Roblox is incredible in some ways. I have 4 step-kids, and during the first UK lockdown, 3 of them played regularly in roblox with me (I don't live with them, and didn't see them for 3 months). Some of the games are immense - full on theme parks, weird physics games, movie tie-ins, "total wipeout" physical games, all sorts. There was a really accurate Natural History museum at one point. It's so incredibly diverse, that it's hard to get a real handle on it unless you play it. It seems to have got real traction with some of the kids in terms of the effort they put into programming their games, and hopefully it'll be a gateway to programming for some of them. I think kids spend too much time playing games, but Roblox is pretty good, and they even make an effort to censor the chat - which can never be 100% but it's better than a lot of places. FTR I've played minecraft with them a lot too, but the issue is that ends up being a fighting game ones the boys' hormones kick in (sadly!)
