I'm 32 and always heard of Minecraft and Roblox but never really looked into them. I just assumed they were similar games 😅 I feel like I'd get bored of them, but maybe if I was a kid/teen I'd play them.
Ah yes exactly, also Ado Hotel. I didn't know these two online games were played by Americans too... I thought only francophones (French speaking people) like me play it
Let me save you all some time, and I’m only about 90 seconds in and didn’t know what it was either. It’s basically a slightly more stable Gmod with monetization, a kid-friendly aesthetic, and “item trading.” Including stuff that costs real money. And it targets kids. To spend money.
It's not really a gmod though. Gmod - you buy the game and that's it, you have access to variety of servers with different ideas/content/games. Roblox - Free to Download as a client to enjoy basics but Pay-to-Play for premium content. (Basically a Second Life [If anyone still remembers that])
So I am 25 just. But I recently met a 14 yr old guy while playing a game. He was talking all day about this... Well... I didn't have any clue, so I looked it up. Now I know., It amazes me how out of touch I am with what games are nowadays for those kids. When I was 14 I would never have played something like this... I used to tell and still sometime explain to my mum and her age group folks that they have no idea about the world today. Well... Seems as though the same goes for me in relation to the next generation behind us. It's crazy, but the world is changing at a dramatically increasing speed with every year. Its almost concerning :/
Dude.... I was just chillin, sitting on the toilet with my morning coffee, and I searched for "top selling games of all time" on my phone for some reason, and up comes roblox. I'm 30, I game hard, and NEVER heard of it. MUCH thanks for explaining wtf this is. 🙏

"How do you start the game?" If you're smart, you don't. I wouldn't help kids play these corrupt games that monetize everything. Terrible. They turn 'Monopoly' money into real money.

I play it because there's countless of games no matter what genre you can play in one platform. There's a lot of people playing it and I like interacting with people.
I haven't heard of Roblox and I personally don't care but last week my sun showed me his own game created on Roblox Studio so I was impressed. The most useful thing is that the kids not only just play it and waste their time, but they can be creators too. Thanks Geeklama for teaching my kid
I love the overall foundation of these types of games, and I think it has a good chance of making the younger generation.... focus on their creativity. I just don't like the overt greedy capitalism with all those microtransactions. Its good to teach kids, especially, that valuable things cost $ and there's a hierarchy to things... but i just feel bad that some kids are limited due to their financial situation. In real life AND now virtually too lmao
I would prefer that kids play Minecraft than Roblox tbh. Minecraft is once-off payment for the game and they can enjoy it and it develops creativity. But at the end of the day - it's all Business, if these games weren't making money - they wouldn't exist I guess.

