Yep, this low effort trash is what the kids want.

And how many are them are pedos?
I mean, there must be a ton since the company defends them, probably them that spend the most money.
I play it together with my daughter, she really likes the game, but 99 percent of these games are pure brainrot, with a few decent in between

Gaming industry has changed so much so rapidly. Doom TDA and Death Stranding 2 got outsold badly by Peak , REPO and Schedule 1. Roblox has more users than the entirety of Steam and PsN. Big budget AAA games are going to die an ugly death.

I find it informative in its ability to allow my feable mind to grasp the scale. My intuition tells me many people use Steam concurrently, and this one game can exceed that number.

Sadly, this is true. And in 200x I thought COD players were bad, how wrong I was...

What I see with my nephews are kids who want to create and experience lots of new things. In Roblox, they can make their own fun stuff and play their friends fun stuff. There's MTX trash in there, sure, but there's a reason kids are flocking here, and games like Halo, Battlefield, and GTA are trying to create online "platforms" for people to make and share stuff.

Amazingly, this company loses about $1B per year.
They've doubled sales AND losses since covid years. Back then there were $2B sales and $500M losses. Now they are at $4B sales and $1B losses.

Not sure, but skimming their financials they got lots of cash on hand and since their stock price has always been pretty good at minimum $30 (now at $100+). It started high way back when they IPOed and now. They can always sell shares if they wanted to build cash.

They're still cash flow positive, so those aren't necessarily cash losses. A lot of their losses are paper losses because of the way they do their accounting. A good chunk of their balance sheet expenses come from restricted stock compensation for employees, which shows up as an expense when awarded but can't be sold until it vests. They also defer recognition of revenue from paying customers and recognize it over something like 27 months. I don't quite understand it.

After all that, leadership is about to get branded the 'Pedoblox' for choosing the most spectacularly wrong approach to something simple. Just hand it to law enforcement, bruh. You don't need to do anything else but shut the fuck up and say, We're cooperating with law enforcement.

Funny you say this because one of the most popular experiences in roblox right now is a game called "steal a brainrot". It prob has more concurrent players than 99% of the games out there.

Amazon and Netflix also had more money going out than coming in, years ago. That was their growth phase, same thing Roblox is in right now.
All you need is investors who are willing to hold stock until the build-out and expense phase is over.

What's the message here? We're too successful to be held accountable? Are these guys trying to tie this into other narratives?
Sounds like Dexerto is trying their hand at playing politics.

Any moment now! You flip the switch and all the 10 year olds that played for free will start paying!Irrelevant when they are still losing around 1B dollarucos a year.
Also, weren't they already accused of inflating user numbers?

I'm seriously worried about the kind of games that will be released in the future.
If Roblox's high user numbers translate into equally high profits, we'll likely see more and more publishers following the trend.

You're being way too aggressive and edgy, the fuck are you, psyops from temu?Old Geezers crying again? Just like your parents did when you started playing those 'kiddie violent games' and it developed into the modern AAA industry?
I'm glad the younger generation does what it likes.

If next generation consoles don't have touch screen as their primary control method they will not grow their market because kids don't want them.

I had a realization playing Roblox with my nieces and nephews a month ago. It's just Playstation Home (or Metaverse) but fully realized.
Need to start thinking about what these young gamer's graduate too. Roblox and Fortnite seem to go hand in hand. the future social engineered gamer is fucked beyond repair. Gaming is doomed for us old folks.
I will say though Roblox seems to get a lot of female gamers who don't play much else. So good on them for expanding the market. But seriously no wonder games have trouble hitting targets when these Gaas games have players on lockdown.

Minecraft and this should have had a few weeks of success and then disappear. No idea how both can attract so many people so long, even setting records after years.

The younger generation is the first one since we have records whose IQ is way lower than their parents.
Probably social media and apps don't have anything to do, so let's double down.

One of the main reasons for its success is also because it's so low-spec it can basically run on a turnip. Only about 40% of its player base is in Europe and North America, a huge part of it comes from poorer countries where the tech may not be powerful enough to run Fortnite etc but will happily run Roblox.
See also: school kids aged 10-13 who get mobile phones from their parents which are far cheaper than the top-of-the-line models but can still at least run Roblox.
