Roblox's "by kids for kids" schtick worked fantastically in 2007, where the most you could do is make a cool car and then pretend it actually drove with absolutely no financial incentive. The platform already had a long history of garbage moderation (the admin panel got leaked several times and mass hackings were just the norm) so introducing monetisation was the killing stroke.

[@nova14414]

Sadly true. I played roblox for ALONG time by now, and seen some of the worst of the worst... I still play sometimes for kicks and giggles and to take a walk down memory lane, but other times I to try to protect these kids from creepy fucking perverts! I was playing Dragon Adventures at one point, and during an event someone said they were "giving away" a free dragon. I knew something was up and luckily no one said they wanted it. So I said I would take it, and they said they wanted nudes (obviously they couldn't actually say that but you knew what they ment).... I'm fucking glad I was there and saw them before a kid did... I know how desperate kids get on this game to get some rare item. Also I knew something was up beacuse at that point, you could not trade the dragon they had, you could only buy it through in game auctions or win it from the event itself.

[@HirasawaFan]

@@nova14414 Ngl i agree but you can't blame roblox for the perverts. They make so many words tagged. Having perverts in a kids game is surprisingly normal.

A person just asking people to take a free item that's untradeable then randomly asks for nudes?

I see alot fall for everything from trust trades to crosstrading (against their rules beacuse its easy to get scammed), even after being warned. And at the time alot of kids didn't know that it was locked behind very specific requirements to get the dragon (had to get "charms" to increase odds of getting the other two season dragons and then you got the 3rd free) or through buying it for anywhere between 1-2 million coins. I can't count how many kids would run over and ask to offer for mine, and then I had explain why they cant only for them to not understand.

"Kids will play anything" is such a true statement. When I was in college for game development we had a few public school open houses. It could be anything from 5 year olds to 17 year olds about to graduate high school. Even my worst games that even I knew were buggy as hell (usually older projects I threw up on computers because why not) and they played it up! My favorite game project I made was a survival based synthwave space shooter that had upgrades as you went along and a huge stats list at the end. This one kid played it for 5 HOURS! He asked my professor and his parents if he could stay there longer to play it. I gave the kid a USB with the game on it and have his highscore saved on a picture somewhere. Which is wholesome but like I played the game less and I had to make it which included playtesting. They'll play anything and sometimes it's a refreshing thing for devs lol

I have been saying this for awhile. Another thing is that Roblox is getting kids addicted to gambling at a young age. Everyone rips EA for their loot boxes but no one says anything about Roblox. The biggest game on Roblox is called adopt me, where players open up surprise eggs for pets, which have different rarities. Since Adopt Me brings in a lot of money, many other developers have implemented similar loot box mechanics into their Roblox games. Roblox doesn't care because they are making tons of money from Robux which kids buy to spend on these games.

The problem is that nobody really ever takes ROBLOX seriously. Because it's a "LEGO game for kids." This statement is despite ROBLOX's increased spending on campaigns to market it to older teens, and the implementation of a voice chat system that requires photo-ID verification. The fact of the matter is, there are serious development companies who put out either a massive amount of shit or genuinely fun and well-structured games. Some of these CEOs genuinely do make upwards of a million dollars every year. It is not 2006 anymore, ROBLOX has changed. Companies with upwards of 100 staff members are producing content on the platform now. ROBLOX Corporate shut down the official forums and is allowing unregulated communication through third parties, and anyone who gets swept up in it is thrown under the bus if they are somehow mistreated. That being said, ROBLOX already mistreats its developers with the sorry state of the conversion rates between Robux and USD on Developer Exchange.

[@trill4184]

This has been going on for a long time on Roblox. Not only does Roblox have terrible moderation, sites issues, and issues with manipulating their young developers. One issue that hasn't been brought up is that Roblox offers no kind of anti cheat to the popular games that developers make on top of already taking a large cut of their money. Roblox actively does nothing about the exploiters on their platform. There's even a youtuber with over 132k subscribers called Sakpot, and all he does is teach children how to inject exploits/hacks through an executer. And who knows what these executables contain. And you can't even play popular FPS games on Roblox like bad business or phantom forces without there being an exploiter in every server. Even your squid game video was bombarded with exploiters trying to ruin the stream. Roblox rakes in all the cash and the developers are left without much protection of anything. Developers have even made their own anti cheat, but it still isn't enough.

[@hawkshot1025]

while this is true they did atleast add a feature called filtering enable that doesn't allow people to inject whatever they want into the game including porn and shit which was doable on pretty much every game many years ago. it's mostly just limited the client and server side so you can only really manipulate your own clients view and values of stuff

[@gyrthez246]

Fun fact; Phantom Forces have the best anti cheat on Roblox as they hire(d) developers of popular exploits to help develop the anti cheat detection.

@@gyrthez246 I've heard of this time and time again and it almost sounds like sarcasm. Either way the the anti cheat for pf is mediocre at best. I play it frequently and had 6 exploiters in a single game just the other day. If roblox had developed better anti cheat mechanisms then developers wouldn't even have to hire people that make popular exploits. It's absurd that developers had to even go to such lengths to try and prevent them. It just proves how terrible roblox is in implementing an anti cheat. For roblox to be valued in the billions as a company, they need to do more in preventing cheaters exploiting games on their platform.