It is so on mobile. I like your style, and this was a well made video! Why you don't have more views? It's so unfair, you came very late to explain it but still did a good job doing so!
I remember this was advertised over 10 years ago on websites. The commerical on one site made me very suspicious on the quailty but I'm glad its enjoy by alot of people.
Thank you for this overview! I am a nineteen-year-old whose father is asking her to play Roblox for his upcoming interview with the company but... he's asking a MINECRAFT player to play a game that she doesn't want to play on incredibly short notice. I hate to compare the two, since it is clear that they are pretty different despite both being sandbox games with online functionality and ways for people to connect, but based on what I've seen I still prefer Minecraft. It's the fact that you have to pay real money (more often than not) to get Avatar Customization options that turns me away from Roblox. If I'm going to spend hard-earned cash on something, it's gonna be something that I care about like food or a present for my cousin, not an in-game currency. (Minecraft Bedrock does the same thing, I know, but at least there is an option to use a version of the game that doesn't have that functionality. i.e. Minecraft Java)
For Avatar customization, there is called ugc item, you can earn them in every game that include it and it's free but you need some receive condition and also Minecraft is overrated they have new eula and pay2win aspect (even though roblox did the same, not all of them are pay2win)
Thank u for the info. I have nephews that are addicted to these games and they are only 6 and 10 so I worry about the fact all they want to do is play these games. I know their parents are not monitoring anything! They just give them Robux cards to be GOOD. So I am concerned.
I was trying to fix my nephew’s iPad and had to reset it. My nephew got upset over deleting data from an app called “Roblox”. I asked what it was and him and his brother got excited. They told me it was a game that had many games + apps? Such is TH-cam kind of. I was completely off the grid. Now I’m a bit scared imagining the link between Roblox, meta, and COVID.
Roblox should be all ages to play. Adults can play because they can be kids like you. Kids grow up as an adult and can keep playing roblox. No matter what people say. Just enjoy what u do. I love roblox so much. I play when i was 20 something i dunno when. Im 26 and tomorrow is my birthday. I will always have Roblox in my heart now.
Also, there aren’t any limits for age (in games). So if you’re under 13 and play a “18+“ game it won’t kick you out it’ll just allow you. But it’s hard to find 18+ games since they’re kinda hidden. You need to SEARCH for them. But not in the sense of search bars. I mean like you need to go to someone who has those games and join it from their profile.
3 out of 4 kids are playing these corrupted games? Ugh, how jacked up are the new generations going to be, sad times. I used to play lots of custom Warcraft 3 maps and the idea of having to bring money into that equation to play all that great custom content is awful. Would have totally corrupted the experience and taken away the joy of people just being able to create and play whatever levels they wanted without having to bring in real world economics into the situation past the single initial purchase price everyone paid.
I am 22 almost 23 and I have been playing Roblox since 2011, so I was like 10 years old at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I am glad how big Roblox has become and I hope it grows more and more.
Roblox is an online platform that allows users to create and play a wide variety of user-created games. With its easy-to-use tools and expansive library of materials, users can build almost anything they can imagine. From simple 2D platformers to 3D blockbusters, Roblox is home to thousands of user-created games. With customization options, users can customize their character's appearance and pick from a variety of gear and accessories to give their avatar a unique look. Roblox also features a variety of social experiences, such as parties, chat rooms, and mini-games, allowing players to connect with friends and family all over the world. Roblox is a safe and secure platform, with parental controls and moderation features that keep kids safe from inappropriate content. With its constantly expanding library of games and its user-friendly tools, Roblox is the perfect platform for kids to explore their creativity, make friends, and have fun.
It is a sandbox game. Its appeal is it can have and experience thousands of games in within a platform and launcher. And plus the fact that is quite light weight and less resource consuming for that much of experiences and an online game which we can increase the chances of replay
When you remove chat btw it just doesn’t let YOUR kid talk but other ppl can. There’s 2 chats, in game and out of game. One for you and your friends and another for everyone
I might be hired next week as a Roblox developper. I'm a programmer/developper, and it seems like Roblox is only continuing to grow. Its an industry . Thanks for letting me know what I'm getting into 😅
I do not use roblox but in the games I frequent we get players who clearly use roblox they and the vast majority are the a pain in the rear at best many are so badly behaved it beggars belief why are roblox players such a nuance in other games?
idk man, i play roblox but get bullied, if not bullied, Insulted and get called mean things. idk why they hate me for playing it, always calls me a kid though i dont play kid-targetting kids. i play mature ones. maybe toxic kids gave bad impressions to them so when they see roblox players they'll insult them. for no reason. at all.
Im an older player. I feel kinda like I'm immature at times because i know the lore lol but it came out when I was 11 so i had time to adapt over the years. But anyway for my fellow 20+ year olds who are confused, its basically a catalog of games and you use the same avatar in each game. You may customize them though between free clothes and robux clothes if you choose to. I had gotten back into it over the years between DragonBall games and Liminal Space/Backroom games. I do enjoy the social aspect of it as it brings a realistic feel to the adventures rather than your comrades be NPCS. Dont get me wrong i play consoles and PC games as well but Roblox is surprisingly solid. Just gotta keep out the older people who are creepy and also the condo games need to go. When ive been in a server and got vibes someone was bejng suspect i would make it my business as an older person to put them in check. Virtually smacking around a possible adult being a creep to kids and teens is a great feeling I'll say that much from experience. It has its pros and cons like any online experience.
What is ROBLOX? ROBLOX is an online virtual Playground Full of tryhards, Online daters, 40 year olds, youtubers, hackers, bots, alternate accounts, rich kids that flex their robux, poor people, robux beggars and many more!
I'm a contractor. I was on Camp Lejeune this week and 2 marines were talking about playing Roblox. One was excited about his phone notification that made the OOF sound. I came here to see what Roblox is.
Were these Marines "old style" military Men that looked like they could have stormed Normandy or the new 🌈 rainbow boys & girls that can't do push ups and have 2 moms?
Here because I wanted to know what I'm missing, since Roblox is blocked from running in WINE, and once Windows 10 is end-of-support, I am very unlikely to ever run Windows on my personal hardware, again. Fortunately, it's something I can quite comfortably do without.
For people who don't know what roblox is: What is Roblox? Roblox is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on Roblox is designed and constructed by members of the community. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore Roblox - interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything - be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, Roblox members can earn specialty badges as well as Roblox dollars (“Robux”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.
Just find a game perfectly fit for u ive never liked much rb games the only thing i found very interesting is a trading game aka bgs meant to teach kids the values percentage and demands and also demon slayer tycoon its very fun if used properly

