There are Roblox gift cards that you can purchase at other retailers, which can be redeemed through a browser to credit the same account that you log into from the mobile app: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203312720-Where...

So it's not really entering a credit card number per se; it's more like giving someone else your credit card number so they can give you another number that you type into a different portal to make the digital goods "appear" on the iOS app.

Why are they making children jump through all these hoops just to enjoy an online video game https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005566223

Anyone can purchase currency outside of the App Store and use it in their iOS app, including Fortnite. Roblox doesn't bypass Apple's IAP requirement at all.

This sounds like exactly how you can do it in fortnite already.

And to further refute Epic's fanbase. Purchasing the vbucks outside of the App Store did not reduce the cost.
