We know you Erik is my my hero

[@trollwaffenunit1garrison784]

erik cassel was the spirit of roblox, he knew exactly what roblox was supposed to be and what it was supposed to look like when he passed, it seems that roblox's spirit passed with him, as most if not all of roblox's worst updates seemed to have happened after his passing

[@Jaxter-1]

im glad someone is seeing my pov, david only cares about the money

[@Nizzler147]

he was that old but he always knew what the world needed 😢

[@randombfdifanOSC]

Is really sweet that roblox is still mentioning erik especially the t-shirt saying "erik is my hero"

[@RealItzChloe]

He may have died of cancer, but he’s not alone. He’s a true hero, and will never be forgotten. Fly high, Erik Cassel

[@SneakyNinja148]

POV:someone accidentally forgot about him💀

Erik will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Erik. You are a true hero.

[@ramzymilano4237]

Imagine if erik cassel wasnt dead, turns out roblox is getting worse when david is the owner himself 😔

[@UnrealFigure1]

Well at least David Baszucki isn't a dumb brainless ceo like Elon Musk. David Baszucki He is doing a good job for Roblox but he does support the addition of Rthro and all of these stuff. But he isn't bad..

[@wherespie428]

@@UnrealFigure1 It really is bad. It's like he's milking Roblox for everything it has, yet we're barely seeing improvement. Roblox still has average server connections, and it's engine has relatively poor optimization.

[@yappatronmk2]

He’s trying his best bro

All of it isn’t David’s fault all of it was because of the community

He always cared for our fun in the game of roblox and I really thank every part of his amazing creativity and care and I just have to say. This just shows that everything and everyone we love on this earth will soon pass on and we will too. Let's make the best of it and God is love ❤️

my sister when she was 7 years old (she is now 18) she taught me how to play Roblox when I was 8 months old, but I was born in 2013 she told me that Erik was gone and would never come back she told me when I grew up and had 7 years I grew up with Erik's sadness, rest in peace Erik.😭 I'm 10 years old today, February 16th, when it was February 11th, 2024, I cried saying: ERIK'S DEATH WAS 11 YEARS OLD. so I cried a lot more with this sadness, rest in peace Erik. 😭

I wonder how different Roblox would be if Erik was still around. Even if I wasn’t playing Roblox when Erik was around, he will always be remembered and his legacy will never disappear.

[@Cptcody20]

That is always what I think about all the time how roblox would be if he was still alive today

[@ghostlyn69]

Maybe if he was still around we wouldn’t have romantic themes in Lego games and soon possibly nudity…

[@oahts5906]

@@ghostlyn69yes sadly most of the og roblox team is no longer with us, most of these changes are from unknown stakeholders of roblox corporation. Sad, but they really did make a powerful game.
