I legitimately don't know what Roblox is except supposedly a game... yet between kids yeeting thousands of dollars into it, becoming an obsessive black hole to them, and a place for predators I can't help but to ask what kind of nightmare dystopia is it?
It's basically a social platform + mod making platform + discord wrapped into 1 game, people have remade games like call of duty in roblox.
It's closer to fortnite for younger kids but it's almost completely unregulated.
Except roblox was released 3-5 years before minecraft
like it's possible yes, but ppl act like that means it is a great game engine that everyone should use, sure it's possible, but it's likely not any easier than using unity/unreal engine, s@box hopefully will take some of their base since you can eventually publish your own games without any fees.
