Kids of today will likely miss Roblox in 15-20 years, but it's unlikely they'll have the chance to play the stuff they missed during their childhoods (programming.dev)

Reminiscing on how kids of the 80s, 90s and 00s can all get games of their respective times via emulation and piracy, but anything inside Roblox is likely to be inaccessible when present day kids become adults and look back with nostalgia

I think you’re right. Archive.org isn’t backing up every Roblox game.

There’s thousands and thousands of crappy browser games that kids play on their phones/Chromebooks. It seems (just from observation) that there’s less console/handheld usage. I wonder if the shared experience around game and game console releases has an influence on the collective nostalgia.
