Why are all the good game companies struggling as of late? If roblox is trending this badly, just think of all the worse games with player bases that are 1% of the 800 pound gorilla in the space.

Yeah I'm sure the fact that a good part of Roblox playerbase and upper management are open and outspoken pedophiles has nothing to do with that at all lmao
>>
>>2814519
Sure, a player base measured with 9 digits will have some, but that's such an overblown issue. No one brings it up when talking about pokemon.

Are you living under a rock or just trying to save your face game at all costs?
They are literally on record for managing the game as a save haven for pedos , supported by its upper management and covered by moderation directly. Its basically their business model. This is not comparable to the occasional quickly reported and quickly removed pedo that may find its way into other games for kids.
You bet most of that user loss is parents googling the games name at some point in the last year and then banning their kids forever from playing it.
>>
>>2814630
this and also a lot of players most likely quit due to reduced freedom kind of like how a lot of WoW players have left due to draconian chat restrictions + false reports allowing botters and RMT to ban people immediately and all Q&A and GMs were fired so appeals take forever.

people play games to have fun but if you chat ban and remove them for saying a few curse words don't wonder why they decide to move to other games

NTA but he has a point. TF2 is/was notorious for pedos and nobody gave a fuck. Minecraft too.
>>
>>2814509
Roblox made a ton of money due to flying under the radar, they were allowing kids access to perverted and weird content. Now they have eyes on them there is no way to recover, cause the entire thing is degenerate.

It was in effect second life for kids.
>>
>>2816173
Neither of them banned people for reporting pedoes, or allowed explicit pedophile content.
>>
>>2816173
i think the main point of difference is that tf2 and minecraft are not approached with the expectation of socialization, roblox on the other hand is more often than not a chat room with a terrible clicker game as the topic of discussion
>>
>>2814509
>porn game for kids
they only got away with it cause nobody knew how terrible it was
>>
>>2819366
also not mentioned the pedo topic is practically unavoidable even if your tired of that in the zeitgeist and just wanna enjoy playing on the platform, be it another "exposure" or because the algorithm on youtube rewards talking about that stuff
