I really wasn’t expecting to be completely out of the loop by 27 lol - thanks for explaining what the kids are into these days

I'm even more confused what Roblox is now lol

Hopefully this helped you understand the world of Roblox a little bit!

Listening to this it reminded me of when I was twelve playing Habbo Hotel, guess this is like a next evolution of that framework

Let me save you all some time, and I’m only about 90 seconds in and didn’t know what it was either. It’s basically a slightly more stable Gmod with monetization, a kid-friendly aesthetic, and “item trading.” Including stuff that costs real money. And it targets kids. To spend money.

This was pretty good. Thanks! Also, I like the concept of your channel.

I haven't heard of Roblox and I personally don't care but last week my sun showed me his own game created on Roblox Studio so I was impressed. The most useful thing is that the kids not only just play it and waste their time, but they can be creators too. Thanks Geeklama for teaching my kid

Caught my nephew playing this just wanted to make sure it was on the up and up. Thank you.

Thank you. I just wanted to know a bit more about Roblox and what all the fuss was about. This video explains it nicely.

So its like Garrys mod but more accessible. and with micro transactions basically? I swear I'm getting old.

Really good, as a gamer-dad I appriciate the short introduction to what Roblox is!

Very informative and direct. Thank you for the concise video :)

What a phenomenal video - near documentary levels yet still swiftly concise. Very much appreciated thankyou!

Your choice of music in this video was well selected.👌

1:36 None of those are "security" and "privacy" features, those are Parental & Content control features. By definition "security" features protect user against illegal access on their account, and "privacy" feature protect user's against linking their real life identity with in-game identity.

omg thanks for making this video. I needed a crash course. The data was great, and it's very informative. I had no idea it had been out since 2006! Wild that now 3/4 kids are playing it.

So glad you are making more videos! Or at least glad I’m seeing them on my Sub feed because I haven’t had your videos on my page for years.

My son has been talking about this game. Very helpful video thank you!!

Thanks so much! Been out of gaming for a long time and my 3 year old loved train games! Great channel!

Thanks for this video. As someone working in IT industry and gaming daily (I am pretty on par with tech trends) - I had to setup surface pro for my friends kid today and she asked that roblox to be installed. I realized I am out of the loop (and not so on par with tech trends) when I launched roblox and was stuck at main menu and had to ask a kid: "So how do you start the game?" This video explains a lot, thanks.

I think it’s the new type of Toys r us.

Used to play it but playing games in 2022 makes me feel like i still being a kid

So I am 25 just. But I recently met a 14 yr old guy while playing a game. He was talking all day about this... Well... I didn't have any clue, so I looked it up. Now I know., It amazes me how out of touch I am with what games are nowadays for those kids. When I was 14 I would never have played something like this... I used to tell and still sometime explain to my mum and her age group folks that they have no idea about the world today. Well... Seems as though the same goes for me in relation to the next generation behind us. It's crazy, but the world is changing at a dramatically increasing speed with every year. Its almost concerning :/

I play it because there's countless of games no matter what genre you can play in one platform. There's a lot of people playing it and I like interacting with people.

I was trying to fix my nephew’s iPad and had to reset it. My nephew got upset over deleting data from an app called “Roblox”. I asked what it was and him and his brother got excited. They told me it was a game that had many games + apps? Such is KZfaq kind of. I was completely off the grid. Now I’m a bit scared imagining the link between Roblox, meta, and COVID.

Thank you for this video. It is exactly the basic overview I needed. 👍

This was my childhood in ~2010. It's definitely changed a lot. OGs remember that helicopter game.

When you remove chat btw it just doesn’t let YOUR kid talk but other ppl can. There’s 2 chats, in game and out of game. One for you and your friends and another for everyone

Thanks for the education video. This helped.

I remember this was advertised over 10 years ago on websites. The commerical on one site made me very suspicious on the quailty but I'm glad its enjoy by alot of people.

Great video and very informative for parent like me who want to know what the Roblox is as my kids keep asking me to want to play it

Also, there aren’t any limits for age (in games). So if you’re under 13 and play a “18+“ game it won’t kick you out it’ll just allow you. But it’s hard to find 18+ games since they’re kinda hidden. You need to SEARCH for them. But not in the sense of search bars. I mean like you need to go to someone who has those games and join it from their profile.

