    Roblox. I played it as a kid around 2007 when it was just a small Lego-like building game with your friends. It’s been really weird seeing it become some predatory, monetized app game that kids play on their iPad now.

    For reference, I’m almost 30 and haven’t played it since I was like 14. My friend’s kid was playing Roblox on his tablet and asked if I “heard of this new app game called Roblox” and it hurt my soul.

      the devs have pursued every bad idea and settled on ‘child labor and exposing kids to fucked up shit seems profitable’ so yeeeeeahh… the game industry looks at them and hangs their head in shame
