Is a video game social media? Is Roblox a video game? Is simply having social functions enough to define social media or is more necessary?
When I think of social media, I think of forums, Reddit, Lemmy, Facebook, Discord, etc. Platforms and software with the sole or primary purpose of providing social interaction between users. I don't see video games as social media, though they may contain some content that provides a similar function such as an ingame chat.
Vintage Story and Dead by Daylight both contain ingame chat and multiplayer functionality, but I don't see either as social media. Though if one were to define social media in a literal sense then they would qualify. Is Roblox any different?
Consider how much these social media companies would need to gamify social media to make it not count as social media legally
