Constantly Evolving: Regular platform updates, new features, and ongoing investment in technology keep the experience fresh.

Content Moderation Challenges: Despite significant efforts, managing inappropriate or harmful user-generated content on such a massive scale remains an ongoing struggle.
Child Safety Concerns: Requires vigilant parental oversight due to potential online interactions and exposure to various content.
“Robux” Monetization Pressure: While free-to-play, progression and customization often encourage or necessitate in-app purchases of Robux, which can be expensive.

Scam Games/Phishing Attempts: The platform has historically faced issues with scam games designed to trick users into giving away Robux or account information, though Roblox actively combats these.
