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

"Kids these days" have all the best toys/games. It's been true for like 100 years now.

Something better will replace Roblox. It's as sure as taxes.

    Yes, and? The point is that unlike the physical media of previous generations, these modern "games" won't be archivable and playable when they're older. That's irregardless of the game, Roblox is just used as a (very good) example.
