    Really? It runs everywhere (browser, mobile), it targets young children (a huge and passionate group), it is absolutely full of content (made for free/cheap by other children).

    It is the most obviously successful formula I could imagine.

      Nowadays I don’t think the games are made by fellow children as much. There’s whole teams of adults making money off of Roblox games

      Good points. I guess I was thinking about it from the stereotypical “adult gamer with disposable income” perspective. Not those gamer’s kids.
