    My much more resonable goal is to never play Roblox.

      I decided to try guilded.gg as an alternative to discord finally, only to find out they now require a Roblox account to log in. So much for that idea.

        Matrix.org is a good alternative, teamspeak’s new client also uses the matrix protocol

        I used to run a Mumble server at home on an RPi, the sound was way better than Discord, but I didn’t like how it made my IP appear on shodan, I also didn’t like needing to keep it updated.

        I work in IT, I don’t want to work at home.

        So I moved to using Steam, but due to network issues on my end that didn’t work, so we moved to Discord.

          I want the chat aspect of discord. I use it for my business (local game shop) to keep customers updated on preorders, new releases, and events at the shop, and to just chat with everyone. It has a much better reach than Facebook or Instagram.

    PeopleMakeGames has a great video about how Roblox makes money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ

    And the followup when they got heat from roblox in response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMF6xEiAaY

        Should definitely still watch the videos. The full extent of the exploitation is sickening.

    10% of all global gaming revenue? Does that include mobile games?

    How close are they to that now? It doesn’t seem like they’re even as big as Minecraft.

      Dude that’s not even close to the most insane part. They expect one in every 8 humans on the whole earth to play EVERY DAY.

        I didn’t count, is that how many there are? WOW, that’s a big ask. I think I’ll do my part and die someday to make room for another whatever this game is we’re talking about player

    Kids will realize some day what garbage Roblox actually is. And then the ride will be over.

    That would certainly explain suddenly forcing Guilded users to have Roblox accounts to use a chat app. Get fucked, Roblox.
