I've noticed a lot of kids seem to have migrated from Minecraft to Roblox.

  My son tried to play Minecraft when he was 4, but he couldn't read yet so we gave him Blockcraft and later Roblox, both of which he can use without needing to read. That's because the interface is usable if you just click the defaults all the time, and he can clearly tell the difference between a blue button with text and a grey button with text. Although funnily enough, his desire to play Minecraft motivated him to learn to read. So it might be due to kids being exposed to and wanting to play these games earlier, which has perhaps caught Minecraft off guard resulting in a new generation that plays fast-following Minecraft clones instead of actual Minecraft.

  Roblox doesn't work on Linux even in Wine.

    Most kids don't use Linux

      The upside is that the smart kids will quickly grow to hate Windows at which point they'll discover Linux.

        I first got into Linux because Minecraft ran better on it... this was almost 8 years ago.

  My son (8 y.o.) went through that phase, but he realised that Roblox isn't nearly as good of a game, and he went back to Minecraft.
