Everyone is like "well no shit" but I honestly didn't know. I don't play the game. It's good to hear about, especially for parents.

Yeah, people online have been talking for a long time about how exploitive Roblox is. However, it's still very popular and I know many parents who let their kids play it. I think most parents just think it's like Minecraft, and don't realize the effect micro transactions has.

I'm a bachelor in my 30's, Roblox wouldn't have been targeted at me, but my children...which I don't have. So the first I heard of Roblox was a Youtube video essay titled something to the effect of "I made a video about how exploitative Roblox is, and then it got worse."
