Yeah it was hard to watch these kids who are obviously very angry and hurt about predators on their site but have no options to get rid of them other than to resort to yelling at them in game
Imagining a clan of young children making it their sole purpose to destroy any pedophiles within their game is hilarious. Like Kids Next Door except beating the shit out of pedophiles.
It's amazing how Charlie goes from joking about the item stock market to genuine horror at the sheer amount of money these actual kids are burning for the sake of having a funny new hat.
@@ChiefJab also is it really? i mean the average 13 year old doesn’t understand how much a few thousands of dollars could help them out hence the reason they hold onto these items and don’t sell
I thought this would be about _DRAMA_ drama in Roblox, like youtube drama. No, this is way different. This is a whole new way to exploit kids and its disgusting.
I love how Roblox exploits children but everybody acts like it's the children's fault. As if 8-14 year olds know if they're being exploited, or even know what exploitation means.
I've seen a lot of comments already telling those who were exploited "It's your fault, get a contract next time". They have no idea how contracts OR exploitation works. The stupidity is astonishing.

Roblox's "by kids for kids" schtick worked fantastically in 2007, where the most you could do is make a cool car and then pretend it actually drove with absolutely no financial incentive. The platform already had a long history of garbage moderation (the admin panel got leaked several times and mass hackings were just the norm) so introducing monetisation was the killing stroke.
Sadly true. I played roblox for ALONG time by now, and seen some of the worst of the worst... I still play sometimes for kicks and giggles and to take a walk down memory lane, but other times I to try to protect these kids from creepy fucking perverts! I was playing Dragon Adventures at one point, and during an event someone said they were "giving away" a free dragon. I knew something was up and luckily no one said they wanted it. So I said I would take it, and they said they wanted nudes (obviously they couldn't actually say that but you knew what they ment).... I'm fucking glad I was there and saw them before a kid did... I know how desperate kids get on this game to get some rare item. Also I knew something was up beacuse at that point, you could not trade the dragon they had, you could only buy it through in game auctions or win it from the event itself.
@@nova14414 Ngl i agree but you can't blame roblox for the perverts. They make so many words tagged. Having perverts in a kids game is surprisingly normal. Tik tok is mostly just kids and adults beating to girls dancing 💀. Also icl that story seems kinda fake. A person just asking people to take a free item that's untradeable then randomly asks for nudes?
@@RespectAllReligions777 if you chose to think that then fine, but unfortunately it's not. There is alot of dumb gullible kids on that game. I see alot fall for everything from trust trades to crosstrading (against their rules beacuse its easy to get scammed), even after being warned. And at the time alot of kids didn't know that it was locked behind very specific requirements to get the dragon (had to get "charms" to increase odds of getting the other two season dragons and then you got the 3rd free) or through buying it for anywhere between 1-2 million coins. I can't count how many kids would run over and ask to offer for mine, and then I had explain why they cant only for them to not understand.
@@bestgun9994 its a good engine but because of the overabundance of cheap rushed games (with possibly some cash grab elements) with the "made with unity" splash screen they put on the lower tier versions unity sort of got a bad rep. not unity's fault, really. but a bad rep nonetheless.

Wandering around aimlessly and relentlessly attacking anything that got close while very slowly building a shitty house. I could see how painfully boring it was and yet he kept playing.
As a Roblox Player myself, who frequents RP games you are extremely correct. Even games like Starship Roleplay: HCR-146 Emmissary (For Context, basically a Star Trek inspired Game.) or Neon District (Cyberpunk themed) Are usually swamped by these types of people. I've met a bunch of extremely interesting players with even more interesting characters, and then we have "Jacob/Angel/demon/god of creation/taken/engineer".

What's insane is the fact that it's nigh impossible to win lawsuits against such a big company, even if what they're doing is blatantly against the law.
I know right?? Roblox has billions (Worth more than Nintendo themselves) and yet they refuse to spend a penny on making their platform fair to practically everybody
I can’t believe that Charlie had to tell someone that letting children mess with thousands of real world dollars on a simulated stock market is a bad idea
If you're talking about real cash from their parents or their own wallets, thats on the parent. If you're talking about cash earned from a roblox game its iffy because it is revenue they earned for themselves. This system although not perfect has set some devs up with futures , given them the ability to go to college with the revenue they get. Like bruh.
@UCCVUUJVAcPhMVzbOHJezsYA i do think that roblox has to treat their developers more fairly, but it should be the parent's responsibility to watch over what their child does online
"Kids should not be hunting pedophiles in their own game" When I was in sprinkler Sophomore year of highschool, a bunch of guys got together and jumped one of our old teachers back at the Jr High for sexually harassing one of my buddy's little sisters over social media. He was too scared to tell anyone what happened, so we never got caught. There's some places in America where kids hunt pedophiles offline too.

