MODERATORS
As near as I can tell it's a very adaptable, easy to use framework for making video games. Speaking completely from ignorance it's kids making games for kids so the games appeal very strongly to kids. While this is very cool in a democratization of art kind of way Roblox is 100% explotative bullshit.
This is true, but also the top games tend to be created by teams of young adults and include (or just are) gacha for small children
