      Minecraft being pretty damn good at it’s core gives it appeal to any age group even if the target demographic is children. Roblox isn’t really comparable to Minecraft it terms of core ideas and design.

      Some young 18-24 adults might be interested esp for the nostalgia factor. My uni has a roblox server where someone recreated our campus in it. Someone also played roblox music at some big outdoor party once, in a sorta ironic way, but it was somehow hyping everyone up

      I doubt many people will use this tho