As someone who played Roblox for almost my entire childhood up until I was 16 (a year ago), it is scary how many actual adults there are that play games on the site and run the "stock" market now. The game has gotten way more serious than just a silly kids game in a lot of instances. I got involved in some discord servers and games that were full of literal adults who enjoyed acting like children and playing with children. Super weird.
This is the exact reason why adults need to stay off made explicitly for kids online platforms as Active Users. Too much depravity in the world for that to ever be a good idea
I have a Classic T-Shirt that says cost "999 M" Robux, and when Tix was around it was "11 M" back from 2009, but due to me not having builders club, but I cant sell it at all
I have been saying this for awhile. Another thing is that Roblox is getting kids addicted to gambling at a young age. Everyone rips EA for their loot boxes but no one says anything about Roblox. The biggest game on Roblox is called adopt me, where players open up surprise eggs for pets, which have different rarities. Since Adopt Me brings in a lot of money, many other developers have implemented similar loot box mechanics into their Roblox games. Roblox doesn't care because they are making tons of money from Robux which kids buy to spend on these games.
Man, my sisters go crazy over Adopt Me. Luckily we don't have money for then to siphon, but if we did, they absolutely would spend every last dime. They're always talking about how the need Robux for legendary, neon flying unicorns and rats and what not. They have friends in game though who sometimes buys them these things though. It's crazy how addicted they are.
literally, that game got my friend addicted and i had to escape that shit right quick. she spent actual money on that shit, i had to nip my spending at avatar decor lol
Just watched this video. It's absolutely fucked, and while I respect Roblox as a game, this needs as much attention as possible to force the company to take action and truly speak out
when I was about 10, I was scammed out of about 6 limited items that I had no idea were worth roughly 5k combined. looking up the price of those items today was heartbreaking.

It's sad; being a game developer with almost no revenue. It's not really the fact that my game is terribly made (although that's really your opinion): the problem is how easily people on the website can judge games/hats/anything that has some value based off of the demand for it. Such as Roblox Stock and Commissions. The large cut that's taken from my game + the lack of many players has only led to almost an non-purchasable amount of money. I have almost lost profit from my game; as it takes money to advertise, market, etc. This is more of a selfish rant, but this is a way to show one of the bad sides about roblox. And sure, some kids may be sexualizing games on roblox with the lack of mental capacity and not thinking of consequences, but this is very rare compared to what I have said above. Thank you for reading this.

"Kids will play anything" is such a true statement. When I was in college for game development we had a few public school open houses. It could be anything from 5 year olds to 17 year olds about to graduate high school. Even my worst games that even I knew were buggy as hell (usually older projects I threw up on computers because why not) and they played it up! My favorite game project I made was a survival based synthwave space shooter that had upgrades as you went along and a huge stats list at the end. This one kid played it for 5 HOURS! He asked my professor and his parents if he could stay there longer to play it. I gave the kid a USB with the game on it and have his highscore saved on a picture somewhere. Which is wholesome but like I played the game less and I had to make it which included playtesting. They'll play anything and sometimes it's a refreshing thing for devs lol
The only flaw about that statement is that other roblox players aren't kids anymore. A portion of the players will choose a roblox game that has cool vfx, building designs, and graphics

The thing Charlie's missing is that you aren't allowed to take money out of the roblox nft market, they won't let you transfer unless it's from game dev. You have to do robux money laundering.
@@sabinajoh what you have to do is make a group with very expensive clothing, then buy that clothing so the group gets most of that Robux. Then sell the Robux to people by doing a payout when they join it. Roblox goes for half price like this and almost every game dev sells theirs to a site that does this
This video sheds so much light on that platform I played it as a kid and I play time to time with my nephew (he’s 6) and the platform itself is just so different

The problem is that nobody really ever takes ROBLOX seriously. Because it's a "LEGO game for kids." This statement is despite ROBLOX's increased spending on campaigns to market it to older teens, and the implementation of a voice chat system that requires photo-ID verification. The fact of the matter is, there are serious development companies who put out either a massive amount of shit or genuinely fun and well-structured games. Some of these CEOs genuinely do make upwards of a million dollars every year. It is not 2006 anymore, ROBLOX has changed. Companies with upwards of 100 staff members are producing content on the platform now. ROBLOX Corporate shut down the official forums and is allowing unregulated communication through third parties, and anyone who gets swept up in it is thrown under the bus if they are somehow mistreated. That being said, ROBLOX already mistreats its developers with the sorry state of the conversion rates between Robux and USD on Developer Exchange. There's not much to hope for, but maybe some affluent altruist will come along and bring up a case against ROBLOX after *their* child is subject to this unregulated bullshit.
Wanna know a fun fact about the Voice Chat and the Chat Filter in general? Somehow it's still all third party despite roblox themselves being a multi billionaire company who can damn well afford this shit on their own.
@@rhodiumvaledict3313 it’s for liability purposes. If there’s an info leak, the responsibility falls on the third party company, not on ROBLOX and their precious billions.
The most baffling thing about this situation is how hands-off ROBLOX is about everything. The only thing they contribute to the site is shitty updates to counter hack clients and exploits, as well as banning players who are a danger to their image and supply of cash. I'll be shocked if ROBLOX even gives a blanket, half-assed response to these issues on their platform.
They don't really update their anti-cheat, as exploits are already really limited. Also, they did respond, which is shown in this and the original video (around 1:28).
yeah, but the moderation isnt even roblox its the youtubers moderating, konekokitten has made videos helping his viewers get unbanned for dumb bans. then you also got the updates that literally have 0 point in them, catalog to avatar shop, library to creator marketplace, and develop to create.

