    Maybe they’re creating a space for all the kids who grew up on roblox to move into adulthood? Kinda like the adult happy meal.

      More like he wants to find a way to monetize something that, however much parents may want to avoid thinking about it, inevitably happens. Something he definitely knows there is interest around, given how much effort they have to put to stamp down user-created sexual content.

      The Roblox game exists since 2006, the game itself is already 17 years old. There’s a growing demographics of adults who grew up with Roblox, not to mention that expecting teenagers to be tame and uninterested is just wishful thinking. This is not a shocking delusion, it’s an uncomfortable fact of life.

      Still, it seems unwise to tie that sort of thing to the same platform and brand.
