It’s stupid but I started playing Roblox in 2008 and I still check in on it from time to time, there are a couple of half decent games out there if you know where to look because it’s pretty much just a game engine.
Between the s*** or the facilitate the worst of mobile gaming practices and playhouse to an innumerable number of pedophile rings is super f***** up. They basically trick children into developing video games and pay them scraps of what they’re worth. Limited edition Hats play host to what is basically a gambling or stock market system. I think one of the worst Parts is that pretty much any transaction the company takes an enormous cut of.
I have an item that’s worth 350,000 “Robux” that I bought for pennies like 10 years ago. I don’t have any way of cashing that out for real money but that’s still hundreds of real life dollars and also roblox would take a 30% cut if I sold it anyway.
Part of me wishes that I had actually learned to build properly in that game, for some reason i always struggled to wrap my head around scripting and actually building anything that looks decent for myself. I suppose from a certain perspective it’s not too late but what would be the f****** point roblox is trashed now.
Oh yeah the chat filter is a nightmare, roblox uses a chat service called Community sift if I remember correctly and it’s pretty much just makes it so that it’s impossible to communicate because they can’t be ours to moderate their stupid platform anymore anyway.
Also they are weirdly sexist, they enabled the publishing of user generated content and they allow some honestly pretty crazy alarming muscle bound and homoerotic masculine body shapes but any even remotely feminine shape no matter how tame and innocent is required to have these big ugly weird looking color blocks on them that look like underwear and honestly are way worse than having nothing there at all in terms of how it looks.
