Tall Cow (@tallcowyt) reported@Roblox @FIMUSFIM Please make sure to also fix the stupid alt account enforcement bans. They are inherently flawed considering no one can even play Roblox on any public network without fear of being falsely banned. I’m talking schools, hotels, shopping malls… Honestly the best way is to just scrap it. They do much more harm than good, and it doesn’t even stop actual malicious people from using the platform as they can easily bypass it. Please Roblox, think about all your good players, and make the right decision.

Orietta Rose 🇺🇲 (@0riettaRose) reported@xoHouNai Unfortunately a lot of predators use Roblox knowing kids are on it. There's a lot of inappropriate user-made content on there. The open chat feature is a huge problem, especially.

JC (@1960NH) reported$RBLX @stocktwits Roblox is increasingly looking like a classic “story stock” that keeps failing to justify its own narrative. At its core, the investment case has always depended on one fragile assumption: that user-generated content and platform scale would eventually translate into durable, high-margin profits. Years later, that still hasn’t happened—and the gap between expectations and reality is widening, not closing. Why the investment case looks broken 1. Growth is no longer enough—and it’s not even meeting expectations anymore Even in quarters where revenue rises year over year, Roblox repeatedly fails to clear Wall Street expectations. That matters because this stock isn’t priced on “growth exists”—it’s priced on growth exceeding very aggressive forecasts. Missing those targets, especially by large margins, signals that the platform’s monetization engine is weaker than assumed. 2. Losses are structural, not temporary Despite scale, Roblox continues to post meaningful losses. This is not a young startup investing for growth—it is a multi-billion-dollar revenue company that still cannot demonstrate operating leverage. The longer this persists, the more it looks like a fundamental margin ceiling problem, not timing. 3. Guidance undermines the entire growth story Forward expectations matter more than the past, and Roblox’s guidance repeatedly undercuts analyst optimism. When management signals slower-than-expected revenue ahead, it suggests either: demand is weakening, or prior expectations were simply unrealistic Either interpretation is negative for valuation. 4. Monetization efficiency is disappointing Roblox has massive engagement, but engagement is not translating into proportional monetization. In other words, users spend time on the platform, but the company still struggles to extract enough revenue per user to justify its valuation multiple. 5. The stock is priced for perfection—but executing like a mid-tier growth company This is the core mismatch. Roblox trades like a high-growth, high-margin platform business, but reports like a company still fighting basic monetization constraints. That gap creates repeated disappointment cycles: high expectations → miss/soft guide → sharp selloff. Bottom line Roblox is not failing as a business—but it is failing as an investment relative to its valuation narrative. The company looks stuck in an uncomfortable middle ground: too large to be treated like an early-stage hypergrowth story, but not efficient enough to be valued like a mature platform. Until Roblox proves it can consistently: meet or beat high growth expectations convert scale into real operating leverage and show a credible path to sustained profitability …it will likely remain a structurally disappointing stock where optimism keeps outrunning results.

Black Background With Blue Hat With White Outline (@INVADERINV43791) reportedon second thought this probably isn't the case, I'm not getting any emails from roblox about a new login, I think it really is just a case of incompetency

Barrello ✝️ (@chubshrub) reportedLol this is like the second or third time this problem has happened. I guess Roblox is too busy suing predator catchers and trying to be seen as a legitimate game engine to actually make their game good.

Simeon's Art (Roblox=simonethesadboy) (@Simeoncreations) reported@xxx1169670 @Roblox I share the a with 3 people in my household and believe me I don't want to get banned if they do. Roblox fix this it's a huge issue

SolWhale.sol (@Forcenito_) reported$RBLX A Real Test of the Consolidation Floor Roblox just gave back two years of gains. After Friday's 18% gap-down post-earnings, RBLX sits at $45 testing the top of its 2022-2024 consolidation zone and down 70% from its $150 ATH. The Q1 2026 print was genuinely mixed. Revenue missed at $1.44B vs $1.74B expected, but the underlying platform metrics were strong: DAU grew 35% to 132M, bookings rose 43%, and free cash flow surged 40% YoY to $ 596M. The selloff came from management cutting 2026 bookings guidance from 24% to 8-12%, attributing the cut to mandatory age verification and algorithm changes designed to improve child safety. The bear case is real. BofA slashed PT from $165 to $48. JPM and Morgan Stanley followed. Forward P/E sits at 192x with no room for further misses. Real competition exists from Epic's UEFN and Microsoft's Minecraft, not just TTWO. The bull case: 132M users isn't a broken platform. Safety measures are deliberate near-term costs for long-term franchise protection. Management expects DAU stabilization and growth resumption by Q3 2026. $ 596M of FCF is real and growing. Risk-reward at $45: Long-term stop $28-30 (full consolidation breakdown). Swing stop $41.75 (Friday's intraday low). Upside to $55-65 if guidance stabilizes by Q3.

