Many of you are wondering why Roblox put this whole 13+ thing into order. Look around, there's not a whole lot of teenagers on Roblox except for on the forums. Why? Because Roblox is considered to "Babyish" for them.

This means there main group of people playing Roblox is smaller kids, such as 7 or 8 year old's.

And most of those kids don't even use studio, or build. They are attracted by games such as "Call of Robloxia" and other games similar to real market games.

Roblox has a lot of players as it is, surprisingly, since its a creative game, were as un-creative players join.

So, how could Roblox expand, how could there business become bigger? Well, the only efficient way to do that, is to attract another type of people, teenagers.

They've tried this technique by connecting with Facebook, Twitter and changing the site look to a more "Grown-Up" or technical.

But by putting "Age-Up" into place, not only will it double or even triple there profits, but won't affect the younger side of Roblox.

Its really quite genius, if you ask me.

Thanks for reading!

Not sure where you get your facts from: "not only will it double or even triple there profits"

But still I think you are on the right lines.

You are right. Roblox studio is a bit too advanced for a little kid. I mean, They dont understand what for example "MaxVelocity" is.

He talked about the 13+ sign actually meaning something in the future on his twitter.

Reason why most teenagers don't like Roblox: It's too babyish for them.

If we remove there reason to not like Roblox, they'll like it.

IF they will like it because its more "mature" for them
How does that make ROBLOX more "user creative"?

Roblox draws in teenagers, those teenagers are creative. If they like it, well, you know.
