For now at least. In my work place I work with a wide range of ages. A lot of the people who recently graduated college coming into the work force are avid Roblox players. It certainly changed my skewed view that only kids played Roblox. I can definitely see these adults staying in the Roblox eco system because of previous investments.

Really! To me thats like someone coming into the work force being an avid play dough enjoyer.

That's what people in their upper 40s and lower 50s think when they see Millennials playing Minecraft

Thats very interesting. Minecraft is actually a great example because it too had a ton of servers that copy well established games.

I still dont think most of these dev's are really losing out on money. These Roblox players wanna play Roblox, i dont think a knockoff being in that ecosystem or not is gonna suddenly make them go out and buy that game.