I feel like Charlie thinks Roblox only takes 25%, and then compared it to Steam and thought it wasn't that bad...when they opposite is true. Roblox TAKES 75%, only gives the devs 25%.
@@gage8787 they take 30% from game revenue, but the rate they pay to exchange robux for usd is nearly 70% less than buying it, hence the 25% devs receive
The worst part is that so many people in our community defends the 77% cut that Roblox takes on the developer exchange rate. They say "rObLoX hOsTS tHE sErVerS fOr Us" NO! Many games like Steam, Zepeto, Core, and even other services like CZcams does the same thing, yet they still pay their creators and developers a fair share and they only take less than 50% of their revenue.
Roblox gives something much more valuable than platforms like Core. The playerbase. Roblox has bigger playerbase than Steam and unlike Steam users, Roblox players will play anything whether that will be rip-off of another game, "simulator" games or even basic obbys. I don't know how would you convince a Steam user to play a shitty Payday 2 or Minecraft rip-off, yet those games are very popular on Roblox
They way you should compare the platform’s cuts for marketplace, Steam takes 5% while Roblox takes 30% And for games, Steam takes 30% while Roblox takes 77% THATS INSANE
The difference is that roblox provides the game engine, server hosting, the website, advertising, a way to discover games, and much more. They got thousands of employees all working on their service. All of that is at least double the cost of what it costs to run steam, which is pretty much only a way to discover games.
@@xaddox7524 *"Roblox provides the game engine"* there are many free game engines out there argument invalid *"server hosting"* alright this makes sense *"the website"* 1. the website is mostly promoting their own assets 2. websites aren't hard to make and you can find free website creators / hosts *"advertising"* you have to pay even more money to advertise *"a way to discover games"* laughingstock of the community, the game discovery system is shit. all the games that ever get "discovered" are popular games. *"thousands of employees"* tbh all i ever see these guys doing is making roblox china, feel free to prove me wrong
This is not an actual tax, the tax is put in place to make trading and selling of robux more difficult to do, if there was no tax in place you could easily transfer robux to anyone using this system, this whole argument is an oxymoron as it was put in place to make black market trading and account phishing more difficult to do.
This has been going on for a long time on Roblox. Not only does Roblox have terrible moderation, sites issues, and issues with manipulating their young developers. One issue that hasn't been brought up is that Roblox offers no kind of anti cheat to the popular games that developers make on top of already taking a large cut of their money. Roblox actively does nothing about the exploiters on their platform. There's even a youtuber with over 132k subscribers called Sakpot, and all he does is teach children how to inject exploits/hacks through an executer. And who knows what these executables contain. And you can't even play popular FPS games on Roblox like bad business or phantom forces without there being an exploiter in every server. Even your squid game video was bombarded with exploiters trying to ruin the stream. Roblox rakes in all the cash and the developers are left without much protection of anything. Developers have even made their own anti cheat, but it still isn't enough.
while this is true they did atleast add a feature called filtering enable that doesn't allow people to inject whatever they want into the game including porn and shit which was doable on pretty much every game many years ago. it's mostly just limited the client and server side so you can only really manipulate your own clients view and values of stuff
@@gyrthez246 I've heard of this time and time again and it almost sounds like sarcasm. Either way the the anti cheat for pf is mediocre at best. I play it frequently and had 6 exploiters in a single game just the other day. If roblox had developed better anti cheat mechanisms then developers wouldn't even have to hire people that make popular exploits. It's absurd that developers had to even go to such lengths to try and prevent them. It just proves how terrible roblox is in implementing an anti cheat. For roblox to be valued in the billions as a company, they need to do more in preventing cheaters exploiting games on their platform.
They aren't raking in the cash Tho. That why their doing it. Roblox is actually in debt because believe it or not offering a entire game engine for free, running severs, moderating users, not allowing outside adds AND having a player base of small children isnt a good model to earn revenue.
my partner told me they banned their oldest from playing roblox for all the issues they saw (my partner is a gaming nerd too and the dad is too and also he works in IT so yeah they know what theyre doing). absolutely insane.
Man, Jack's story is the saddest shit. Guy made money but foolishly spent it cuz he didn't understand it, then got scammed and his work fucking nuked. I came to joke and shit, but fuck, I hope Jack's doing well. In the interview, he sounded okay. Still, god that hurt me and I can't even relate like that.
His story hit close to home for me. I used to sell VIP tshirts for the original build to survive creepers/Nyan cats when I was like 12 and I made almost 400000 robux, but I spent it all on catalog items and I seriously regret investing it or trading it on Devx... I literally resold all my limited items I bought to buy more customization for my character. I was such a naive kid lmao wish someone was there to teach me financial skills back then!
OMG and I also just remembered when Roblox had the robux/tix exchange for some reason in my stupid kid brain I thought trading robux to tix then back to robux gave me MORE robux and I kept doing that, but luckily my dad was in the room and asked what I was doing instead of playing games and he explained to me I was losing robux before I traded a lot more of it. Thank goodness they didn't let you trade all of your currency at once, kids really should not be allowed to manage large amounts of assets at such a young age!!!
I had an account falsely deleted for something someone else did. He got away with all of the money he made Meanwhile I, someone who didn't do anything breaking the rules, got my account deleted. I tried to get an appeal stating that they could check literally everything in my account and they wouldn't find any money being transferred without me receiving something Edit: forgot to mention; my account got deleted for USD trading but I never did. I paid robux for another players midnight blue sparkletime fedora. I paid 500,000 robux for it via a group t shirt, which was stupid, but I didn't know better and it was a good deal. At the time the fedora was worth around 800k. Edit: kinda did somewhat break a rule but it was a dumb rule. He said he was wanting funds to pay developers for a game and it would save him 30% because tax. I lost my account and all of my items for nothing I did.
Roblox is so weird it literally let’s people online day which is so unsafe for so many reasons but yet one time I almost got banned for saying “ goofy ahh”
Absolutely unreal that they can release an item, make it limited to increase its rarity and value, and then take 30% of any future transactions on the artificially inflated item being traded amongst children. This is unimaginably scummy and I have no clue how they haven't faced legal action.
@Plot ded I used to be a trader years ago, but you can never sell an item and get profit for your item unless it’s a rare item, and even then it barely sells. Trading will get you more profit than selling because you are able to trade for the value of that item.
@@chunkycheese5247 actually I used to trade a ton, people would snipe limiteds that are being sold for about 25% or more then sell later to make profit. So it was still possible to make profit from selling just crazy hard

