Roblox games are really clunky to make on PCs, let alone phones. You'll never be able to make one on a phone. It's crazy clunky.<p>A third person character running around with virtual joysticks: so clunky.<p>Roblox has been around longer than smartphones have, it has always been a port, much like Minecraft. Which sure, <i>kids</i> play.<p>Roblox is probably setting back the arrival of the metaverse, not advancing it. Whatever that means.<p>If you actually make and play games you don't talk about things that way. You're more aware of stuff like Dreams or Garry's Mod, you've touched stuff like Unity and Unreal and Flash. You kind of get that Roblox isn't competing with Grand Theft Auto but with YouTube Poop. Literal puppet shows. Like what are we even talking about.<p>As an aside, the biggest threat to Roblox is if parents spent money. I don't mean in Roblox. Surely, you guys understand, that the appeal of Roblox compared to Disney+, arguably the finest destination for 8 year olds, is that, on the face of it, Roblox is "free." It's a catch 22 really: the audience where they would anticipate all their revenue growth would <i>never</i> waste money on Robux, they would just get a Disney+ subscription.
