Can someone explain to me the appeal of Roblox? I don't get it. Gameplay and graphics feel like early 90s.

It's more about creating content and socializing

Gameplay and graphics will get better over time, but the built in memetics are already happening on a massive scale in game and on streams

I've seen some of the twitch videos of people playing Roblox games, is that what you mean by creating content?

I've assumed the graphics / gameplay is intentional and that I’m just not the target user. Is there another reason it's so bad?

My stepson used to love it. Especially during COVID.

It was his friend group's hangout spot, bounding from game to game with the same avatars.

It's the closest thing to the metaverse we have today despite the horrendous graphics.

Best people to ask about this are kids who are spending time on Roblox. For many, talking with friends is as much a part of the experience .
