what was roblox's original genre? I dont think anyone remembers. Roblox was originally a building game. A game where you could make things with friends, although I have not been here since the beginning my account is pretty old. And the game has changed a lot.
The problem I have with the category system it is very old, there isnt enough, and you cant put multiple categories. The building category for example can be many different genres, the most popular being Tycoons. however a lot of people including myself hate tycoons because they give no freedom or creativity, just waiting and pressing buttons like its the bloody Stanley parable. although that argument is for another time.
I think what should be best is to add more specific categories to file games into different genres, like having a specific tycoon genre for people who like tycoons, a murder genre for people who like the gmod murder style of games, a role-play genre for people who like that stuff, a "customise" genre to tell people that you can customise your character or car in game. the list could go on.
roblox could also allow developers to have multiple "mini categories" as ill call them as its hard to file a game under just one. But to stop greedy developers from putting down all of them to get more views on their game, roblox could limit it just 3 extra mini categories maybe.
