One factor I thought might be at play is now that Fortnite Creative is established, the Roblox players that are aging are given a new UGC platform to move to.
I know Roblox has players of all ages, but I feel like alot would feel like they have “out grown” Roblox and want to find something new
I’m sure this is a big factor as well, Roblox… well is old, like it’s something that was launched back in 06, and while it didn’t have as much monetization push back then, it was a lot more friendlier of an environment and had the feeling of an accepting platform where you could just chill. It has since devolved into your typical corporate entertainment zone. People might like the platform but, you can only rinse and repeat the same tactics so many times before people get sick of it being shoved into your face. Like you used to be able to enter maps without having 3 subscription tiers thrown in your face, you used to play them legitimately without having to worry about accidentally spending money on a game because you stepped on the wrong block. It’s very heavy “give me money” now. So I’m sure that something that gives a breath of fresh air might be something people are interested in as well.
Ah! I have never played or developed on it, so I had no idea it was that bad.
I feel like Fortnite Creative would probably just be more of that, though I believe they fund some of the Creative Devs with sales from Fortnite itself, not sure how much monetisation is there either tho.

If that were true, Nintendo would have failed 20 years ago. Notice that the stocked dropped not because Roblox lost users but because it didn’t grow enough. The stock market expects infinite growth.