I searched for a video like this because I heard my son talking to his friend about a game that his friend played and wanted to know if my son could play with him. From this video, all I see is a video game that is just not for kids. Where are the games that are played locally and do not have all these micro transactions? Nintendo seems to be the most family friendly platform right now. As much as I think their games take a more simplistic approach.
when a random moron on youtube says that a flash game from 2003 that has since been shut down with a completely closed down system is better than a thriving game with over 50 million active daily players and the ability to make whatever you want, from cod clones to flight simulators, prophunt, bhop, etc seethe
Thank you I’m 40 from the uk and wanted a game I can get into and become addicted to to pass time lol I won’t be talking in there if it’s all kids unless it’s a hello or goodbye etc
@@go4thmultiply349 Are you okay? There's always people you can talk to, you know. If you don't have anyone around, there are free services like hotlines and support groups that can help. Lashing out won't help you with your issues, though. It only makes it harder to find people who will listen. Best of luck.
Here's an example of a roblox game in which most (good) players are not kids: Deepwoken (RPG game) It costs 400 robux (5$) and the new voice chat setting would make you feel nostalgic of old COD lobbies when killing other players There are almost no gamepasses and it is a permadeath game, meaning if you die 3 times, all the progress you have made in the last hours/days is gone.
Roblox is a massively multiplayer online game platform that has grown tremendously since its launch in 2006. The platform allows users to create, design, and play their own games, making it a popular choice for kids and teenagers around the world. In this essay, we will explore the history of Roblox, the features and benefits of the platform, and its impact on the gaming industry. Roblox was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel under the name "Dynablocks." The company was renamed Roblox in 2005 and launched its beta version in 2006. The platform quickly gained popularity among children and teenagers, with its user base growing from 100,000 in 2006 to over 100 million active users in 2020. One of the key features of Roblox is its user-generated content. The platform allows users to create their own games using a block-based programming language called Lua. This means that users can design and build their own virtual worlds, characters, and game mechanics. They can also share their creations with other users, who can then play and rate their games. In addition to user-generated content, Roblox also offers a variety of pre-built games that users can play. These games range from action and adventure games to role-playing and simulation games. Some of the most popular games on the platform include Adopt Me!, Jailbreak, and MeepCity, which have all been played by millions of users. Roblox also allows users to customize their own avatars, which can be used across all games on the platform. This means that users can create unique characters that reflect their personal style and preferences. The platform also offers a social aspect, allowing users to interact with each other in virtual worlds and chat rooms. One of the benefits of Roblox is that it encourages creativity and problem-solving skills in children and teenagers. By allowing users to create their own games and virtual worlds, the platform helps to develop their imagination and innovation. It also teaches them programming skills as they learn to use Lua to build their games. Another benefit of Roblox is that it is a safe and moderated platform for children and teenagers. Roblox has a team of moderators who monitor user activity and content to ensure that it is appropriate for all ages. The platform also offers parental controls and privacy settings to help parents manage their children's use of the platform. Roblox has had a significant impact on the gaming industry, particularly in the area of user-generated content. The platform has inspired other game developers to incorporate user-generated content into their games and has shown the potential for community-driven game development. It has also opened up new opportunities for young game developers to showcase their skills and build a career in the gaming industry. In conclusion, Roblox is a massively multiplayer online game platform that has become a popular choice for kids and teenagers around the world. Its user-generated content, pre-built games, social aspect, and moderated environment make it a safe and creative platform for children and teenagers to explore their imagination and develop their programming skills. Its impact on the gaming industry has been significant, paving the way for community-driven game development and inspiring young game developers to pursue a career in the industry.
Roblox wasnt a thing back in 2006 I know cause I was 7 years old during that time. Classmates of mine were not talking about or even playing Roblox. We wanted to play GTA and call of duty Halo. I honestly don't see the appeal in this game at all. But I'm 24 my nephew is 9 he loves the game. To me it's just a creepy Lego looking Minecraft stealing game to me. I tried to get into it for my nephews sake but I hate the game. Sticking with my PS5 and switch. I'm in college to be a game developer. This game is a laughing stock among my college peers. They do see that while it does promote creativity it also is so ugly and praying on little kids and their parents credit card. It's honestly despicable.
Seems really fun and cute for kids and maybe some adults can enjoy it too. I worry about all of the scammers taking advantage of people but I suppose they will flock to whatever is popular if Its Roblox or anything else.
i think roblox saved many kids that have autism or sth people having issue finding friends in irl they could have a chance to find friends in a game escaping irl for a while at least so they wont be too depressed or something roblox is good, but..... i am not really sure too be honest for right now since many gamble game.. coming out edit: I didn't watch the whole video but I wanna share my opinion for roblox as a player
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States. Although Roblox has generally received positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, micro... This channel was generated automatically by TH-cam's video discovery system.
So is it like a better marketed Second Life? I played around in Second Life for a few years here & there but there were some issues that prevented it from really getting mainstream inertia. The biggest problems were that you had to spend real money in order to be able to actually build anything or create any kind of content, and the second issue was that the graphics were so high that it took forever to populate a region. I could go somewhere and mess around for like an hour and still not everything even in the vicinity was downloaded. So is Roblox kinda like a more sustainable version of that?
I wouldn't call it that it's more like youtube for games, you watch people's content and people make content, you can pay to who you watch (play) and support them. That's what roblox is like, a social media platform for playing and making games
I have 2 boys that want to play this Thank you for making this really helps my decision if I should let them play I worry about pervs but I will keep watch as they play

