alt Hacker NewsBest case scenario for this is...replace Roblox with games that don't have reward systems solely based on you playing as long as possible. We are losing a generation of children to these games.

I predict a very orthogonal outcome. This is an interesting experiment. If it gains some traction, Roblox and Minecraft are both very well situated to build a similar product and dominate the market.

If anything, this is them trying to eat their lunch by grabbing the market share and using the same playbook.
Do you really think Google cares about gameplay in the same likes of, say, Nintendo?

Having been a young game-addicted person in the past, I would assume the addictive part of Roblox is the social component, no?
Is it really just that they give kids nice shiny imaginary points for playing longer?
