alt Hacker NewsRoblox is absolutely torching their platform, in many ways besides matchmaking and the age verification. Ask any kid who's grown up with the game. Players are leaving in droves and Roblox has become quite un-cool in the last six or so months.

I can tell you right now that any kid that’s growing up with the platform right now couldn’t care less.
They don’t communicate in chat. They communicate by shouting at each other from 2 feet away.

I don’t have a kid who’s grown up with Roblox nearby to ask. Can you please explain what you mean?

“thing that was cool to kids is not cool anymore” is not a new phenomenon, and the onus is really on you to show the causation.
As someone who dislikes predator havens that are combined with addictive dark patterns honed to maximize children begging parents for Robux (or just stealing parents’ credit cards to get it) I couldn’t be happier to see Roblox collapse.
I’m sure what replaces it will be even worse though. :/