Yeah where can I find this track lol so peaceful
Used to play it but playing games in 2022 makes me feel like i still being a kid
Bruh I didnt know that Roblox was released in 2006 when I was 10, I would have been it's target demographic then lmao.
Probably the best game I've ever played for the last 6 years!
I remember this was advertised over 10 years ago on websites. The commerical on one site made me very suspicious on the quailty but I'm glad its enjoy by alot of people.
Oof that was your chance to invest in Amazon when it was still a bookstore
Thank you for this overview! I am a nineteen-year-old whose father is asking her to play Roblox for his upcoming interview with the company but... he's asking a MINECRAFT player to play a game that she doesn't want to play on incredibly short notice. I hate to compare the two, since it is clear that they are pretty different despite both being sandbox games with online functionality and ways for people to connect, but based on what I've seen I still prefer Minecraft. It's the fact that you have to pay real money (more often than not) to get Avatar Customization options that turns me away from Roblox. If I'm going to spend hard-earned cash on something, it's gonna be something that I care about like food or a present for my cousin, not an in-game currency. (Minecraft Bedrock does the same thing, I know, but at least there is an option to use a version of the game that doesn't have that functionality. i.e. Minecraft Java)
For Avatar customization, there is called ugc item, you can earn them in every game that include it and it's free but you need some receive condition and also Minecraft is overrated they have new eula and pay2win aspect (even though roblox did the same, not all of them are pay2win)
Orr just do an event to receive a price, but Minecraft event the only annoying thing is that you need to pay to go to event (bedrock issue not Java)
Thanks for the information.
The interview didn’t end up happening and I’m happy as I am playing MC.
This game is fucking stupid
Thank u for the info. I have nephews that are addicted to these games and they are only 6 and 10 so I worry about the fact all they want to do is play these games. I know their parents are not monitoring anything! They just give them Robux cards to be GOOD. So I am concerned.
I was trying to fix my nephew’s iPad and had to reset it. My nephew got upset over deleting data from an app called “Roblox”. I asked what it was and him and his brother got excited. They told me it was a game that had many games + apps? Such is TH-cam kind of. I was completely off the grid. Now I’m a bit scared imagining the link between Roblox, meta, and COVID.
Thanks so much! Been out of gaming for a long time and my 3 year old loved train games! Great channel!
All I know is that Roblox is where the oof sounds come from so I looked this up lmao
You can totally purchase the original sound on Roblox for one fricking dollar.
@Pack All Gaming Check the store. The in-game store.
Roblox should be all ages to play. Adults can play because they can be kids like you. Kids grow up as an adult and can keep playing roblox. No matter what people say. Just enjoy what u do. I love roblox so much. I play when i was 20 something i dunno when. Im 26 and tomorrow is my birthday. I will always have Roblox in my heart now.
Roblox should have better rules to protect all good players and should encourage players to be polite and kind.
Also, there aren’t any limits for age (in games). So if you’re under 13 and play a “18+“ game it won’t kick you out it’ll just allow you. But it’s hard to find 18+ games since they’re kinda hidden. You need to SEARCH for them. But not in the sense of search bars. I mean like you need to go to someone who has those games and join it from their profile.
What is a roblox 18+ game parents DONT even play roblox that much?
I'm so glad when I was a kid we used to play GTA 3 and shoot lizards with pellet guns
Huh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep literally what I did. Killing lizard with pallet guns are so fun seriously
Or just shooting pokemon cards or squirting a water gun on a spider like its a extreme obby they usually pounce on me like assholes
I'm so glad when I was a kid we used to play Streets of Rage and choke our chickens...
3 out of 4 kids are playing these corrupted games? Ugh, how jacked up are the new generations going to be, sad times. I used to play lots of custom Warcraft 3 maps and the idea of having to bring money into that equation to play all that great custom content is awful. Would have totally corrupted the experience and taken away the joy of people just being able to create and play whatever levels they wanted without having to bring in real world economics into the situation past the single initial purchase price everyone paid.

