact is that Adopt Me! has been covered by many reliable sources and is a notable game. My personal opinions that the game is unimportant and is basically the same as all the other "adopt and raise a family" crap on Roblox don't really matter. Wikipedia is meant to reflect what reliable sources say about a subject and the fact that reliable sources have given significant coverage to adopt me! means we must as well.

@Chess: whether you like Adopt Me!, or not, it is one of the most popular games in the world, and consequently still a notable game covered by many reliable sources. I agree with Devonian Wombat, that as Roblox grows, and games on Roblox grow, either more pages will be needed to cover other games (which is only fair, as the games on Roblox are some of the biggest games in the world), or one page with a list of notable Roblox games. You can put up the page for AfD, however there is an unlikely chance it will be deleted, because even if you don't like it, the game is notable. || Clearfrienda == Talk Page || 14:32, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Clearfrienda That's what I wrote. Even though I don't personally like it and think it's a shitty game that's irrelevant to its notability. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 21:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Gameplay section

Literally nothing about the section on Adopt Me has any reference to roleplaying or adoption mentioning players, the two most obvious aspects of the gameplay, and is instead focused on pets. I understand the importance of pets, but the game does not revolve around just pets. 01052021a (talk) 00:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Bloxy Awards

Should an awards subsection be added under the reception section to show all the Bloxy awards Adopt me has received? I’m not sure if those are considered real awards but Adopt Me has recieved multiple.ZYXA4 (talk) 01:30, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Update section not suitable for Wikipedia!

The update section does not have reliable sources, most likely all from the same source, which is questionable. And, let's be honest. It's all original research, even if you put in this questionable source. It probably is just an Adopt Me! player adding these things when the updates come out (original research), not actually finding a source. I will remove it for now, you can debate in this section - it's just unnecessary. Thanks, Clearfrienda ^💬 13:09, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Why

I have some problems with this page, at first this page used to be a redirect to popular roblox games but now it’s a page for the game to I suggest that it’s should be merged again TheScottish801 (talk) 09:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 January 2023

In the info box, the genre section should link to 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_genres' as the current link does not supply 'MMORPG' or 'Virtual Pet' information and is very short/not informational. Wiki295 (talk) 18:12, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 Not done - @Wiki295, what you are trying to suggest is on the template {{Infobox video game}}. As the Genre field is used across multiple pages regarding video games, it won't be specific to each article. The Genre wikilink points to video game genre as it seeks to describe what a genre is in general, not provide meticulous information about every genre. Silikonz💬 23:31, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Merge With List of Roblox Games

Why does a Roblox game have its own page? It should be part of the List of Roblox Games! 108.51.30.174 (talk) 19:47, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

It passes WP:GNG. Brachy08 (Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Let You Down) 06:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

There was another advertisement for Adopt Me I think

I bought some cereal I'm pretty sure and in the the front it said "Adopt Me!" in the same font as the logo on this page. Some that had it was Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, basically almost everything. On the back there was some puzzles and word finds or whatever. Look it up, there should be some people pointing it out too. Should we add this to the page? Mineifications (talk) 22:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