i remember a time where i was boxed in a game by a dev for no reason and of course since i was on xbox i couldn't see texts or text at at all. and i was banned from playing any game.
I miss the days when roblox wasn’t money hungry and gave everyone a way to enjoy the game. Those were the days when tickets were still a thing to buy things out of the shop and the tag system wasn’t down everyone’s ass 24/7. It’s impossible to make a full sentence without something being tagged and banned right after because it’s somehow offensive but doesn’t tell us what is when there was no bad intent 🤦🏽♀️
I used to play roblox and I always noticed a theme with player avatars especially of they have expensive items such as a valkyrie which is just about 500 dollars which I learned usually means they are a adult or they are a thief.
The crazy thing is that this has been going on for over 10 years. It only just now started coming to light. Imagine how many children have been scammed and ripped off.
@@yesyes-om1po Kids working like slaves for their roblox games while a big fraction of what their making (if anything) goes towards roblox, that's only one part of it. There's so many malicious scammers which I know roblox can't control but its really infected the website
@@jinxxintraffic Sure, but that is the cycle, you benefit roblox by making a game that entertains people, and you make robux, the option to cash out robux was an afterthought, you aren't obligated to make the game, you can go without making one, you don't have to cash out.
@@yesyes-om1po yah but these are also children, and 99% of the time they dont know of the risks before they start making games, and when shit starts happening their little 10 yr brain is thinking these games are all i have and they end up in compromised positions attempting to hold onto it, because they are children who dont know better
As a long time player (dating back to 2010) this depresses me to see how greedy, exploitative and money hungry ROBLOX Corporation has grown. The game itself has improved drastically since then, but with the money earned from how large their game has gotten, they are a shell of what they used to be
in a top game where scammers dwell, adopt me, it has gotten so bad that when u type "scam" in the search bar the first thing that comes up is the game adopt me
The funny thing is that the second part (this video) still doesn’t even scratch the tip of the Roblox Iceberg. There so much scummy practices that are either caused by Roblox or is a result of their actions that you could easily make a 10+ video series about it.
The only problem that I see with this whole thing is that they don’t know or at least mention that Roblox doesn’t have a player base of only kids anymore. It still is mostly children but still, a great percentage of the player base are teens and adults nowadays and many of the most successful games are made by adults (in a team or on their own). Though the stuff the make can be appealing to children and adults. They don’t make the same mistakes as children do but they make different ones (all bad on different levels and come can be the level of being straight up creeps).
Hey I just noticed you're using an edited version of my profile picture. I happen to be the person that made it. May I ask where you got it from?

@@abby_babber Well actually, it's just a coincidence they look similar, your pfp has straight lines and goes diagonally to the left. OP's pfp goes diagonally to the right and the lines look like they were drawn in Microsoft paint, as they're incredibly uneven and the colours are not as fairly distributed as yours. In conclusion, don't be surprised when you come across someone with a pfp like that because it's really easy to make.
@@wrongteous I was thinking the same thing after I realized it. Turns out it came from a meme that Thirzy made and it was just a wild coincidence that they used the same color palette. I also considered that they could have edited the original image. Really weird that we both ended up with something so similar though. Edit: May I also add that I made my pfp with a really specific color palette in mind (the colors are directly taken from specific characters). While it's not incredibly unbelievable that someone could have used a similar palette, the fact that the colors are arranged exactly the same way (just in a different direction) and in the same order is absolutely mind boggling.
Steam: Takes 30% of revenue from developers. Roblox: Takes 75% of revenue from developers. How is that even ok in any sense? I mean Roblox has gambling, NFTs, and they still need 75% of developer revenue? Edit: Just remember you have to buy Robux which is a non-refundable in-game currency in the first place to buy anything in Roblox including things made by developers. So it is technically much higher than 75% of profit they make.
Roblox doesn't really have gambling systematically developers implement gambling but its mostly trading. But yeah I get what you mean. I just hate that they refer to it as a childrens game when its really teen / adult based now almost half and half with the amount of children on the platform. And if your argument is under 18, doesn't know what they're getting into , thats on the parents.
They handle server hosting, moderation, providing a huge audience, a platform where in game transactions can easily be made. They also have to handle the 30% in app purchases fee for the appstore
@@dumbanimenerd4169 Let's say 50% of the playerbase is 12 and under, being considered kids, while the rest are above. That means that teens, young adults, adults, and even the elderly, all put together, just come equal to the amount of kids playing. And you don't think it's a children's game?
those are just resale prices set by players themselves. I could go take any collectible item and sell it for a billion robux but it doesn’t mean the item is worth said price or that anyone will actually buy it for that price.
I just have to say Roblox’s moderation is the equivalent of somebody looking at a blank page and deciding your fate off that. I once got a warning for making a slightly political joke with no real intention to be political. Then there are the people in servers bypassing the chat filter and shouting racial slurs, and in Roblox’s eyes, this is perfectly fine. My friend wanted to make a realistic game, and there was a female character in it. There was nothing sexual about this character or model, and his account - with $100 worth of Robux got banned. And also, they made voice chat where you have to put a driver’s license in to have it, and people can search up former president’s Brack Obama drivers license, and you can use it and Roblox will allow it. Then there are games like build a boat where you can make your creations in game, and people can make the p hub logo, and tell people to search up the website. It truly baffles me how kids can be safe on this website, a website with scammers, and other malicious people, while being safe. Anyways my rant about Roblox is over.
@UglyBeast a scammer reported me because i tricked them into thinking i was gonna get scammed by them. And roblox gave me a warning, which isnt to bad but like. WHY?
Yeah I agree, I like this game but they really need to do better, they allow the stupidest things and then ban you for things that you shouldn't even be banned for....and yeah, you can litterally say anything In voice chat..which is definitely not good for kids, and why should you need to show your ID or driver's license 😅 idk it's just not a safe game even though it's targeted for kids....
@@uglybeast650 yeah but people are getting banned for dumb reasons, and roblox allows alot of bad stuff, that's the point. And why allow voice chat if they don't even allow swearing and such..it just makes no sense
That's actually lawyer BS 101. I read a recent story about some deplorable who became infamous. They got lawyers to reach out to a website hosting information about their crimes and they started with the exact same "you have made many errors in your understanding of our client". So glad that people are starting to see through that kind of shit and avoid being talked into self-censorship for Roblox's sake

