    Stupid child developers… why aren’t they coming up with new good ideas!

    Also totally nothing to do with people getting terrified of letting their kids on there as, they do more to get in the way of police stings arresting child predators, and do nothing to combat them themselves.

      We need to make roblox but good. Kids deserve better than being groomed by Republican state representitives when they’re just trying to play a game

        People will hate me for saying this but “Roblox but good” already exists, it’s called Fortnite Creative.

            The monetary aspect wouldn’t really pan out, if it’s open source and every transaction is P2P instead of through a verifiable centralized third party then it’s just going to get inundated with (more) scams.

    A company losing a fuck load of money because its users aren’t making interesting games with their product, sounds like a massively stupid product right out of the gate lmao.

    You mean the company that profits off of ignoring groomers and pedos while also having a CEO that insists dating os a necessary edition has lost profit after being exposed for being evil? Parents are worried their kids may be being groomed so they refuse to let their kids on the platform and you are blaming the creators instead of yourselves?

    Nope, no surprise there.

    This implies one of three things:

    1. Roblox doesn’t have the same level of attraction of young children anymore.

    2. The share value was being heavily inflated by one or more entities and the time has come to dump.

    3. The bad economy is finally hitting Mom’s Credit Card.

      You are forgetting number 4 which is already impacting the industry: people preferring to watch TikTok instead of playing games

    Call me crazy, but I don’t think a single piece of media should be valued at $70b in the first place. It’s a video game.

    The pedo hub busting predator catchers doesn’t have any good games? Who would’ve thought.