I am 22 almost 23 and I have been playing Roblox since 2011, so I was like 10 years old at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I am glad how big Roblox has become and I hope it grows more and more.
I didn't know this game was this old and I'm 30. I'm just here because I want to know the hype. 😅
Roblox is an online platform that allows users to create and play a wide variety of user-created games. With its easy-to-use tools and expansive library of materials, users can build almost anything they can imagine. From simple 2D platformers to 3D blockbusters, Roblox is home to thousands of user-created games. With customization options, users can customize their character's appearance and pick from a variety of gear and accessories to give their avatar a unique look. Roblox also features a variety of social experiences, such as parties, chat rooms, and mini-games, allowing players to connect with friends and family all over the world. Roblox is a safe and secure platform, with parental controls and moderation features that keep kids safe from inappropriate content. With its constantly expanding library of games and its user-friendly tools, Roblox is the perfect platform for kids to explore their creativity, make friends, and have fun.
It is a sandbox game. Its appeal is it can have and experience thousands of games in within a platform and launcher. And plus the fact that is quite light weight and less resource consuming for that much of experiences and an online game which we can increase the chances of replay
Thank you for this video. It is exactly the basic overview I needed. 👍
When you remove chat btw it just doesn’t let YOUR kid talk but other ppl can. There’s 2 chats, in game and out of game. One for you and your friends and another for everyone
I think it’s the new type of Toys r us.
👀
No it’s not
I used to play Roblox in 2017, man it has changed a lot
Thanks for the education video. This helped.
I might be hired next week as a Roblox developper. I'm a programmer/developper, and it seems like Roblox is only continuing to grow. Its an industry . Thanks for letting me know what I'm getting into 😅
So, u hired or not by now? My curiosity
I do not use roblox but in the games I frequent we get players who clearly use roblox they and the vast majority are the a pain in the rear at best many are so badly behaved it beggars belief why are roblox players such a nuance in other games?
idk man, i play roblox but get bullied, if not bullied, Insulted and get called mean things. idk why they hate me for playing it, always calls me a kid though i dont play kid-targetting kids. i play mature ones. maybe toxic kids gave bad impressions to them so when they see roblox players they'll insult them. for no reason. at all.
Ugh i have no idea i play roblox but when i get off the platform ans try to play pu they keep talking about roblox
Im an older player. I feel kinda like I'm immature at times because i know the lore lol but it came out when I was 11 so i had time to adapt over the years. But anyway for my fellow 20+ year olds who are confused, its basically a catalog of games and you use the same avatar in each game. You may customize them though between free clothes and robux clothes if you choose to. I had gotten back into it over the years between DragonBall games and Liminal Space/Backroom games. I do enjoy the social aspect of it as it brings a realistic feel to the adventures rather than your comrades be NPCS. Dont get me wrong i play consoles and PC games as well but Roblox is surprisingly solid. Just gotta keep out the older people who are creepy and also the condo games need to go. When ive been in a server and got vibes someone was bejng suspect i would make it my business as an older person to put them in check. Virtually smacking around a possible adult being a creep to kids and teens is a great feeling I'll say that much from experience. It has its pros and cons like any online experience.