[@reaperking2121]

I just have to say Roblox’s moderation is the equivalent of somebody looking at a blank page and deciding your fate off that. I once got a warning for making a slightly political joke with no real intention to be political. Then there are the people in servers bypassing the chat filter and shouting racial slurs, and in Roblox’s eyes, this is perfectly fine. My friend wanted to make a realistic game, and there was a female character in it. There was nothing sexual about this character or model, and his account - with $100 worth of Robux got banned. And also, they made voice chat where you have to put a driver’s license in to have it, and people can search up former president’s Brack Obama drivers license, and you can use it and Roblox will allow it. Then there are games like build a boat where you can make your creations in game, and people can make the p hub logo, and tell people to search up the website. It truly baffles me how kids can be safe on this website, a website with scammers, and other malicious people, while being safe. Anyways my rant about Roblox is over.

“Kids shouldn’t be chasing pedophiles in their own game.” For real. When I was 12, My friend and I found an entire network of Roblox creeps and malicious accounts through only a few clicks. They’re hidden in plain sight in public community groups. They all have discords linked to their profile with suggestive usernames. We found out about all of them when tons of random accounts with weird usernames started sending friend requests to me and my friend. If you did accept it, they’d ask you suggestive stuff to what they assume to be a child. It’s just horrifying that two 12 year olds can find all of these networks so young faster than an entire corporate moderating team can.

[@mikeymike9926]

As a long time player, just wanna clarify, with these stock items or limiteds is what roblox calls them, there is something called RAP, now when you see the price, thats just the asking price. I can dig up some dirt and say its worth a billion robloons but in reaility its worth nothing, that's where RAP comes in, which is basically the average of all purchases of something. While the hat you showed was worth 600 mil, players who trade on roblox would only see it worth around 500k since thats the RAP. Insane prices on low rap items just means no one wants to sell, so they throw it up for millions cause you know, jsut in case.

In middle school I had an extra class where we learned about a whole bunch of stuff and one of the projects we did was to learn about the economy and how the stock market works and they used something called the stock market game, which basically involved tons of different schools and would start up and end throughout the year, basically you were given 3 million fake dollars to spend on stocks and the idea was you were supposed to well, play the stock market. And at the end of the game (which typically lasted around 3 months per each game) whoever had the most money accumulated by selling their shares and stuff would get like $300.

It's sad; being a game developer with almost no revenue. It's not really the fact that my game is terribly made (although that's really your opinion): the problem is how easily people on the website can judge games/hats/anything that has some value based off of the demand for it. Such as Roblox Stock and Commissions. The large cut that's taken from my game + the lack of many players has only led to almost an non-purchasable amount of money. I have almost lost profit from my game; as it takes money to advertise, market, etc. This is more of a selfish rant, but this is a way to show one of the bad sides about roblox. And sure, some kids may be sexualizing games on roblox with the lack of mental capacity and not thinking of consequences, but this is very rare compared to what I have said above.

I would just like to offer some counter points. 1 I know and have spoken to an actual roblox dev (The dude who created the roblox squid game) while roblox may be taking a large sum of the profits he himself stated that with only roughly 10,000 concurrent players on you can easily make more then enough money to live off of roblox alone (Upwards of 50,000). The creators of Jailbreak are millionares so you can't argue that roblox is taking so much of their money they still do pay and they pay enough that you can become wealthy off the platform. 2 Roblox is unique as a gaming company because unlike all other services like Steam and such they run your overhead. They maintain the game engine for you, pay for your servers, and run the overhead this costs money and that money is hard for roblox to make the entire platform is free almost all game are free and the player base is kids. What this means is that the paying audience is tiny for the size of actual users. In short roblox has been struggling to make profits and has already been taking losses every year to keep the platform going so their is a legitimate reason for them to be taking such a large share of the profits. I'm not defending roblox. I'm just sayiing their is another side of this picture and straight up vilifying them because of one report is rather dumb.

something to take note off on the ultra commando, the owner who originally had it gave it to a known trader because he was quitting roblox and he wanted the item in circulation instead of it being trapped into his account.

One of the big reasons catalog collectibles aren’t talked about is that they’re not very prevalent in today’s Roblox outside of a 1% of the 1%, if not smaller. Limiteds were a flex item that made your character stand out due to their uniqueness and the limited amount of accessory items Roblox had. Nowadays, since the development of the UGC, most limiteds have lost their uniqueness outside of the well known like valks or the ones with special effects like sparkles. Kids obviously like cool looking things over just being collectible, and as the UGC is making new highly detailed clothing items while limiteds continue to look more dated, less and less people flock to them anymore.

[@yesyes-om1po]

I don't think kids including myself ever cared about limiteds, even when they were newer back in 2012.

[@Riku-hg9ke]

​@@yesyes-om1po 2012 was around the time trading began to explode in popularity on Roblox, with a game called "Trade Hangout" that dominated the BC-Only game section. Obviously, it still wasn't something everyone cared about, but there was a huge community around it as opposed to today. The game alone holds over 92 million visits, and half a million favorites, which is a very large amount for a game that was BC only, had little to do outside of trading, and was mainly relevant in a much smaller Roblox era compared to today. Everyone has a unique experience on Roblox, some people had more exposure to limiteds and limited trading on Roblox depending on what games and communities they involved themselves in, while some didn't. But statistically, it is undeniable that limited trading wasn't incredibly popular compared to today's standards. Now with the UGC, trade botting, limited bot sniping, the price gouging of limiteds, and so on, it has shrunk in size dramatically. I say this as someone that has been playing Roblox since 2008, my whole childhood, and was an active trader in that era.
