      Holy smokes I had a bad gut feeling from the little I had seen of the game and some comments others have made but I had no idea the extent of the company’s depravity. Thank you so much for posting the videos these were very helpful.

        A lead Roblox dev went to prison recently for locking up children in his basement. It’s actually crazy how far you have to dig to find this news. But he got two life sentences

        Anyone remember Shedletsky? Yeah that’s him

    10% of all global gaming revenue? Does that include mobile games?

    How close are they to that now? It doesn’t seem like they’re even as big as Minecraft.

      Dude that’s not even close to the most insane part. They expect one in every 8 humans on the whole earth to play EVERY DAY.

        I didn’t count, is that how many there are? WOW, that’s a big ask. I think I’ll do my part and die someday to make room for another whatever this game is we’re talking about player

    No you misunderstand, they want to fix the shrinking birthrates and help developing nations get wealthy enough to have internet access and disposable income! And also fix global overpopulation symptoms! They’re not delusional about having 1/8 of the planet’s population as a user base, they’re philanthropists!

      what stage of capitalism is it when Roblox tries to make you have more babies so they can get them into their child labor game

        Sounds like roblox stage capitalism. Or slave owner mindset, I guess? Buy 2 slaves, force them to breed nonstop for extra slaves, profit

    That would certainly explain suddenly forcing Guilded users to have Roblox accounts to use a chat app. Get fucked, Roblox.

    Kids will realize some day what garbage Roblox actually is. And then the ride will be over.

    When HR wants me to carve time out of my day job to set a goal, they make sure I’m using a SMART goal and grill me about its implementation. If you’re not familiar, that’s something like Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Timely.

    This feels like a DUMB goal to me.
