Digital Nouns (count? noncount? phrasal?)

Question

Hi! I ran into something that made me pause to think today. I'm probably tired and it has a simple solution ---- One of my students wrote, "There are some Roblox." -- and my initial response is that you can't say this nor, "There is a Roblox." It's a digital game for the computer or the cell phone. Are there any up to date rules on digital nouns like this, or should it be considered as a part of a phrase? Or just simply as a proper noun? "I have Roblox on my phone." instead of "I have a Roblox game on my phone." ? Any sources I can look into for perhaps newer digital rules?

Answer 1

I think the problem is that the student should say "There are some Roblox games," rather than "There are some Roblox." Roblox is a single platform, so the answer depends on context. It is singular as an app.
