with brainrot and pedophilia

>>737986761accessible through every device no account creation is requiredsmall download size instant playetc
Isn't this game just gacha/mtxslop, but directly and specifically targeted at children?
Honestly I hope this imprints on AAA devs that games don't need 5 year development times and hyper realistic graphics.
>>737986930Yes, and it's really bizarre that it isn't complained about more often given how predatory the whole thing is.
>>737986761Poor kids, retarded kids, and poor retarded kids, so basically every alphoomer
>>737987005kids dgaf, its no more predatory than any slop mobile game that they'd rather be playingThe only leg up on regular mobile slop is what little social aspects are left (showing your little character to your pals and doing a dumb game together), which evidently is enough to take over the slop market.Remember why those idle farming games on facebook were so popular?
>>737986761allowing adults to scam children.thats it, that is literally the one key to success
>>737986863>no account creation is requiredIt hasn't been like that for well over 10 years you LARPing Indian zooomer newfaggot.Kill yourself.
>>737987268Why are zoomers so self-hating?
>>737987286>zoomersI've been here since you were in diapers you broccoli hair newfaggot. I know this place is bad now but jesus fucking christ, every thread has underage retards like you shitting it up.
>>737986761Didn't that Hindenburg article expose most of these 'concurrent players' as bots?
>Hey I know that we are literally in the middle of an epidemic of total bullshit metrics>but trust me we totally reached an impressive metric and it's ENTIRELY legitimateI'm not a dumb enough retard to believe this shit.
>>737989607>>737989808Do you not know any kids? Because every kid plays roblox. Of course there's going to be bots but it absolutely is the most popular game platform.
>>737986801This
>>737987340>self-proclaimed oldfag that plays Roblox
>>737989908>Do you not know any kids? This is how you know it's bullshit. "No". No one is having kids.
>>737986761A combination of it being free and running on literally ANY platform/device.
>>7379868014chan core
>>737986761So how's the gameplay?
>>737986761Is Roblox really that big? I get that it's mostly kids playing, but even so, shouldn't there be WAY more youtube videos or twitch streams covering it? I barely see any.
>>737986761Third world children
>>737986761simple(((they))) want easy access to children
>>737990339most popular games are shitty incremental or pvp games
>>737990345There are hundreds of thousands of roblox youtube videos. They are designed for 7 year olds so you just don't see them.
>>737986761>look into it>turns out it isn't was total concurrent>its the concurrent users if you add up each modes peak concurrent users ever>the mod they claim has 22mil concurrent had that last year>isn't even concurrent real users but concurrent connectionsright so that isn't what concurrent users when you add up the different mods highest concurrent ever and claim that is the current concurrent users.roblox is a massive gamewhy do these spastic journos have to bend over backwards to try to figure out retarded ways to claim its even more popular than it actually is?
The third world and child molesters (who are predominately in the third world)
>>737990339Depends of what game you liked to play beforeYou want tf2? Classic Colors 2You want cod? thousands of regular shootersYou want world of warships? Dead AheadSo on and so forth
>>737989908>OUR METRICS ARE REAL DON'T YOU DARE BE SKEPTICAL AT FUCKING ALLOkay yeah they're total bullshit then

>>737986761100% the numbers are being cooked here a bit to boost morale or stocks or something, but:>playable on everything, including cheap phones and older consoles>global AFAIK>free/"free">no age gate>tiny file size>parents rarely pay enough attention and just assume it's just a bunch of LEGO stuff and kids games>highly customizable>gazillion games>every common trend and bandwagon gets cloned instantly, meaning max attention and players>easy source of unlimited money for adults who wanna abuse addicts (meaning lots of games to pick from, and a good variety too)>been around long enough for people to unironically bring in their kids to play it after playing it themselves (bonus: nostalgia)>so much good/bad content that streamers and Youtubers can crap out videos on it constantly>bots>>737990339>gameplayNigga, Roblox is a platform, not solely a "game". It's like asking what the gameplay's like for Unity or Godot.I've only played on Roblox like twice ever and even that ranged from "literally 1:1 of an AAA, popular, $70 first person shooter" to "haha lol jump into pit and break 999999999 bones xddd would you like to buy a 100000x bonus for $1000???"
>>737990202You got jew'd
>>737986761Just like Fortnite, it will reach a peak soon and then it's all downhill.
>>737986761This is it. This is Gen alphas Mario 64 or Half Life. This is what they'll be nostalgic for in the next 10 years. Gaming is done as far as I see it.
>>737990339Imagine gmod but with better and more variety of ideas plus not dead
>>737990672Oh so that's who plays roblox
>>737986761>How did Roblox take over the industryTurns out monetization of pedophiles is lucrative.
>>737986761I mean just like minecraft, Fortnite, eventually once the playerbase grew up they'll be fighting against new GaaS titles next. Fortnite is also on the decline thanks to zoomies growing out of it and started having jobs
>>737987215Scamming children in roblox is just a very minor cost but a massive lesson for those kids>got scammed on maplestory
>>737990339most games are just cookie clicker with a stamina barthe most popular game is pvp cookie clicker with (literally, not meant as an exaggeration) ai generated pokemon

