I was wondering this since people in the alpha currently tend to ignore the lobby in favor of starting the minigames through the main menu, leaving the lobby servers mostly empty. ---

Being able to create Gameworld Servers and join them without going to the Lobby is a feature that is here to stay. ---

this is kind of a concern imo its going to be sad to have nobody to play BUMBA KERTZ with šŸ˜ž EDIT: Perhaps link the lobby lineups with the ones in the main menu? ---

I personally love the lobby and will likely spend a lot of time there, and I think there are plenty of people who share that opinion. So chin up, ā€œBumba Kertzā€ will have players for sure. šŸŒš ---

Thereā€™s a minimum player count for Virus and maybe Planet Panic (Iā€™m just assuming, havenā€™t really played it much) now, and Iā€™m assuming the same will happen eventually for Ball Race and Minigolf. Youā€™ll still have to look for players to play with, so I doubt lobbies are going to become absolutely deserted, and besides, you still have to join a lobby to do some shopping. ---

You canā€™t buy items by just playing Game Worlds. If they arenā€™t interested in that part of the game, we shouldnā€™t force them to go through it. If you just want to play Minigolf with only your friends then you can do that with the menu version.
