sooo i have a question (and i'm not sure where to ask this question, so i thought i'd try the community here) are browser-based social games (think like Neopets, Gaiaonline) still a thing? like, is there still a market of people looking to play games like that? or has all the interest exclusively moved to mobile games?
They're still a thing, although maybe more niche. Folks who grew up in those communities still dig them. I know Subeta is still pretty active, and there are more being created, like Dappervolk. But I think there are a lot of sites that seem just like knocoff neopets, and those are.. meh. Kinda lame.
somewhat, i play one called flight rising which is kinda sorta like neopets but with dragons (signups are limited to one week a month and this month's week has already passed)
@beatnik Dappervolk looks BEAUTIFUL, whoa~! *_* i've heard of Subeta thru my obsessive googling lol, nice to hear there are still people making them. i think they're really comfy & would like to make something similar someday~ yeah, i've played too many of those bootleg Neopets games in my youth, they get stale real fast... XD
@180p-lemonade Flight Rising looks SO COOL!! i've always wanted to play it but could never manage to get an invite/sign up in time~ ;_; but that's great that it still has a dedicated fanbase, even if it's kinda small!

it has a counter to show the amount of currently online users and the most i've seen at once was maybe close to 4000?
