My nieces and nephews are obsessed with Roblox. Without them I never would have played. They pulled me in the other day, with one of my siblings, and I found myself in the most poorly crafted Sims game (after 4) that looked like it was drawn with crayola markers by a 6yo.
I get the appeal, they pull in family across states while FaceTiming and such. No one is paying for anything. I can’t imagine anyone playing Roblox solo or putting money into it. It’s pretty bad. What it is is a venue for online get-togethers, one you can laugh at because it’s so bad.
No one in your family, hopefully. But kids will beg and annoy parents for robux, so they can buy skins and clothing items to use in the games.

Depends on the roblox game, there are some that have MMORPG style grinding, so you can find people playing solo there. As for money, besides the above, there are casino games where players spend robux, too.

Roblox is making over a billion a quarter…
Now that’s sad.
Yeah, actually incredibly so.
