why do people say roblox is a 'cash grab' all the time

[Kishgal]

isnt that like the average prices for membership stuff on games like WoW though?

You can't possibly compare the level of quality between World of Warcraft and Roblox.

Why do people talk about a game that's made for kids under the age of 12 as if it's otherwise?

I don't see how that is even remotely relevant. What, do you think it's the kids spending $300 on a low quality building game?

kids should get quality games too.

No, I'm talking about people outside of the target demographic calling the game bad, acting exactly as if it was supposed to be made for people who are more than mature than the average player of the game. Of course you don't like it, it's not made for you.

There's a difference between liking something and the way it's made being compeltely absurd.
I like Roblox. It's a fun game.
I don't like the community and it's cash grab.
Using a demographic in this is irellevant as everyone in this forum like a LEGO-like game, there's no reason why to dislike Roblox itself as long as we like Blockland.

honestly i've played world of warcraft and in my opinion it's no better then any other 'run around and do tedious things for npcs and kill the same monster a million times' rpg,  the only reason it doesn't get so much crap is because it's made by blizzard and it's been around for awhile

you can't tell me that if a newer company made a game almost identical in gameplay it wouldn't get crapped all over and have tons of negative reviews

if a game is stuff it's stuff, no matter what demographic it's aimed at
a game can be made for kids and still be a good game for all ages

i wouldn't call it a cash grab but i'd definitely call it a cash cow

[erifpsiW]

Just to clarify, I'm not saying roblox is a well managed game or anything but it isnt that much of a cash grab.
its about the same as any other "Free to play" game we had back in the past

the only thing I can agree is a cash grab on it though is OBC, that things just loving absurd.

It's the original 'Free to play'

[Crispy_]

it's another free to play game that happens to have similar mechanics/goals of blockland so obviously you're gonna see more complaining about roblox in a forum like this.

[Cybertails1998]

I've seen people say they like Roblox more than BL because it's F R E E

[kidplasma]

Because you have to use real money to look nice, and to build nice.

[Flatflyer]

Because you have to use real money to look nice this part is true

and to build nice.

...and this part isn't.
you have the same building tools, paid player or not, its just you're limited to having one active place at a time.
you can build just the same as the people with BC, TBC and OBC. you just have to actually bother with trying.

although i'm not sure when they incorporated their membership model (i believe membership was required to play it for a while), Runescape probably came first.
ontopic: i'd hate to compare Roblox and Blockland just because they're lego-like building games, but:
lifetime membership for Blockland: $10
the best lifetime membership available for Roblox: $350
