I thought Roblox was a Minecraft-like with building aspects to it?
- sokoloff 6y agoIt's an open game similar in some ways to Minecraft, but the amount of pre-canned games means it's more likely for a kid to lazily consume rather than work towards creating. (In a way that's slightly worse than Minecraft, IMO.)
- chaostheory 6y agoIt does. While it is more powerful than Minecraft's creation side (and your child programming in Lua has an entrepreneurial motivation for Roblox bucks which translates to real dollars), the downside is that it feels more separate from Minecraft's creative side, which is baked into the gameplay itself
- jandrese 6y agoRoblox games tend to be stuffed full of microtransactions, which is really annoying as a parent because kids eat that stuff up.
- mhh__ 6y agoIts hard to explain, but minecraft is more like an oliver postgate program like Bagpuss or the Clangers compared to one of the newer kids animated TV shows were stuff is exploding all the time.
- michaelbrave 6y agoMinecraft is a single game with the option of mods. Roblox is like a game marketplace with an engine where kids can make their own stuff and play each other's stuff (also microtransactions and the option for the kids to make money from said microtransactions).
