Mary Pezzulo (@mary_pezzulo) reportedJimmy's boy came over and was disappointed that our TV is broken and we don't have any video games. But then he and Adrienne invented a game where Adrienne throws the football and JB tries to hit it with the broom since we don't have a bat, and that was more fun than Roblox.

Boi (@BoiJr27) reported@ArixGamingYT @Roblox_RTC I saw stuff like bots easily create condos games in a SECOND. Banning the games is not a hard thing to do. But the second game get banned another one takes it place. Theres like discord servers create condos games on ONE CLICK. Roblox needs to solve this bot problem

thatonekitsune.bsky.social // キツネ (@ThatOneK1tsune) reported@Roblox @DavidBaszucki Me and @MizakeMino have been trying to get his Roblox account fixed due to your age verification service provider having a malfunction which caused his ID's Iussed Date to be read as his DoB, which put him in the "Under 9" age group, when he is 25 years old

Steve Jacobs (@encro) reported@ParamSiddh I think this is a 3rd parry verification service, Roblox seems to use the exact same.

The Rug Doctor (@Clit_Yeastwould) reportedPlease don't lecture me on the state of early access games. I have over 10,000 hours playing the most broken, ugly, and unfinished games on Roblox with my kids and at some point, it becomes abundantly clear which devs care and which devs don't.

Zero. (@cirogalli) reported@nofknusernames @MyLordBebo Roblox has safety issues like any large online platform with millions of users, and it does moderation and reporting, though it’s not perfect. But claims that specific companies “allow and protect predators” or that ownership by investors are nonsense.

Lomeno (@Lomeno154311) reported@Roblox The crown isn't given, but my ID-verified account '8owyr' was TAKEN. 45 days of silence and ignoring BBB Complaint #24732963 isn't 'claiming the crown', it's a major security failure. Fix your support before hosting events. #Roblox #RobloxHacked @Roblox @Roblox_Education

Cosmo Dawg (@DaCosmoDawg) reported@agony_addict Tbh I guess I can see how your post may have cause these issues but at the same time it's very improfessional as a person part of a dev team behind one of the biggest games (on roblox) to go into someones discord server and publicly talk **** to them.

Gareth Humphreys (@gazaloid) reportedYour weakest link isn’t yours. A story broke this week about a Context AI employee who downloaded a Roblox cheat script in February. By April, cloud provider Vercel’s internal database was on sale online. Here’s what happened, in brief: The Context AI employee’s machine got infected via the Roblox game exploit. Attackers harvested their Google Workspace credentials. From there they pivoted into Context AI’s AWS environment and grabbed OAuth tokens for their customers. One of those customers? A Vercel employee who’d signed up for Context’s AI Office Suite with his enterprise Google account and clicked “Allow All” on permissions. That single click gave the attackers a foothold in Vercel’s Google Workspace. They moved laterally, pulled environment variables that weren’t explicitly marked as sensitive, and ended up listing Vercel’s internal database on BreachForums for $2m. Vercel didn’t do anything wrong, in the traditional sense. No unpatched server. No weak password. No phishing click by one of their own. They just trusted a vendor, whose vendor trusted an employee. Who downloaded a game cheat. This isn’t an outlier. We have several clients who’ve fell foul of the same sort of exploit. One notably paid a multi-million ransom to the attackers (in Bitcoin of course). Most organisations still treat third-party risk as a procurement exercise via a questionnaire at onboarding. I know this because we’ve filled-in two of these comprehensive questionnaires this week alone. Maybe there’s a SOC 2 report on file too. Or maybe there’s an annual review if someone remembers. That model was built for a world where “vendor” meant the people supplying your payroll software on-prem. It doesn’t work in a world where your marketing team has signed up for 40 AI tools you’ve never heard of and every one of those tools has OAuth access to your Google Workspace or M365. Those automated note takers are one good example; every time someone sends Otter or Fireflies or Granola note takers to your meeting, there’s a chance you’ll have to authorise them for your tenant and login to them if you want to see the minutes. So now you trust them by association rather than by design. Or when Your developers are pulling packages from npm and PyPI into production. Or when your “sensitive” environment variables and API keys are being shared repeatedly with a multitude of LLMs. The attack surface isn’t your perimeter anymore. It’s every trust relationship your organisation has ever casually granted and forgotten about.

