    Every single roblox game is designed to maximize micro transactions into blantent money extracting games.

      Not neceserally but I think it has the same issue as say the google play store. IE roblox promotes the games do the best at extracting profit. There’s lots of games that are well thought out that don’t make much money. and they are burried somewhere on page 50+ hidden between a bunch of thrown together test projects etc…

            It’s a standalone game sold on steam, I don’t think it’s affiliated to roblox in any way shape or form ^^
