in case anyone else was wondering after looking at this meme, I don’t think roblox has actually died, their website is the same as always
What actually happened? I know nothing about it except the name. Why it is considered dead by others?
They’re currently in litigation one child labor exploitation for profiting off of child made content and for terrible child safety standards for basically ignoring that it was a pedophile feeding ground. It’s not dead though, probably going to be profitable forever.
“You was…” I’m hoping that’s on purpose.
the idea of Roblox was very great, if it just wasn’t marketed towards kids, and the moderation wasn’t as bad, it would’ve been much better.
The idea of letting kids make video games for other kids was great IMO. The idea that it had be financialized with micro transactions that resulted in a mass child labor scheme was that problem.
the Roblox studio editor is a little too complicated for kids to make interesting games. scratch is way better at doing that. (scratch is also better because there’s no way to spend any money) Roblox with a block editor instead of Lua and if you could only spend money on cosmetics would be perfect
or, if kids could choose to use a block editor so that more experienced programmers could still make complex games
Is it finally being shut down? Don’t get my hopes up
is there any alternative? I used to like it as a kid, but it turned to shit, (like everything).