Cruisezy Playz (@CruisezyPlayz) reported@haz3m_ Genuinely the stupidest thing Roblox has ever done. Pls Donate has contributed so much to the Roblox community and revenue. This is such a useless and unreasonable change to the platform. The fact that yall weren't notified about this Roblox update which Roblox themselves most likely thought through before taking this change into consideration is crazy. Roblox definitely should have talk to yall about this issue. The reasons they gave were also hella unreasaonble and unbeneficial. Roblox should 100% work out a solution with the amount of devs that will be impacted by this situation.

Jennie’s been hypnotized by cocona🧜♀️ (@The7deadlyangel) reported@ZelSnea But my point is I don’t really like Roblox soo and I never played fornite. I had anger/rage issues as a kid and I knew I’d rage to it so I never played sooo idk what you want me to do?

JC (@1960NH) reported$RBLX @stocktwits $RBLX falling apart Roblox just delivered the kind of quarter that exposes how fragile its growth story really is. Despite years of hype around scale and monetization, the company is still sinking deeper into losses, with Q1 red ink widening to $0.35 per share. There’s no sign of operating leverage—only a business that keeps spending heavily without proving it can translate growth into profit. The headline revenue increase looks impressive at first glance, but it completely falls apart under scrutiny. Roblox missed expectations by a staggering margin—roughly $300 million short—which is not a minor miss but a serious breakdown in forecasting and execution. For a company priced on aggressive growth assumptions, that kind of gap is a major credibility hit. Even worse, forward guidance suggests things are deteriorating, not improving. Q2 revenue projections came in dramatically below expectations, implying that growth is already slowing and that prior Wall Street estimates were wildly optimistic. This raises a bigger concern: Roblox may be hitting limits in user spending or engagement far sooner than investors anticipated. The market’s sharp selloff reflects a harsh reality—this is a company that: Can’t control its losses Can’t meet revenue expectations And now can’t inspire confidence in future growth In short, Roblox is starting to look less like a high-growth platform and more like a cash-burning business with a broken narrative, where expectations are resetting downward—and likely not finished yet.

King Arthur (@King_ArthurYT) reportedHello @Roblox Thought I would come here again and politely ask, can you please put further review into my enforcement banned account? 🙏 My account ‘@arthur303308’was wrongfully enforcement banned on October 8th, 2025 because my account was linked up to another account that was banned on your platform. The problem is, I don’t own the account that was linked up to me. I have been banned for 206 days (4,944 hours in total as I am writing this.) I did my own research and concluded that this account linkage occurred because the individual who owns the account linked up to mine gained unauthorized access to my account over 6 years ago. And I believe your systems recorded that login back then and kept those logs all this time. This individual was banned on September 5th, 2024 at 12:01 PM my time. I know this because the review date originally on my enforcement ban was 09/05/24 12:01 PM CDT. Before it was changed to when I was actually banned. 10/08/25 at 8:36 PM CDT. I believe this ban occurred because your systems have found matching information with my account due to the unauthorized login that occurred on my account 6 years ago. All I ask is for more further review into this. I know that you’d rather have us send appeals through your forums on your support page, but I tried that so many times, and I was denied all the time despite explaining my situation. So please Roblox, can you put further review on my account? 🥲🙏 It would mean a lot if you could. Thanks!

HelloItsVG (@HelloItsVG) reportedRoblox AI moderation just banned a verified college student because her account got linked to a random stranger she's never met. She said: >"I am a college student so I share IPs with multiple people" >"I got banned because some random account was linked to mine" >"I've had this account since 2017 and logged on almost everyday” Roblox AI moderation is broken and falsely bans thousands of accounts per day. I was wondering if you use a public Wi-Fi... And somebody got banned…Will you also get banned?

