Besides Robux, What Can I Give to My Little Brother that Plays Roblox?

Please take the time to watch these two videos about Roblox :

Is your brother making games? If yes : there are several easy to use game engine like mentalo.app, Godot, gdevelop and such.

If your brother is mostly playing, then anything by Nintendo would be a good idea. Old consoles are cheap and if you have the Switch there are a lot of really good game on it.

Edit: And I second Minecraft or the free version (minetest I think)...

Never played Roblox myself, but my son had a big phase and still plays from time to time. Back then we’d get him Roblox figurines once in a while. They can be disassembled/mixed and they come with codes for virtual items as well.

they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Ooh, this is a great compromise. I like this idea!

No matter what anyone says money is the best gift

Even robux is effectively a gift card (you could even argue that its worse because of the value of digital goods)

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really dislike gift cards.

Here, let me change my currency, that in it's current state can be used in any store you want, to a currency of same value but now you can only use it on one store...

[–] Wookie@artemis.camp 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They have gift card for Visa, Amex, etc, and can be used anywhere

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Ah okay, those aren't commonly used where I live. I was thinking about those gift cards that you can only use at one store brand only.

Those you mention are at least a good way if you don't want to give cash.

Hi, yea that's likely me. What's your user?

[–] Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Luella, I just started a couple days ago with a friend of mine :p

Run a google search for "Roblox Merch", there is a BOATLOAD of it. Tshirts, hoodies, backpacks, figurines...

[–] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Has he tried Minecraft?