>>737991540>a /v/ anon is developing a roblox gameWe reached that point huh
>>737991540looks cute
>>737991686What point, where people say "/v/ anon" instead of /v/irgin?

>>737992005/v/ making roblox gamesthat sounds like recipe for disaster
>>737990160Roblox has been around since the mid 2000s, with the concept existing since the late 90s.
>>737986801so... roblox is /v/core?
>>737991939its still being madeslowly the tank is one of a group of playable characters
>>737992326I'm not fucking a tank
>>737990339>90% of the games are absolute trash that not even the underage playerbase interacts with>5% are absolute trash skinnerbox games filled to the brim with micotransactions that somehow manages to get most of the underage playerbase to play it >4% are okayish but usually unfinished games that are completely hamstrung by being developed on a platform/engine meant for children that no one or barely anyone plays>1% are the actually good games that are hamstrung for being developed on a platform/engine meant for kids and that are DoA because no one in the community actually likes playing good games>100% of the games are being exploited by the Roblox company, they essentially treat every dev as a slave to the point where they should get their balls slapped into oblivion by every lawmaker on the planet yet they are all protected from consequences for some fucking reason>100% of the games are filled to the brim with horny pedos, teens and sexually confused kids. You can't avoid it and once you notice it you'll never look at the platform the same way ever again.
>>737986761I am surprised that a game nobody seems to talk about is so big. I still have no idea what it really is, because you don't even see shorts about the gameplay on Youtube. All I know is that it is some kiddy shit.
>>737992858>I am surprised that a game nobody seems to talk about is so big.Because it's not a game, it's a game engine where you can make anything that isn't explicit NSFW
>>737992858It's because they are literally lying about the number of active players it has and because 80% of the playerbase is between the ages of 5 and 13. Just like CS2 is absolutely infested with bots I can guarantee you that Roblox is even worse, if they are even bothering with trying to cover up their lies with bots in the first place.I'm also 100% sure that the entire platform is being used for grooming and money laundering since there is literally no other way for them to have as much money as they do currently without that being the case.
>>737986761Preying on kids.
>>737990339Biggest grooming sim in existence and because our "justice" system is worse than useless it's still around.
>>737986761its free, that it
>>737990339most of it is shit, some of it is decent and very few are actually good
>>737993006>that spoilerNo shit? Did you just figure that out in recent times. Either way, there are people (Not saying retarded timmys but sometimes) who play them and have insane communities for it some even crossposting between like ruina/limbus You can see it on /vg/ too...
>>737991540This is the same game with the bread cat?