Thank you for this overview! I am a nineteen-year-old whose father is asking her to play Roblox for his upcoming interview with the company but... he's asking a MINECRAFT player to play a game that she doesn't want to play on incredibly short notice. I hate to compare the two, since it is clear that they are pretty different despite both being sandbox games with online functionality and ways for people to connect, but based on what I've seen I still prefer Minecraft. It's the fact that you have to pay real money (more often than not) to get Avatar Customization options that turns me away from Roblox. If I'm going to spend hard-earned cash on something, it's gonna be something that I care about like food or a present for my cousin, not an in-game currency. (Minecraft Bedrock does the same thing, I know, but at least there is an option to use a version of the game that doesn't have that functionality. i.e. Minecraft Java)

Roblox should have better rules to protect all good players and should encourage players to be polite and kind.

So its basicly Second Life for children?

subbed, great short video. helpful

It’s the modern day Habbo Hotel or RuneScape

Sooo. It’s effectively a sandbox where everyone can create a world to play different games or simply meet up and simulate a second life. It’s kinda what I wanted VR chat to be, just not VR lol

I used to play Roblox in 2017, man it has changed a lot

So is it like a better marketed Second Life? I played around in Second Life for a few years here & there but there were some issues that prevented it from really getting mainstream inertia. The biggest problems were that you had to spend real money in order to be able to actually build anything or create any kind of content, and the second issue was that the graphics were so high that it took forever to populate a region. I could go somewhere and mess around for like an hour and still not everything even in the vicinity was downloaded. So is Roblox kinda like a more sustainable version of that?

roblox isn't a game it's a game engine with all kinds of games.

Bruh I didnt know that Roblox was released in 2006 when I was 10, I would have been it's target demographic then lmao.

I’m hoping someone can help me. I work with a Kindergartener who talks about this game. He is having a hard time learning and is following behind. I decided to come here and see what this game is. Then somehow I can use a character from the game to motivate him to learn educationally. What are the popular characters? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the useful and good explanation😃

Thank u for the info. I have nephews that are addicted to these games and they are only 6 and 10 so I worry about the fact all they want to do is play these games. I know their parents are not monitoring anything! They just give them Robux cards to be GOOD. So I am concerned.

I love the overall foundation of these types of games, and I think it has a good chance of making the younger generation.... focus on their creativity. I just don't like the overt greedy capitalism with all those microtransactions. Its good to teach kids, especially, that valuable things cost $ and there's a hierarchy to things... but i just feel bad that some kids are limited due to their financial situation. In real life AND now virtually too lmao

I have 2 boys that want to play this Thank you for making this really helps my decision if I should let them play I worry about pervs but I will keep watch as they play

thanks for this one of my family members didn't know what roblox is, and i didn't wanna go through all the time telling them the basics

Probably the best game I've ever played for the last 6 years!

All I know is that Roblox is where the oof sounds come from so I looked this up lmao

Who remembers when tix was around? Been years since it was removed, but I remember using them instead of robux.

What is Robolx's perspective on original works created within their platform, who owns the copyright?

You know, this was a good explanation. You have said all the key factors of Roblox: -That it is a platform for games, rather than a game by itself -That there are scams -How the infamous corona made Roblux very powerful Mind you, did you say Roblox is free to play? It is so on mobile. I like your style, and this was a well made video! Why you don't have more views? It's so unfair, you came very late to explain it but still did a good job doing so!

I’m 18 years old and still enjoy Roblox I’ve been playing since 2008-9 and love it

i remember playing as a kid i came back to it today and its like i've never played before or just not as appealing as it use to be

I thought this was a video about explaining what roblox events were and what is happening in the roblox storyline thats official but this works too

What is ROBLOX? ROBLOX is an online virtual Playground Full of tryhards, Online daters, 40 year olds, youtubers, hackers, bots, alternate accounts, rich kids that flex their robux, poor people, robux beggars and many more!

This would have been a good game to play when I was a kid, now I'm 22 and this feels boring to actually play it in my personal opinion.

I'm 30, I got hired by Roblox recently and all I'm doing nowadays is researching this whole thing to understand better what this whole "game" is about

Roblox is an online platform that allows users to create and play a wide variety of user-created games.