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedRoblox is a $42.76 billion company. They don't own a single game. Michael's reaction is common. The valuation makes sense. Let me explain how. Here's what Roblox actually owns. Roblox owns the platform. The engine. The user accounts. The payment system. The discovery mechanism. Users create games using Roblox tools. Roblox provides infrastructure. When players spend real money on Robux (in-game currency), Roblox takes approximately 70% of revenue. Developers keep approximately 30% — and that's after hitting specific thresholds. For the specific economics, framework applies. Roblox 2025 revenue: approximately $3.5 billion. 71 million daily active users. Approximately 7 billion hours of engagement per quarter. Dominant position in specific children's gaming demographic. Average revenue per user approximately $50 annually. Platform economics fundamentally different from game publisher economics. For the specific developer split, framework matters. Roblox developer gets approximately $0.35 per dollar players spend. Roblox gets approximately $0.65 per dollar. Compare to Apple App Store: developer gets $0.70, Apple gets $0.30. Roblox specifically captures substantially more of the value than app stores. Developers accept because alternative distribution specifically doesn't reach Roblox audience. Classic platform lock-in dynamic. For specific UGC (User Generated Content) economics, framework applies. YouTube pioneered. Content creators generate value. Platform captures substantial share. TikTok followed similar model. Roblox applies to gaming specifically. User creates content. Platform captures value. Platform valuation reflects captured value, not content itself. For specific platform valuation framework, framework applies. Not valuing the games on Roblox. Valuing the platform's ability to extract value from specific game creation activity. Similar to valuing Apple's App Store business rather than specific apps. Similar to valuing YouTube's business rather than specific YouTube channels. Platform businesses capture specific network effects. For specific Roblox moat, framework matters. Network effects: more users attract more developers attract more users. Classic flywheel. Infrastructure investment: specific development tools represent substantial specific investment. Developer relationships: specific top developers have specific platform-specific audiences. User investment: players have specific Robux balances and specific friend networks on platform. Each moat specifically real. Combined substantial. For specific competitive threats, framework applies. Fortnite offers similar UGC possibilities through specific Unreal Editor. Minecraft has specific modding community. Specific metaverse platforms attempt similar positioning. None specifically match Roblox's specific children's demographic lock. Competition possible. Disruption difficult. For specific user demographics, framework applies. Roblox user base: approximately 60% under age 16. Specific children's spending on specific digital goods substantial. Parents specifically approve spending because platform feels specifically safer than alternatives. Demographic specifically sticky. Children specifically age up but new children specifically replace. Generational business. For specific content moderation challenges, framework matters. Children's platform specifically requires specific moderation. Various specific issues documented: specific inappropriate content, specific grooming concerns, specific scam games. Roblox specifically invests in moderation. Specific incidents generate specific backlash. Platform specifically navigates substantial specific risks. Managing specifically well enough to maintain growth. For specific investor considerations, framework applies. Roblox (RBLX) stock: volatile. Periodic controversies affect specific price. Long-term thesis: children-focused platform with specific network effects. Risk: specific content moderation failure, specific competitive disruption, specific demographic shift. Valuation at 12x revenue: specific premium. Reflects specific growth expectations. For comparable valuations, framework applies. Unity (U): game engine. Developer tools but no platform specifically. Take-Two (TTWO): publisher. Owns specific games. EA (EA): publisher. Owns specific games. Activision Blizzard (now MSFT subsidiary): owned specific games. Each different business model. Different specific valuation logic. Roblox specifically more like Meta or YouTube than like traditional game publisher. For specific platform economics generally, framework applies. Platforms create specific value. Capture specific substantial portion. Developers/creators specifically do work. Platform specifically profits substantially from their work. Fair? Specifically debated. Platform provides real value (discovery, payment, infrastructure). Extractive? Specifically substantial share of revenue goes to platform. Both observations accurate. For specific Roblox future questions, framework applies. Generative AI potentially disrupts specific game creation. If AI makes specific game creation specifically easier, platform's value proposition changes. Possibly enables specific more creators. Possibly commoditizes specific creation. Uncertain trajectory. For specific Roblox specifically benefiting from AI, framework applies. Roblox already integrating specific AI tools for creators. Goal: expand specific creator base with specific AI assistance. More creators means more games means more user engagement. Potential substantial platform growth. For specific player experience, framework applies. Roblox offers specific diverse specific game experiences. Some specifically high quality. Many specifically low quality. Discovery mechanism specifically imperfect. Player value varies substantially by specific games chosen. For specific parent considerations, framework applies. Monitor specific child spending on Robux. Use specific parental controls available. Discuss specific safety considerations. Platform use can be specifically beneficial for specific creative children. For specific Michael's reaction, framework applies. Initial reaction common. "They don't own a game — how?" Understanding: they own platform that captures value from games. Platform companies specifically more valuable than specific content companies typically. Reality specifically counter-intuitive but specifically consistent with specific business fundamentals. Roblox at $42.76B is a specific platform business valuation. Not overvalued for specific platform capturing specific percentage of specific engagement economy. Not undervalued either given specific moderation risks and specific competitive threats. Fair valuation for specific current business. Future depends on specific AI integration, specific competition, specific moderation success. Platform businesses win. Content businesses serve platforms. This is how specific digital economy increasingly works. Learn to recognize specific pattern. It specifically matters for specific investment and specific career decisions.

Nights Decay (@Mrorange303) reported@Xvault2 COD is a live service game that sells tons of copies. Those games are platforms in themselves. Not every game is a Roblox. Fortnite. COD. Xbox can get comparable numbers in the big game space with COD. What does your great plan do for those games that were in GP and didn’t do well but the studio still survived because Game Pass still supports and supported them because of the model. Especially knowing people like you will attack those games while out of game pass like dogs. Then you would try to attack them putting it into game pass. Then when it went to PlayStation it would top the charts. Your whole community would say it’s good now because it’s on PlayStation.

Mr higanste (@higanste) reportedJust in: SpaceX is nearing a deal with Cursor - wait, what?

WhatsHisNuts (@OleWhatsHisNuts) reported@zerohedge Roblox ****** up and needed to be forced to fix it. Glad they were. But $36M in hush money to three state AGs who suffered zero harm, while not a single harmed child sees a dime? That's not justice. That's a government-run shakedown with a press release.
