    Despite what you may think of Roblox (and it’s historically had plenty of problems) as one of the biggest gaming platforms ever, it’s certainly a shame to see it go.

    No it isn’t. No it fucking isn’t. That would be like if newgrounds shut down, one of the biggest platforms for pedo-nazi shit that just so happened to be a hub for flash games. Eventually you have to come to grips with the fact that the abuse is their export, not the games, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them going belly-up and taking their bullshit with them.

      Seems like I’ve missed a lot of articles surrounding where this hate comes from.

        Summary: They created an empire where they profit off the abuse of child labour and expose these same children to dangerous environments. They’re basically grooming children into exploitation at every level and making absolutely bank off of it. You can’t even say that they’re getting life experience because the tools they’re required to use to make games are proprietary and offer no transferrable skills.
