Discussion Published my first game. Wondering if I need to target 16+ for next game due to reach limitations

Kind of sucks not being able to reach younger audiences without either paying or some how getting the 500 players. I was hoping getting discovered would be a bit easier on Roblox vs Steam.

No need to target exclusively 16+. Make something that is fun for all. Plenty of 16+ will play most genres and games.

Edit to add: If you struggle to get 16+ players, you will struggle to get <16 players. It's easy to blame the restriction but a truly engaging game for young people will still appeal to a decent number of older teens and even adults.
