My 8 year old and 5 year old girls spend literally their entire allowance on Robux. They would spend literally the entire day playing if I allowed it. The developer toolset is crazy strong too, I bet they're not even 10% of the way with their market penetration.
- acomjean 6y agoMy nieces the same.. very popular with the young ones. They even have an “among us” like game on there
- worldsayshi 6y agoFeels like every moddable game platform with decent popularity has an among us clone nowadays.
- kfichter 6y agoBrings me back to the days of gmod and TTT
- shitloadofbooks 6y agoAmong Us is already a clone of Mafia/Werewolf/The Resistance.
- bladegash 6y agoSame here, with daughters 4 and 7! They beg me for Robux on a frequent basis and 100% of their weekly allowance goes towards it. I have no doubt Roblux will continue to make mountains of money. The amount of people playing it is mind blowing and I’m sure there are additional ways to monetize their ecosystem. As a side note - it’s cool to see them play so well together and I even play with them too to engage with them on something they enjoy. On the other hand, I sometimes get concerned with how much they play and how addictive the micro transactions are for kids their age. Then again, I spent most of my days growing up playing games like EverQuest, WoW, learning to program, etc. , so it’s hard for me to judge.
- uoaei 6y agoI see this sentiment often from parents. It baffles me. If you made decisions in your youth that you think were mistakes, you should be passing on the lessons of those mistakes. Not stepping back in non-judgment because "who am I to say". You are their parent!
- jvanderbot 6y agoI think op was missing the implied " and I turned out ok "
- nhumrich 6y agoI think it's less about "mistakes I made as a kid", and moreso, "I turned out great, so maybe they aren't mistakes"
- aaronblohowiak 6y agoOr lessons well learned
- bladegash 6y agoYeah, sorry for the confusion - that sentence likely could have been more complete. As others mentioned, I feel as though I turned out fine and I regret next to none of that time spent.
- pyuser583 6y agoI agree with you. My daughter spent 100% of her allowance on Robux. Now she doesn’t have an allowance.
- m0zg 6y ago> you should be passing on the lessons One thing parents discover is that if it's between dopamine and "lessons", dopamine wins 100% of the time. My 16 year old right now is playing games instead of doing his homework. He's going to have 2 "F"s this semester, just like the last, and one before that, and one before that. Doesn't give a shit - never experienced any hardship (yet).
- lkxijlewlf 6y agoIt is interesting to me that this is a commercial entity. It looks to me more like it should have been an open source platform. It kinda has that vibe to it.
