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?

Yep, usually there's one or more people narrating what they're doing in the game 

Sometimes w characters 

It's first person improvisational storytelling with visual effects

So it's a new-ish form of entertainment? I presume it's mostly Gen Z and younger?

Makes sense. Is there a commerce component beyond digital assets?

Yep, exactly 

I see it as a part of the entertainment- and social-commerce tech stack
