The pedo hub busting predator catchers doesn't have any good games? Who would've thought.

A company losing a fuck load of money because its users aren’t making interesting games with their product, sounds like a massively stupid product right out of the gate lmao.

It's not that the company is losing money, it's just what investors think their company is worth is now less

The company also reported that ‘bookings’, a key measure of player spending, grew by just 8% year over year after previously posting much stronger growth

This is the most relevant thing the article mentions; they're still making money, more money than they did last year

Financial news is weird, it all just seems like random guesswork and made up numbers

That's exactly what it is.

Stupid child developers... why aren't they coming up with new good ideas!

Also totally nothing to do with people getting terrified of letting their kids on there as, they do more to get in the way of police stings arresting child predators, and do nothing to combat them themselves.

We need to make roblox but good. Kids deserve better than being groomed by Republican state representitives when they're just trying to play a game

People will hate me for saying this but "Roblox but good" already exists, it's called Fortnite Creative.

Yeah, even before it was released there were so many kids are still messing around with Garry's Mod. New generations of kids playing with 20-year-old software.

Is this good for children to play? Having a really hard time keeping our daughter from Roblox. A good alternative could go miles.

[-] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

It’s the same kind of game mode browser as Roblox. It’s not that big yet but it’s from the people who made Garry’s mod so i bet it’ll stick around long enough to reach a critical mass of different games to play and developers working on new ones. I hope it takes off because it’s basically the steam version of Roblox or Fortnite.

As a dev or asset maker you can make commission on the game modes/ items/ art you upload to the workshop based on how much other people use it.

Luanti could be that. But it's not very kid friendly. At least not yet.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

You mean the company that profits off of ignoring groomers and pedos while also having a CEO that insists dating os a necessary edition has lost profit after being exposed for being evil? Parents are worried their kids may be being groomed so they refuse to let their kids on the platform and you are blaming the creators instead of yourselves?

Nope, no surprise there.

Oh no won’t anybody think about the poor Roblox corporation, their child labor sweatshop isn’t sweating enough…

Totally scummy company providing a platform for sex traffickers.