Roblox also features a variety of social experiences, such as parties, chat rooms, and mini-games, allowing players to connect with friends and family all over the world. Roblox is a safe and secure platform, with parental controls and moderation features that keep kids safe from inappropriate content. With its constantly expanding library of games and its user-friendly tools, Roblox is the perfect platform for kids to explore their creativity, make friends, and have fun.

Thanks for the explanation 👍

3 out of 4 kids are playing these corrupted games? Ugh, how jacked up are the new generations going to be, sad times. I used to play lots of custom Warcraft 3 maps and the idea of having to bring money into that equation to play all that great custom content is awful. Would have totally corrupted the experience and taken away the joy of people just being able to create and play whatever levels they wanted without having to bring in real world economics into the situation past the single initial purchase price everyone paid.

I'm a contractor. I was on Camp Lejeune this week and 2 marines were talking about playing Roblox. One was excited about his phone notification that made the OOF sound. I came here to see what Roblox is.

I do not use roblox but in the games I frequent we get players who clearly use roblox they and the vast majority are the a pain in the rear at best many are so badly behaved it beggars belief why are roblox players such a nuance in other games?

you should have shown pc footage and not only mobile

i was playing conquer online when i was 13 (2006). Same logic. This mechanics even existed before 2000s .

I'm so glad when I was a kid we used to play GTA 3 and shoot lizards with pellet guns

The more I learn, the less I'm convinced life isn't just a giant game of Roblox.

There are some games like phantom forces that is a first person shooter

So this is a place I could find someone to help make a game I've had an idea for for years?

looks like a cheap VRchat platform

This is so sick and could be a huge starting point for the metaverse.

Been playing since 2008. I feel so old now.

I would have been obsessed with this as a kid, I see why kiddos love it. Very open to creativity

2 minutes in and I'm still bored and don't get it. Lol

Neopets was WAAAY better. Lmaooo

I am 22 almost 23 and I have been playing Roblox since 2011, so I was like 10 years old at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I am glad how big Roblox has become and I hope it grows more and more.

I might be hired next week as a Roblox developper. I'm a programmer/developper, and it seems like Roblox is only continuing to grow. Its an industry . Thanks for letting me know what I'm getting into 😅

Thank you I’m 40 from the uk and wanted a game I can get into and become addicted to to pass time lol I won’t be talking in there if it’s all kids unless it’s a hello or goodbye etc

Seems really fun and cute for kids and maybe some adults can enjoy it too. I worry about all of the scammers taking advantage of people but I suppose they will flock to whatever is popular if Its Roblox or anything else.

did a creator make the jailbreak game or is that a native game created by roblox? are all games/experiences created by creators or are there also games made by the roblox team?

Thanks for the information

It's more like GTA online with more fretures but crappy graphics

Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States. Although Roblox has generally received positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, micro... This channel was generated automatically by KZfaq's video discovery system.

Very helpful wonderful video! Didn't know that 3 out of 4 children in the US between the age of 9-12 play Roblox. Wow!

I am 24 and i still have no idea what this game is. Like its not a game but a platform where other people make games for you? Could you play a version of counterstrike in roblox? Is it all separate games or is there a big world where everyone walks around?

For people who don't know what roblox is: What is Roblox? Roblox is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on Roblox is designed and constructed by members of the community. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore Roblox - interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything - be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, Roblox members can earn specialty badges as well as Roblox dollars (“Robux”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.

Almost 2024, is this still as popular? 3/4 kids between 8-11. That’s crazy

Dude.... I was just chillin, sitting on the toilet with my morning coffee, and I searched for "top selling games of all time" on my phone for some reason, and up comes roblox. I'm 30, I game hard, and NEVER heard of it. MUCH thanks for explaining wtf this is. 🙏

So it’s basically a cross between RuneScape and Minecraft? the bar has been lowered

I had no idea what this was. I thought it was completely different.

also some developers makes billons of robux and when they convert it to money u get like a couple millon dollars

Isn't this basically Playstation Home from years ago?

Somehow, I end up here every single day.

Roblox should be all ages to play. Adults can play because they can be kids like you. Kids grow up as an adult and can keep playing roblox. No matter what people say. Just enjoy what u do. I love roblox so much. I play when i was 20 something i dunno when. Im 26 and tomorrow is my birthday. I will always have Roblox in my heart now.

So how did it go from Runescape to World of Warcraft to this crap? What is going on? I feel old now

Thank you

1:25 art style?

Thank YOU!

Have u ever been on a different planet?
