HOLY SHIT IT IS UNIRONICALLY OVER FOR ROBLOX

!G*MERS GET THE FRICK IN HERE

SOMEONE BIG FINALLY TOOK NOTICE

Posing as a child in Roblox's "therapy" experience, our therapist introduced himself as a "rapper with only one p". We were advised to run away from home and that he would come pick us up so we could move into his basement in exchange for paying rent with our body.

Some games seem to encourage illicit interactions, like "Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe" and "XYZ Club Vibe" with 31 million collective visits. Both are available to users who self-identify as 9+ years old, who can simulate s*x in bathrooms wearing skimpy outfits.


In other words, the number of people on Roblox is inflated by 25% to 43% when the metric is not de-alted. Rather than the 79.5 million DAUs the company reported in Q2 2024, Roblox would be estimated to have closer to ~56-64 million actual "people" on its platform on any given day, based on the former data scientist's estimates.


Developers have a motivation to create AFK games. Keeping players in games – even if actual users are away from their computers – pays off, a developer we interviewed explained:


As noted earlier, we estimate that DAUs are inflated by at least 25%-42% based on estimates of the proliferation of "alt" accounts on Roblox. This estimate doesn't factor in "bot" accounts, which we suspect further inflates DAUs substantially (given that there are entire thriving business ecosystems in Asia focused on running Roblox bots).

Roblox definitely has a super strict chat filter so no way this is a genuine image

There are ways to evade it :marseyroman: You can use special arabic characters that make the system read the text from right to left, for example. Some games on roblox also just have their own homebrew chat system because of how pervasive the filter is :marseynormalface:

The stuff about the bullshit user metrics with an internal accurate set they keep secret and impending market saturation while hemorrhaging money seemed pretty darning financially. Jury's still out though since it at least has a dead cat bounce to it.

I used to play when i was in high school and ive been playing some lego-cod/battlefield again recently

and i think something interesting to note is that they made an item that was mainly owned by inactive accounts tradable / sell-able, which is only possible if you pay for Premium membership. :marseyschizowall:

also theres a fricking scary amount of pseudo-gambling games now where everything is free to play. :(
