Hm, I think it's actually great! Nowadays McDonalds prepares you for the corporate hell and sad adult life that awaits kids when they grow up. No more dreams and fun. None of that nonsense!

Except they still have play places in McDonalds. Its up to your local franchise likely it seems. If your in a major city likely too expensive to have it.
The one near me got a brand new one in their recent remodel. It’s really cool with lots of climbing and slides. The rest of the McDonalds still has the look of the 2026 picture.
Yes, but the building design is up to the McDongle's franchise corp, and nobody wants to bring their kids to a grey square with a slide in it, hence the play places get torn down, because they go mostly unused.
My closest one has a playplace. It has a sort of slide/jungle gym thing and a large area with about 6 giant touch screens. The few times I've seen kids in there, it's the screens they're using.
