Roblox is just knockoff exploitative gmod. Only reason it keeps going is because its free to download.

More annoyed it hasn't been banned or sued under other consumer protection laws.

You are smoking crack if you think Roblox is a gmod knockoff, but everything else, unfortunately, yeah. I played Roblox in 2012 and it was pretty fun at 11 years old but the pay2win stuff was out of control even back then.

There were a few weird roleplay servers but back then it really just felt like "playing house" online, but the fact that anyone regardless of age could hop in at any time and send socials was fucking weird to me even as a kid.

It needs a serious rework of how the platform works if they want to continue marketing themselves as for children. The game has seen barely any safety improvements from what I've seen of current gameplay and mfs are wilin on the internet nowadays
