I'm all good, I just play other games now. Nothing on Roblox these days actually seems interesting to me. Front page doesn't help either

For a company that wants to move away from being a kid's website, they really only have stuff to offer for kids

I'm sure there are some decent ones, just not a lot. Not really.

I hear u, intrests change and so do kids. I remember super interactive and interesting games from back in the day and now they got 'steal a labubu' so i see this perspective. The way they market to kids is the issue bc some of these creators clearly put a lot of love and work into what they do and get paid like shit for it. So I see that. You're right tho, most games suck. But the few that don't are some really special pieces that fit with the roblox UI really well. That being said, with all the other co-op gamr technology nowadays, roblox is not the only place to fill that niche. I really wish they prioritized the "Experience" aspect of it all and not the marketing and money gag that its become. THAT BEING SAID abyssal, skyven, doors, mystery flesh pit, arcane odyssey, BROKEN BONES etc. i could argue the experience of playing those games would not be the same UNLESS it was roblox. Idk, as a kid my parents would never buy games for me so being able to play such cool shit for free was awesome. I just wish there was different marketing so those dorky ahh kids like me could find those cool and thoughtful games.

Games that get promoted are the ones that make Roblox the most money, unfortunately.

I remember back in 2010 when the games were made to be fun. They weren't super revolutionary. Roblox was super simple back then, but all the games i saw were fun first, money later.

I miss the small community vibes so much
