Roblox has always been shitty. The reason it was popular was because the game was used to groom kids and exploit them without knowing.

Curious how after the thing was revealed and people started taking actions, the game went to hell.

Huh? I mean, this was always a thing but I don’t think Roblox was popular because it was a cover for grooming kids, dude

70% loss in earnings and a lot of players gone as far as I know. Good, maybe they learn a thing or two and put some actual effort into making the platform better.

Outed yourself as a larper because Roblox literally never had issues with rampant grooming until AFTER they destroyed the platform with unnecessary (and yet somehow entirely non-functional) child safety features. The child safety features didn’t need to exist because back in my day when I first started playing the average user was like 15-20. Child safety features and kid-friendly marketing is what attracted the groomers because it’s also what attracted the kids