Roblox's "by kids for kids" schtick worked fantastically in 2007, where the most you could do is make a cool car and then pretend it actually drove with absolutely no financial incentive. The platform already had a long history of garbage moderation (the admin panel got leaked several times and mass hackings were just the norm) so introducing monetisation was the killing stroke.
Sadly true. I played roblox for ALONG time by now, and seen some of the worst of the worst... I still play sometimes for kicks and giggles and to take a walk down memory lane, but other times I to try to protect these kids from creepy fucking perverts! I was playing Dragon Adventures at one point, and during an event someone said they were "giving away" a free dragon. I knew something was up and luckily no one said they wanted it. So I said I would take it, and they said they wanted nudes (obviously they couldn't actually say that but you knew what they ment).... I'm fucking glad I was there and saw them before a kid did... I know how desperate kids get on this game to get some rare item.
Also I knew something was up beacuse at that point, you could not trade the dragon they had, you could only buy it through in game auctions or win it from the event itself.
@@nova14414 Ngl i agree but you can't blame roblox for the perverts. They make so many words tagged. Having perverts in a kids game is surprisingly normal. Tik tok is mostly just kids and adults beating to girls dancing 💀. Also icl that story seems kinda fake. A person just asking people to take a free item that's untradeable then randomly asks for nudes?
@@RespectAllReligions777 if you chose to think that then fine, but unfortunately it's not. There is alot of dumb gullible kids on that game. I see alot fall for everything from trust trades to crosstrading (against their rules beacuse its easy to get scammed), even after being warned. And at the time alot of kids didn't know that it was locked behind very specific requirements to get the dragon (had to get "charms" to increase odds of getting the other two season dragons and then you got the 3rd free) or through buying it for anywhere between 1-2 million coins. I can't count how many kids would run over and ask to offer for mine, and then I had explain why they cant only for them to not understand.

I have been saying this for awhile. Another thing is that Roblox is getting kids addicted to gambling at a young age. Everyone rips EA for their loot boxes but no one says anything about Roblox. The biggest game on Roblox is called adopt me, where players open up surprise eggs for pets, which have different rarities. Since Adopt Me brings in a lot of money, many other developers have implemented similar loot box mechanics into their Roblox games. Roblox doesn't care because they are making tons of money from Robux which kids buy to spend on these games.
not to mention that Roblox also got rid of the free currency tix to get more people to spend money on robux. Roblox is extremely scummy
Man, my sisters go crazy over Adopt Me. Luckily we don't have money for then to siphon, but if we did, they absolutely would spend every last dime. They're always talking about how the need Robux for legendary, neon flying unicorns and rats and what not. They have friends in game though who sometimes buys them these things though.

It's sad; being a game developer with almost no revenue. It's not really the fact that my game is terribly made (although that's really your opinion): the problem is how easily people on the website can judge games/hats/anything that has some value based off of the demand for it. Such as Roblox Stock and Commissions. The large cut that's taken from my game + the lack of many players has only led to almost an non-purchasable amount of money. I have almost lost profit from my game; as it takes money to advertise, market, etc. This is more of a selfish rant, but this is a way to show one of the bad sides about roblox. And sure, some kids may be sexualizing games on roblox with the lack of mental capacity and not thinking of consequences, but this is very rare compared to what I have said above.

