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.
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".
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.
