## What Jamie wrote

This is a good primer to Roblox which had a wildly successful IPO this week.

> In short, Roblox isn’t a game at all: it is world in which one of the things you can do is play games, with a persistent identity, persistent set of friends, persistent money, all disconnected from the device that you use to access the world. That is the transformational change.

Tyler and I have played with it a bit, but It didn’t click with me right away. He digs it though.
