You've had your Roblox account for 18 years? Wtf, I could've sworn that game was released 4 years ago!
Thanks for making me feel old I guess.

Don’t forget the part where GP says they’re 25 years old (currently) and have spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on the platform.
Just a point of clarity (because I read that at first as well), they spent tens of thousands of robux, which are at a generic level 100:$1. So not as crazy as it sounds, still an investment.
My parents bought me lifetime OBC over a decade ago instead of an XBOX. I get 2200 Robux/month in passive income.

It doesn't seem surprising me they started playing at 7, and they were playing the game in 2008. I definitely recall the game taking off a good bit with little kids around that time. By like 2010 or so I knew of a ton of little kids who were at least aware of the game if they didn't play it themselves.
Game has been around for almost 20 years now.
Roblox is older than Minecraft...
Why do I remember learning about Minecraft way earlier than learning about Roblox?
You're not the only one. Im not sure how, but I didnt learn of Roblox's existence until at least 5 years after I learned about Minecraft. It somehow existed entirely outside of my social sphere, and I was an always online gamer.
Yeah, I had to go check this too. Not that I ever played either game, but I definitely recall Roblox being the knock-off version of Minecraft. It's wild checking the wikipedia entry for both and realising how much later Minecraft came out.
