The enshittification of Roblox must be studied

My 13 yr old pines for the games of 2018, when she didn’t have to pay to play

checked out Roblox on an old account today and its crazy how much it changed

roulettes, gachas, loot boxes, microtransactions everywhere + daily check loops

a generation of hyper gamblers is being groomed

theres even game studios buying out solo devs to add max extraction https://t.co/zALxRpNFbt

It’s bad. There are good games on there but the stuff that is popular is all RP / Gacha stuff that has no point. Which suggests that the users are driving the shift.

Yeah, and the ‘Indy’ games that used to have pmf and good economies have either sold to bigger management companies or just gone dark and left the games broken and rotting