feels kinda weird seeing anons be so clueless about roblox and acting like its a new thing when I've been on the platform for 11 yearswas it worth it? no
>>737991540I get that's your most recent progress, but it's clearly confusing some anons on thinking it's a tank game when it's not.it's DW related if you lot are wondering
>>737992316nah, Roblox is not gay enough
>>737990339good morning sar
>>737986761because we want to have sex with roblox characters
>>737986761never knew a single person who played this, it's all just fake traffic
>>737998665I played it back when I was 12-13, I'm 31 now. I remember there being an airport tycoon game that I was obsessed with for some time.I thought it died with the 2000s until recently seeing all these kids obsessed with it and robux cards being sold at the grocery store.
Game is heavily, heavily botted. It's why despite having such insane numbers you will barely see people talking about the game(s) in the wild. Twitch is heavily botted too btw, the owners benefit from these inflated numbers so do little to nothing to crack down on them, it's crazy how much of the internet is fake and gay these days.
is this why the founding fathers were opposed to a direct democracy?
>>737986761Americans just know what people want regardless of gender or age. Decades of leading the world, they understand humanity better than anyone.
>>737986801Trvthnvke
>>737986761What IS Roblox anyway, every time I see it it just seems to be a light game engine + game sharing platform with an aesthetic?
So is it like a metaverse thing where you walk from game to game inside the greater Roblox "game" (sounds horribly inefficient and claustrophobic.) Or is it just an alternative to the Steam platform with all its community features, but exclusively for community-made experimental indieslop?
How is it that something this popular with kids playing it has so much trouble keeping them safe from predators. Like do parents not know what Roblox is and that their kid is playing it?
>>738000245Do you remember Newgrounds? The flash games? Imagine that but modern and you can play with your friends
>>738001172And I thought gacha games for chink kids were bad enough
>>737986761You could sell genuine dogshit to a child as long as you call it an asymmetrical sim
>>737995208Loaffle…
>>737986761It also has even more bots than steam. Though if you removed all bots from both steam and roblox, roblox would still win.
>>738001418That sounds kinda based ngl, grooming aside Roblox does seem like it's alright.
>>737987005I think the answer is in your post.The kids obviously aren't going to complain.And the adults don't play it so they're utterly clueless.I've never met anyone who plays or has ever played this game or even knows someone who has played it.
>>738001374Remember how the closest thing to social media platforms were msn messenger, myspace, yahoo groups, etc, and how most of the people on the internet were largely rejects wanting to find similar people to share their unpopular hobbies with and people were encouraged to keep their internet and personal life separate?Ya well it turns out having Facebook convince you to put your entire life on the internet combined with smartphones becoming babysitters wasn't a great idea. Some parents just don't care for one reason or another, while others think "Well I grew up on the old internet just fine so they'll be okay..."
>>738001246Its lego gmod basically.
>>737986761By being free. Kids don't have money.
Outdated info.They released their numbers for the last quarter recently and as it turned out - there are 12 MILLION players less than expected.Stock crashed hard after that news got out.
>Thing you like for niche reasons becomes super popular for another reasonMy favourite tf2 hat is the Dark Falkirk Helmet, it used to be exclusive to Demoman, nor was it that popular, and the unusuals (fancy hats with effects), were really cheap because of it. I always dreamed of owning a high tier effect one day, which would cost about 50 bux.Later at some point they made it all-class and the price skyrocketed, even though the hat only looks good on Demoman. That 50 bux hat would now be about 150.I feel the same about Roblox.It used to be just a game about making maps with LEGO and exploring, maybe have some objective like capture the flag or whatever, but the game always remained a cool LEGO sandbox.Then it turned into a mobile games store where everything is monetized with games that bear no resemblance to the old roblox that I cared about.After selling out the stock and playerbase sky rocketed.I mean I never would've been able to afford to buy the game's entire stock if it stuck to its roots (nor would I need/want to) but the game is worth about 40 billion now according to a quick google search, which is even more depressing knowing that it will never fall into the hands of people who would be passionate about it.Seeing this game's financial success is just a reminder that soullessness wins.Poorly structured rant over
Indians.

Can someone explain to me why the posters here on this website are so butthurt at Roblox having high numbers? If you don't play it, it doesn't affect you who cares that it's numbers are higher than steam unless you're a rabid steam cultist who thinks it must be on top of everything?
>>737991686holy newfag
Deepwoken on release was really fun so I forgive the rest of Roblox for the rest
>>737986761Its a kino grooming EPI game. Just like /v/ is grooming EPI board for porn addiction and hating IRL women(which leads to more porn addiction). I used to warn people about both but /v/ has embraced the grooming to loserdom and not socializing with women that its kinda pointless to try and stop.
>>737986761Third worlders

