The idea of letting kids make video games for other kids was great IMO. The idea that it had be financialized with micro transactions that resulted in a mass child labor scheme was that problem.

the Roblox studio editor is a little too complicated for kids to make interesting games. scratch is way better at doing that. (scratch is also better because there's no way to spend any money) Roblox with a block editor instead of Lua and if you could only spend money on cosmetics would be perfect

or, if kids could choose to use a block editor so that more experienced programmers could still make complex games
