Should definitely still watch the videos. The full extent of the exploitation is sickening.

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
