    Sure. That’s great news for everyone who doesn’t know how damaging Roblox is. It’s a platform, rife with child abusers, that’s designed to exploit the labour of the children they are exposing to predators. They know it’s happening, there’s been loads of exposés and lawsuits. And yet they do nothing because they make a shit load of money.

    I know you were joking, and almost certainly not intending “Roblox with titties” as actually a good thing…but it’s exactly what they want. They want to make all the money from users being paid either nothing or a fraction of what CockStar is pulling off their work.

    We’re in the Biff-Timeline, Marty! I hate it, and I don’t know how we fix it…

      Ya I’m aware of how messed up Roblox is. I went on it once to experience it. It seems like rockstar saw this and thought “let’s make it less square and more titty”.

        Pretty sure what they saw was the sacks and sacks in fat stacks of cash that Roblox and Fortnite pull in. Like GTA-O wasn’t monetised enough…

        Anyway, this conversation is getting me riled up, so as an aside…I fucking love pierogi!