"Kids will play anything" is such a true statement.
When I was in college for game development we had a few public school open houses. It could be anything from 5 year olds to 17 year olds about to graduate high school.
Even my worst games that even I knew were buggy as hell (usually older projects I threw up on computers because why not) and they played it up!
My favorite game project I made was a survival based synthwave space shooter that had upgrades as you went along and a huge stats list at the end.
This one kid played it for 5 HOURS! He asked my professor and his parents if he could stay there longer to play it. I gave the kid a USB with the game on it and have his highscore saved on a picture somewhere. Which is wholesome but like I played the game less and I had to make it which included playtesting.
They'll play anything and sometimes it's a refreshing thing for devs lol

The problem is that nobody really ever takes ROBLOX seriously.
Because it's a "LEGO game for kids." This statement is despite ROBLOX's increased spending on campaigns to market it to older teens, and the implementation of a voice chat system that requires photo-ID verification. The fact of the matter is, there are serious development companies who put out either a massive amount of shit or genuinely fun and well-structured games. Some of these CEOs genuinely do make upwards of a million dollars every year.
It is not 2006 anymore, ROBLOX has changed. Companies with upwards of 100 staff members are producing content on the platform now. ROBLOX Corporate shut down the official forums and is allowing unregulated communication through third parties, and anyone who gets swept up in it is thrown under the bus if they are somehow mistreated. That being said, ROBLOX already mistreats its developers with the sorry state of the conversion rates between Robux and USD on Developer Exchange. There's not much to hope for, but maybe some affluent altruist will come along and bring up a case against ROBLOX after *their* child is subject to this unregulated bullshit.

Roblox to me is just cool math games, but shitty and money hungry
The most baffling thing about this situation is how hands-off ROBLOX is about everything. The only thing they contribute to the site is shitty updates to counter hack clients and exploits, as well as banning players who are a danger to their image and supply of cash.
I'll be shocked if ROBLOX even gives a blanket, half-assed response to these issues on their platform.
They don't care as long as they are making money. That's why they let games like adopt me get away with their loot box system
They don't really update their anti-cheat, as exploits are already really limited. Also, they did respond, which is shown in this and the original video (around 1:28).
yeah, but the moderation isnt even roblox its the youtubers moderating, konekokitten has made videos helping his viewers get unbanned for dumb bans. then you also got the updates that literally have 0 point in them, catalog to avatar shop, library to creator marketplace, and develop to create.
@@klasrem Konekokitten is a horrible source of factual information. Most commentary channels are the same, because their whole deal is to express their opinion on a topic, not provide factual info. Channels like PMG are better in the sense that they start as a news/journalist group.

Rofatnik unironically sounds like an insult they'd write into the game and have Sonic say.
The worst part is that so many people in our community defends the 77% cut that Roblox takes on the developer exchange rate. They say "rObLoX hOsTS tHE sErVerS fOr Us" NO! Many games like Steam, Zepeto, Core, and even other services like CZcams does the same thing, yet they still pay their creators and developers a fair share and they only take less than 50% of their revenue.
And they're still worth billions despite being far less exploitative. Not saying they're morally sound though.
Rare to see you here. You are a good person for telling us about new roblox promocodes.
@Acid Drool wat
Roblox gives something much more valuable than platforms like Core. The playerbase. Roblox has bigger playerbase than Steam and unlike Steam users, Roblox players will play anything whether that will be rip-off of another game, "simulator" games or even basic obbys. I don't know how would you convince a Steam user to play a shitty Payday 2 or Minecraft rip-off, yet those games are very popular on Roblox
Also CZcams and fair share shouldn't be used in the same sentence
They way you should compare the platform’s cuts for marketplace, Steam takes 5% while Roblox takes 30%
And for games, Steam takes 30% while Roblox takes 77%
THATS INSANE
The difference is that roblox provides the game engine, server hosting, the website, advertising, a way to discover games, and much more. They got thousands of employees all working on their service. All of that is at least double the cost of what it costs to run steam, which is pretty much only a way to discover games.