Mohamed Tawfik (@mo_tawfik89) reported@Vinno_Is_Pan @HelloItsVG hmm maybe it's a coincidence? could be something else triggering the ban. any chance ur using a VPN at school or home? sometimes they cause weird issues. worth checking with roblox support too.

omnifla (@furryfla) reported@RoRapTV @Roblox This post is misleading. First, this isn’t new; it's been around for a while. It's called an arbitration clause. Disputes must go through binding individual arbitration, not court, and no class actions. If you have a serious issue with Roblox, you usually can’t take them to a regular court trial. Instead, you go to a private dispute process (arbitration). You can also opt out of this by sending a physical letter to Roblox within 30 days of agreeing to the new terms of service.

KC_ӼTZ (@katie_xtz) reported@xxx1169670 @Roblox fix this or get rid of your anti-alt ai system, please for the love of god! It’s unfair for the innocent people that get banned for this.

Agux🇦🇷🇸🇪 (@Agux240405) reported@LeehamsonThe3rd I think it's great that you added rollback. If you think about it, correcting positions in roblox is incredibly hard without the game becoming completely unresponsive or experiencing lag spikes. hope roblox improves this engine someday

Freak67 (@Freak67_) reported@FIMUSFIM With Roblox Rivals Discord Admin: Accidentally bought a duplicate skin pack while giving out tournament prizes. Refund denied by their Discord help & Roblox. Same with Roblox Amber Alert. Won’t play or support these games due to theft unless they make serious effort to fix it.

kye (@kyexyz) reported@xxx1169670 @Roblox fix your horrible AI moderation.. too many people get false banned

RoChanges (@RoChanges) reported👇 Here’s the problem Transfers require the sender to have Roblox Plus, and they’re limited to 500 Robux per day / 1,000 Robux per month. Users also need verification: • 18+: age verification • Under 18: linked parent account + approval That is way more friction than donation games had. The new flow requires identity verification, parental approvals, and a paid subscription just to send. This will almost certainly result in fewer donations at a much smaller scale. 🧵

Calum Lewis (@CalumLewis) reportedMy younger brother plays Roblox. He's told me there are UI scams and fake glitches designed to steal kids' money - and Roblox doesn't seem to fix them. If I'm right, that's probably intentional. It drives revenue. $33B for a platform that monetises confusion in children. Hard pass. What's your take?

SirD 🇺🇸 (@Sir_Dammed) reported@Mcgillionaire1 @TyriasRC @ShitpostRock2 I would even go so far as to say it's one of the worst video games ever made, at least in the AAA space. Sure, you could find some random ******* 8-year-old's Roblox-adjacent indie project that is half broken and terrible, but that's not exactly a fair comparison. We need to judge Veilguard for what it is. A AAA game made by a once beloved studio, and a sequel of a once beloved franchise. On those grounds alone, it's top 10-20 worst video games of all time.

RoUtility (@RoUtilityNews) reported@greens_stuff @SirDapper having a team and degrees doesn’t make something immune to issues. e.g. Roblox has suffered many XSS vulnerabilities that were criticals in the past 3 years that have gotten patched. big companies like Roblox also get breached, have internal mistakes or social engineering incidents so having ‘engineers and degrees’ isn’t any guarantee of safety, just means they have more resources to respond

Zhuo Tao (@runzhuotao) reportedRoblox could have fixed the age safety issues before 'brainrot summer,' and then DAU and engagement data would have smoothed out. Plus, there's the culture war over R15 vs. R6. The market is so brutal right now that it didn't even care they built an AI procedural modeling feature whose significance is on par with frontier labs, simply because it doesn't solve user acquisition in the short term. But it does remind me of Netflix's painful transition from DVD rentals to streaming.

Usual (@wilsontulus5) reported@axlotlo @HelloItsVG as an Indonesian who has so many cell towers sharing few public IPs to tens of thousands of devices to the point when Google's reCaptcha can be very difficult, I agree on this, since no one on Roblox communities based from Indonesia is complaining about this issue.

KreekCraft (@KreekCraft) reportedHere's the problem 👇 Roblox wants players to use Roblox Plus for sending/receiving Robux instead of donation games. BUT Roblox Plus limits you to 500/day and 1,000/month. That's not enough. Now YouTubers/Streamers are forced to (illegally) send Robux using group funds again.

VirusekDevv (@VirusekDevv) reported@Gamertian05 Yes, because somehow no one has a problem except you and some friend of yours who doesn't understand roblox studio.