>>738003212What do you mean? Anons here have huge hatred towards IRL women while pushing pornification and fetish stuff. Even when knowing its SFW board and that like a quarter of this board are underage. Fuckton of anons get off to grooming them with idpol and pornification of vidya characters, and if you complain about that you are considered tranny and woke.
>MUH PEDOES >MUH PEDOESHave you considered not letting your child be completely unsupervised?It's because of people going crazy about pedophilia that every government in the western hemisphere got the moral pretext necessary to pass ID laws.
>>737990202I...I I don't understand the math in pic rel...
>>737986761How do you even make money off of this? Why don't more wagies become roblox devs?
>>738003621What's there to understand? That's a method to solve it.You can't make 8 minus 9, so you advance one house, downgrade it by a number (in this case turning 1 to 0) and push it to the next house so you can actually subtract it.The joke is that by doing so in this specific question you have essentially made 18-9 again. So you're back at the start.
Boomer here. Is Roblox like minecraft?
>>737990345Like >>737990448 said, Roblox is an entire separate ecosystem for children so you won't see that shit unless you look for it.Nephew explained to me recently that he was playing a free game on Roblox that was basically just a lottery where you could win items that you could sell for real money. Had a good talk about gambling and youtube grifters.
>>737991540I thought this looked like trash until I saw the eyes and realized it was a porn game, now I want to play
>>737990339jujutsu shenanigans mogs every arena fighter released in the past 15 years
>>737987005I find it funny people whine about Valve having "child casinos" in their M-rated tactical shooter, but I never hear a peep about Roblox's infinitely scummier business model.
>>738003808I didn't get it either until someone to explained it to me that roblox is more like steamyou don't "play" steam, you log into steam and then look for shit to play. roblox is like that, technically it is a game but it's become more of a platform to search for shit to playand by "play" it's more like exploiting retarded children, half of these games have some p2w mechanic and kids beg parents for money just to process further
>>738002742Oof, talk about a fall from grace. Making one mistake like that is bad but making that exact same mistake again but worse is fucking catastrophic. He better hope that the pedos that work at Roblox HQ don't make him culpable.
>>738003394Nah, its the western governments failure to actually catch and geld these fuckers that is responsible for the hysteria, not the other way around. They are just using it as an excuse to go 1984 on ordinary citizens since they refuse to out their own caste.

Forsaken is more fun than Dead by Daylight
>>738005145>Forsaken
>>737986761Because due to how greedy the game industry has become, traditional games and game consoles have become luxury items that your average family just flat out can't afford. Roblox on the other hand is free and can be ran on any cheap potato PC, resulting in Roblox being pretty much the only game kids nowadays have easy access too.

>>737986761I've had to work with low income benefit recievers and everytime I'd go to their homes all the kids were on their phones playing it. I was told by one of the moms that when they visit family in mexico sometimes all their kids group up into packs of 20 to all play together. That's how it's popular.
I unironically don't even know what Roblox actually is. Like I know it has something to do with games for kids or something, but I have no idea beyond that. QRD?
>>738006256>>737986761We got rid of every third space/zoomers ruined their ability to have a third space through delinquency so their third space became digital. The game is less important than the interaction
And it has the worse nickel and dime bullshit you can find in any "game" gachagooks wish they were nearly as scummy as some of the games on this shit. It's fucking wild.

>>737990461>why do these spastic journos have to bend over backwards to try to figure out retarded ways to claim its even more popular than it actually is?Either it's shilling for stock market as other anons said it is actually a smear campaign against Steam.

90% of the shit on roblox is just idle game casinos for kids where russians idle with like 12 accounts running at the same time
>>738007968No, Roblox steals 80% of profits. Even the most popular game nets you $1000 of real money. You would need to be popular enough to earn 1,000,000 million dollars and always be within top 10 to earn money. That is still within your lifetime because to receive that goal you also lose 30 years of life to build maps, promote it and everything else.
>>737986761It’s popular sure, but the devs lose money every month sustaining it
>>737989908I only know adults who play Roblox.
>>738002525
The only person i know that plays reblox is a 24 year old co worker that drives 14 hours every weekend to fuck his 400lb gf in alabama. If thats the target audience what the living fuck.
>>738008234even worse than gaben's 30%, who are these faggots crying about unfair advantage for? It should be Roblox sued for unfair practices and child exploitation. At maximum 60% is valid.
>>738006873>many of these games have scummy transaction ridden (pay X to get power boost etc) and kids fall for it all dayWhy do these kids have money they can blow on games with no supervision?
>>738006321Think LittleBigPlanet on crack, but with worse graphics.Also everyone making "worlds" to explore filled them up with the worst of the worst GaaS practices. We're talking daily log-ins, roulette wheel spins, gatcha shit, paid permanent upgrades/wait-time removals/QoL, season pass, etc.
>>738007851Well yeah, thats true
Every time I see Roblox now I am horrified how drastically different it is from when I played it in 2010. My account is older than 98% of the current playerbase, maybe even older than some underages here.
>>737992858Do you think your 30 yo parents had any idea what was happening with runescape or what ever you were playing when you were younger?Why would you have any better grasp on what kids these days are up to if you don't even have your own?