I'm a contractor. I was on Camp Lejeune this week and 2 marines were talking about playing Roblox. One was excited about his phone notification that made the OOF sound. I came here to see what Roblox is.
Were these Marines "old style" military Men that looked like they could have stormed Normandy or the new 🌈 rainbow boys & girls that can't do push ups and have 2 moms?
Here because I wanted to know what I'm missing, since Roblox is blocked from running in WINE, and once Windows 10 is end-of-support, I am very unlikely to ever run Windows on my personal hardware, again. Fortunately, it's something I can quite comfortably do without.
Windows 11 isn't bad.

What is Roblox?
Roblox is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on Roblox is designed and constructed by members of the community. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore Roblox - interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything - be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, Roblox members can earn specialty badges as well as Roblox dollars (“Robux”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.
i was playing conquer online when i was 13 (2006). Same logic. This mechanics even existed before 2000s .
2 minutes in and I'm still bored and don't get it. Lol
Just find a game perfectly fit for u ive never liked much rb games the only thing i found very interesting is a trading game aka bgs meant to teach kids the values percentage and demands and also demon slayer tycoon its very fun if used properly

Wrong way to scale. Roblox is a miniature version of life.
I searched for a video like this because I heard my son talking to his friend about a game that his friend played and wanted to know if my son could play with him. From this video, all I see is a video game that is just not for kids. Where are the games that are played locally and do not have all these micro transactions? Nintendo seems to be the most family friendly platform right now. As much as I think their games take a more simplistic approach.
Neopets was WAAAY better. Lmaooo

when a random moron on youtube says that a flash game from 2003 that has since been shut down with a completely closed down system is better than a thriving game with over 50 million active daily players and the ability to make whatever you want, from cod clones to flight simulators, prophunt, bhop, etc

