Does anyone here play ROBLOX?

OP's post reads like a marketing blurb.

To answer your question: No. But I have kids, and they do. Like everybody above is mentioning, there seems to be a target demographic for Roblox, and it isn't the same as the one posting here.

I though that Roblox was one game, but interestingly it's better described as a game platform. I'm sure a good bit of the next generation of software developers are going to have gotten their start working in Roblox.

Back in the day my game of choice was Warcraft 3. I was garbage at the main RTS game, but the "world editor" allowed for so much customization that you could spend all day playing games that were vastly different from one another -- all inside the War3 engine. Roblox reminds me of this. There are some genuinely fun games out there, as well as bizarre and weird ones. And chances are there's some kind of knock off Roblox version of many popular games.

It's not for me, but I can see the appeal. I'd rather my kids play things like "find the markers," "wormy," or maybe making their own experience (as the individual games are called) instead of something like Fortnite.
 
I for the longest time had no idea what Roblox was. I thought it was just Minecraft. I kept seeing these posts about tycoon games on Reddit and they looked pretty cool. I thought they were PC games. Then one boring, fateful day I took the plunge, figured it out and started playing some retail tycoon builder game on there.

It wasn't great, it wasn't bad. It reminded me of early tycoon games that you can no longer find new incarnations of on the PC. Sunk a bunch of hours into it.
 
The makers of Roblox have either been fined in the EU or USA for their targeting of addictive content towards children. I will not allow my grand daughters to play this game, along with Fortnite.
