My 8yo is addicted to Roblox and I'm losing my mind

Seriously guys I don't know what to do anymore. My son comes home from school and all he wants to do is play Roblox. I set a timer for 1 hour but he throws an absolute fit when it goes off. He's done his homework and everything but I feel like this is too much screen time. He doesn't want to play outside anymore or do anything else. Is anyone else dealing with this? What limits are you guys setting?

Sticker charts have been a lifesaver for us with screen time limits. Let him earn time for other activities and he'll actually work toward the reward instead of just fighting the timer.

I get it, I stare at screens all day for work and then try to keep my kids off them which feels hypocritical. What helped was finding something else he actually enjoys doing after school so Roblox isn't the default.