What about *Toon Blast?*
That's a simple puzzle game but has optional teams who can chat.
Here's an example of a roblox game in which most (good) players are not kids: Deepwoken (RPG game)
It costs 400 robux (5$) and the new voice chat setting would make you feel nostalgic of old COD lobbies when killing other players
There are almost no gamepasses and it is a permadeath game, meaning if you die 3 times, all the progress you have made in the last hours/days is gone.
Roblox is a massively multiplayer online game platform that has grown tremendously since its launch in 2006. The platform allows users to create, design, and play their own games, making it a popular choice for kids and teenagers around the world. In this essay, we will explore the history of Roblox, the features and benefits of the platform, and its impact on the gaming industry.
Roblox was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel under the name "Dynablocks." The company was renamed Roblox in 2005 and launched its beta version in 2006. The platform quickly gained popularity among children and teenagers, with its user base growing from 100,000 in 2006 to over 100 million active users in 2020.
One of the key features of Roblox is its user-generated content. The platform allows users to create their own games using a block-based programming language called Lua. This means that users can design and build their own virtual worlds, characters, and game mechanics. They can also share their creations with other users, who can then play and rate their games.
In addition to user-generated content, Roblox also offers a variety of pre-built games that users can play. These games range from action and adventure games to role-playing and simulation games. Some of the most popular games on the platform include Adopt Me!, Jailbreak, and MeepCity, which have all been played by millions of users.
Roblox also allows users to customize their own avatars, which can be used across all games on the platform. This means that users can create unique characters that reflect their personal style and preferences. The platform also offers a social aspect, allowing users to interact with each other in virtual worlds and chat rooms.
One of the benefits of Roblox is that it encourages creativity and problem-solving skills in children and teenagers. By allowing users to create their own games and virtual worlds, the platform helps to develop their imagination and innovation. It also teaches them programming skills as they learn to use Lua to build their games.
Another benefit of Roblox is that it is a safe and moderated platform for children and teenagers. Roblox has a team of moderators who monitor user activity and content to ensure that it is appropriate for all ages. The platform also offers parental controls and privacy settings to help parents manage their children's use of the platform.
Roblox has had a significant impact on the gaming industry, particularly in the area of user-generated content. The platform has inspired other game developers to incorporate user-generated content into their games and has shown the potential for community-driven game development. It has also opened up new opportunities for young game developers to showcase their skills and build a career in the gaming industry.
In conclusion, Roblox is a massively multiplayer online game platform that has become a popular choice for kids and teenagers around the world. Its user-generated content, pre-built games, social aspect, and moderated environment make it a safe and creative platform for children and teenagers to explore their imagination and develop their programming skills. Its impact on the gaming industry has been significant, paving the way for community-driven game development and inspiring young game developers to pursue a career in the industry.
Only boys right? Girls can’t play video games.
Roblox wasnt a thing back in 2006 I know cause I was 7 years old during that time. Classmates of mine were not talking about or even playing Roblox. We wanted to play GTA and call of duty Halo. I honestly don't see the appeal in this game at all. But I'm 24 my nephew is 9 he loves the game. To me it's just a creepy Lego looking Minecraft stealing game to me. I tried to get into it for my nephews sake but I hate the game. Sticking with my PS5 and switch. I'm in college to be a game developer. This game is a laughing stock among my college peers. They do see that while it does promote creativity it also is so ugly and praying on little kids and their parents credit card. It's honestly despicable.

Great video and very informative for parent like me who want to know what the Roblox is as my kids keep asking me to want to play it
Seems really fun and cute for kids and maybe some adults can enjoy it too. I worry about all of the scammers taking advantage of people but I suppose they will flock to whatever is popular if Its Roblox or anything else.
i think roblox saved many kids that have autism or sth
people having issue finding friends in irl
they could have a chance to find friends in a game
escaping irl for a while at least
so they wont be too depressed or something
roblox is good, but..... i am not really sure too be honest for right now since many gamble game.. coming out
edit: I didn't watch the whole video but I wanna share my opinion for roblox as a player
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States.
Although Roblox has generally received positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, micro...

@@godofwar0678 I’m what...
If u play Greenville grafics are nicer there are some games with to much quality every device lags
roblox graphics can be high as gta 5 with roblox you can crate game and made graphics more realistic with no shader
So is it like a better marketed Second Life? I played around in Second Life for a few years here & there but there were some issues that prevented it from really getting mainstream inertia. The biggest problems were that you had to spend real money in order to be able to actually build anything or create any kind of content, and the second issue was that the graphics were so high that it took forever to populate a region. I could go somewhere and mess around for like an hour and still not everything even in the vicinity was downloaded.
So is Roblox kinda like a more sustainable version of that?
I wouldn't call it that it's more like youtube for games, you watch people's content and people make content, you can pay to who you watch (play) and support them. That's what roblox is like, a social media platform for playing and making games
So it’s basically a cross between RuneScape and Minecraft? the bar has been lowered
My nephews and cousin are addicted to this.
Thanks for the useful and good explanation😃
thanks for this
one of my family members didn't know what roblox is, and i didn't wanna go through all the time telling them the basics

I worry about pervs but I will keep watch as they play
Who remembers when tix was around? Been years since it was removed, but I remember using them instead of robux.
I’ve been playing since I was about 8/9. 11 years later and I occasionally play still with my boyfriend’s brother. It’s so entertaining.
i remember playing as a kid i came back to it today and its like i've never played before or just not as appealing as it use to be
I would have been obsessed with this as a kid, I see why kiddos love it. Very open to creativity
Thanks for sharing