*"the website"*

2. websites aren't hard to make and you can find free website creators / hosts
*"advertising"*
you have to pay even more money to advertise
*"a way to discover games"*
laughingstock of the community, the game discovery system is shit. all the games that ever get "discovered" are popular games.
*"thousands of employees"*
tbh all i ever see these guys doing is making roblox china, feel free to prove me wrong
yeah Charlie didn't get that, he thought they took 23%, not 77%.
This is not an actual tax, the tax is put in place to make trading and selling of robux more difficult to do, if there was no tax in place you could easily transfer robux to anyone using this system, this whole argument is an oxymoron as it was put in place to make black market trading and account phishing more difficult to do.
i never thought i'd hear the words "kids should not be hunting paedophiles." i feel like that should go without saying...
i thought this was a pyrocinical video with the title being ``huge ____ drama´´
This has been going on for a long time on Roblox. Not only does Roblox have terrible moderation, sites issues, and issues with manipulating their young developers. One issue that hasn't been brought up is that Roblox offers no kind of anti cheat to the popular games that developers make on top of already taking a large cut of their money. Roblox actively does nothing about the exploiters on their platform. There's even a youtuber with over 132k subscribers called Sakpot, and all he does is teach children how to inject exploits/hacks through an executer. And who knows what these executables contain. And you can't even play popular FPS games on Roblox like bad business or phantom forces without there being an exploiter in every server. Even your squid game video was bombarded with exploiters trying to ruin the stream. Roblox rakes in all the cash and the developers are left without much protection of anything. Developers have even made their own anti cheat, but it still isn't enough.
while this is true they did atleast add a feature called filtering enable that doesn't allow people to inject whatever they want into the game including porn and shit which was doable on pretty much every game many years ago. it's mostly just limited the client and server side so you can only really manipulate your own clients view and values of stuff
Fun fact; Phantom Forces have the best anti cheat on Roblox as they hire(d) developers of popular exploits to help develop the anti cheat detection.
@@gyrthez246 I've heard of this time and time again and it almost sounds like sarcasm. Either way the the anti cheat for pf is mediocre at best. I play it frequently and had 6 exploiters in a single game just the other day. If roblox had developed better anti cheat mechanisms then developers wouldn't even have to hire people that make popular exploits. It's absurd that developers had to even go to such lengths to try and prevent them. It just proves how terrible roblox is in implementing an anti cheat. For roblox to be valued in the billions as a company, they need to do more in preventing cheaters exploiting games on their platform.
They aren't raking in the cash Tho. That why their doing it. Roblox is actually in debt because believe it or not offering a entire game engine for free, running severs, moderating users, not allowing outside adds AND having a player base of small children isnt a good model to earn revenue.
my partner told me they banned their oldest from playing roblox for all the issues they saw (my partner is a gaming nerd too and the dad is too and also he works in IT so yeah they know what theyre doing). absolutely insane.
Man, Jack's story is the saddest shit. Guy made money but foolishly spent it cuz he didn't understand it, then got scammed and his work fucking nuked. I came to joke and shit, but fuck, I hope Jack's doing well. In the interview, he sounded okay. Still, god that hurt me and I can't even relate like that.
His story hit close to home for me. I used to sell VIP tshirts for the original build to survive creepers/Nyan cats when I was like 12 and I made almost 400000 robux, but I spent it all on catalog items and I seriously regret investing it or trading it on Devx... I literally resold all my limited items I bought to buy more customization for my character. I was such a naive kid lmao wish someone was there to teach me financial skills back then!
OMG and I also just remembered when Roblox had the robux/tix exchange for some reason in my stupid kid brain I thought trading robux to tix then back to robux gave me MORE robux and I kept doing that, but luckily my dad was in the room and asked what I was doing instead of playing games and he explained to me I was losing robux before I traded a lot more of it. Thank goodness they didn't let you trade all of your currency at once, kids really should not be allowed to manage large amounts of assets at such a young age!!!
I had an account falsely deleted for something someone else did. He got away with all of the money he made
Meanwhile I, someone who didn't do anything breaking the rules, got my account deleted. I tried to get an appeal stating that they could check literally everything in my account and they wouldn't find any money being transferred without me receiving something
Edit: forgot to mention; my account got deleted for USD trading but I never did. I paid robux for another players midnight blue sparkletime fedora. I paid 500,000 robux for it via a group t shirt, which was stupid, but I didn't know better and it was a good deal.
At the time the fedora was worth around 800k.
Edit: kinda did somewhat break a rule but it was a dumb rule.
He said he was wanting funds to pay developers for a game and it would save him 30% because tax.
I lost my account and all of my items for nothing I did.
The thing which irked me in their first video is just their proof is.
“This one kid in ms paint with a stupid argument2
Roblox is so weird it literally let’s people online day which is so unsafe for so many reasons but yet one time I almost got banned for saying “ goofy ahh”
Absolutely unreal that they can release an item, make it limited to increase its rarity and value, and then take 30% of any future transactions on the artificially inflated item being traded amongst children. This is unimaginably scummy and I have no clue how they haven't faced legal action.
Littrally money farming
most traders dont sell though, they trade the items, there is no selling for profit
@Plot ded I used to be a trader years ago, but you can never sell an item and get profit for your item unless it’s a rare item, and even then it barely sells. Trading will get you more profit than selling because you are able to trade for the value of that item.
@@chunkycheese5247 actually I used to trade a ton, people would snipe limiteds that are being sold for about 25% or more then sell later to make profit. So it was still possible to make profit from selling just crazy hard
I mean but what can they do at this point remove it then what about all of the money they owe people?
This shit is insane. this is why I've always been against microtransactions but I had no idea ROBLOX is THIS terrible

I miss the days when roblox wasn’t money hungry and gave everyone a way to enjoy the game. Those were the days when tickets were still a thing to buy things out of the shop and the tag system wasn’t down everyone’s ass 24/7. It’s impossible to make a full sentence without something being tagged and banned right after because it’s somehow offensive but doesn’t tell us what is when there was no bad intent 🤦🏽♀️
I got temp banned for saying "Wazahhh" to my friend while playing PF fucking stupid
I had 13k tickets back then and then they removed them I was so mad bruh
PlayStation is very similar they are so sensitive now.I miss last year when i wasn’t so close to getting perma banned for saying gay or retard.

@@yesyes-om1po yah but these are also children, and 99% of the time they dont know of the risks before they start making games, and when shit starts happening their little 10 yr brain is thinking these games are all i have and they end up in compromised positions attempting to hold onto it, because they are children who dont know better

As a long time player (dating back to 2010) this depresses me to see how greedy, exploitative and money hungry ROBLOX Corporation has grown. The game itself has improved drastically since then, but with the money earned from how large their game has gotten, they are a shell of what they used to be
The engine is better but the entire company is terrible now. They aren't good at managing the engine, let alone the entire platform
Same, I remember when they removed tix. Which is probably when they grew more money hungry
it all changed when erik died and shedletsky left
@@dot558 i could be semi-rich on roblox if tix hadn't been removed

I remember once, if you typed up "scam". it came up with adopt me. i even have video evidence 🖐️ 😭
in a top game where scammers dwell, adopt me, it has gotten so bad that when u type "scam" in the search bar the first thing that comes up is the game adopt me
The funny thing is that the second part (this video) still doesn’t even scratch the tip of the Roblox Iceberg. There so much scummy practices that are either caused by Roblox or is a result of their actions that you could easily make a 10+ video series about it.

