My son - now 21 - has been using/programming on Roblox since he was about 10. He’s still using it to this day, and does make a little side cash on the games he makes as he’s working his way through college. I’m pretty sure his reaction to this is going to be to laugh hysterically and then go back to the latest code he’s working on.

Oh, I can just see the meeting that led to this…
“We have a problem: the players of our game, which is explicitly for children, are growing up and are no longer children.”
“Hmm, what do adults like? Alcohol?”
“No, it requires too much physical infrastructure to sell beer.”
“Sex? We could sell porn.”
“We already are. Too blocky.”
“I know, let’s add in a dating app.”
“Genius!”
