Fucking hell...40%. Sweet jeez. So roblox is just a platform where people mod their own game? Like "Gerry's mod"? Guess I finally have to check it out just to check it out.
Thanks for the summary!
Yeah GMod is a good comparison, but it's more powerful and you can do a lot more stuff, even replace the player characters and UI elements other than one menu. They also have a lot more infrastructure like a marketplace (for both developer assets and avatar items). But it's also more exploitative:
With that revenue they have to be predatory and exploitative. You can't make so much money with being nice 🫤
Predatory as in Fortnite, not blanket pedophilia
Don't. That place is a sexual cesspool.
That is the absolute least description i imagined for that game-thing that is aimed at kids 😟
I thought so too. Until I found out that the most popular and high earning instances are the sex ones.
That is just....I don't even know. It's so absurd. Yet I'm misanthropical and cynical enough to surely imagine it's true. I won't check...it would just be another "click"/user they don't deserve.
Ya, they're getting used right now because those bigger instances lead to the nastier ones. PSA those aren't the biggest.
Off the top of my head, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grow_a_Garden and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_a_Brainrot, the actual (record-shattering) top earners, are not "sex ones".