It's pretty depressing how the platform looks squeaky clean but rips off all their players.
Wdym by ripoff?
people set up bots to find and instantly buy a limited for a low price and then its traded to the main account
The only problem that I see with this whole thing is that they don’t know or at least mention that Roblox doesn’t have a player base of only kids anymore. It still is mostly children but still, a great percentage of the player base are teens and adults nowadays and many of the most successful games are made by adults (in a team or on their own). Though the stuff the make can be appealing to children and adults. They don’t make the same mistakes as children do but they make different ones (all bad on different levels and come can be the level of being straight up creeps).

Hey I just noticed you're using an edited version of my profile picture. I happen to be the person that made it. May I ask where you got it from? Kinda crazy seeing it on someone else's profile considering I made it for myself and haven't really done anything that would warrant it being spread around that easily.

@@abby_babber Well actually, it's just a coincidence they look similar, your pfp has straight lines and goes diagonally to the left. OP's pfp goes diagonally to the right and the lines look like they were drawn in Microsoft paint, as they're incredibly uneven and the colours are not as fairly distributed as yours. In conclusion, don't be surprised when you come across someone with a pfp like that because it's really easy to make.
@@wrongteous I was thinking the same thing after I realized it. Turns out it came from a meme that Thirzy made and it was just a wild coincidence that they used the same color palette. I also considered that they could have edited the original image. Really weird that we both ended up with something so similar though.
Edit: May I also add that I made my pfp with a really specific color palette in mind (the colors are directly taken from specific characters). While it's not incredibly unbelievable that someone could have used a similar palette, the fact that the colors are arranged exactly the same way (just in a different direction) and in the same order is absolutely mind boggling.
@@abby_babber well i meant alot of people may have the same palette as you or have the same design as you.

Steam: Takes 30% of revenue from developers.
Roblox: Takes 75% of revenue from developers.
How is that even ok in any sense? I mean Roblox has gambling, NFTs, and they still need 75% of developer revenue?
Edit: Just remember you have to buy Robux which is a non-refundable in-game currency in the first place to buy anything in Roblox including things made by developers. So it is technically much higher than 75% of profit they make.
Roblox doesn't really have gambling systematically developers implement gambling but its mostly trading. But yeah I get what you mean. I just hate that they refer to it as a childrens game when its really teen / adult based now almost half and half with the amount of children on the platform.
And if your argument is under 18, doesn't know what they're getting into , thats on the parents.
They handle server hosting, moderation, providing a huge audience, a platform where in game transactions can easily be made. They also have to handle the 30% in app purchases fee for the appstore
is more becuse of other shit that thy have
@@dumbanimenerd4169 Let's say 50% of the playerbase is 12 and under, being considered kids, while the rest are above. That means that teens, young adults, adults, and even the elderly, all put together, just come equal to the amount of kids playing.
And you don't think it's a children's game?
roblox does not have their own official nfts
the items aren’t valued by the insta sell price, those are usually very inflated for rare items as the owner can set the sell price
"Jacks learning unity now" he really cant catch a break
There's not a single damn reason why in-game items should cost this much
those are just resale prices set by players themselves. I could go take any collectible item and sell it for a billion robux but it doesn’t mean the item is worth said price or that anyone will actually buy it for that price.
It's probably the resell value set by players
**Looks slowly towards Valve**
Well when roblox takes 30% off everything theyre prob gonna up the price on their own items to even get anything
@@BlueRGuyThe Golden Frying Pan may actually be cheaper than some Roblox limited items.
I just have to say Roblox’s moderation is the equivalent of somebody looking at a blank page and deciding your fate off that. I once got a warning for making a slightly political joke with no real intention to be political. Then there are the people in servers bypassing the chat filter and shouting racial slurs, and in Roblox’s eyes, this is perfectly fine. My friend wanted to make a realistic game, and there was a female character in it. There was nothing sexual about this character or model, and his account - with $100 worth of Robux got banned. And also, they made voice chat where you have to put a driver’s license in to have it, and people can search up former president’s Brack Obama drivers license, and you can use it and Roblox will allow it. Then there are games like build a boat where you can make your creations in game, and people can make the p hub logo, and tell people to search up the website. It truly baffles me how kids can be safe on this website, a website with scammers, and other malicious people, while being safe. Anyways my rant about Roblox is over.
the moderators only look at your chat logs when someone reports you, so if someone doesn’t report someone else they will never get banned
Once I drew a drawing for a decal and got banned for a month, it wasnt even inappropriate
@UglyBeast a scammer reported me because i tricked them into thinking i was gonna get scammed by them. And roblox gave me a warning, which isnt to bad but like. WHY?
Yeah I agree, I like this game but they really need to do better, they allow the stupidest things and then ban you for things that you shouldn't even be banned for....and yeah, you can litterally say anything In voice chat..which is definitely not good for kids, and why should you need to show your ID or driver's license 😅 idk it's just not a safe game even though it's targeted for kids....
@@uglybeast650 yeah but people are getting banned for dumb reasons, and roblox allows alot of bad stuff, that's the point. And why allow voice chat if they don't even allow swearing and such..it just makes no sense
