all these "most evil" companies' CEOs should have a boxing tournament for no reason at all

The fact that roblox KZfaqrs get paid more than game developers is sad. The developers are the ones who gives the youtubers content and some of them don't even link it.

If I had a dollar for every "most evil business in the world" video, I would eventually become the most evil business in the world.

As a player of Roblox myself, I truly agree that this billion dollar corporation is one of the most evil businesses out there. They can't do one single thing that the community wants, problems pile together, every week a new lawsuit is out.

Being a Roblox player since 2015 it's just sad to see what a place many of us thought would become extremely famous and surpass big games actually took the worst turn. Went from a masterpiece to a shithole, even it's community.

For anyone wondering, Experiences are called that way due to a lawsuit against Epic Games by Apple where Epic pointed out that ROBLOX had games with microtransactions, so they avoided it by renaming them.

The game itself isn't bad at all, it's just the company crashing in and ruining everything associated with it If your gonna start boycotting, try boycotting the robux first

I wouldve never thought that the Roblox from 2010 would become what it is now

Being an old Roblox player, I'm disappointed in Roblox as a whole. You sir have done a tremendous job on the exposure and have my upmost respect. Edit: Replies are a warzone

I've been on Roblox (albeit very inactively the past few years) since 2012. It's been sad watching the game become worse and worse over time. Games have improved a ton since then, but Roblox's business practices have not. They have axed literally every event they used to hold themselves on the site and now rely on sponsors and individual creators to make events.

As a former Roblox player,I’ve encountered a horrible situation on this platform. There’s a lot of drama and the games are becoming corrupt. It’s crazy how there are little kids still playing this game and under attack by predators out there.

Yet you still play it... (99% of the people who clicked on this video) If you think you're addicted to it then take action

Good old roblox, from powering imagination to powering manipulation.

You've forgotten a significant detail on this. ROBLOX has become out of touch with its community. Those "experiences" used to be called games by roblox until apple changed that. There was a second currency named Tickets, you got a certain amount everyday and could trade tickets for robux. ROBLOX's corporate greed is causing them to remove many fun things from their platform. Hell, they're removing core parts of their platform, like how they're removing R6(a 6 part avatar which a lot of users use) and keeping R15(15 part avatar which a majority uses) and rthro(a human-like avatar that the community hates, and mainly only uses for trolling purposes). Not only does roblox know removing r6 will break many games, but they're still going through with it after backlash from their community. They even have their own awards cereminues, the bloxy awards, which again they took the fun and life out of and went with the corporate normal name for awards: the "innovation awards." They also had events for the community like egg hunts and halloween events, which they also removed, but now they "readded" events, which are actually just business promotions, like the gucci promo. They have also pissed off their community by removing the beloved "OOF" sound. Almost every update they make causes their community to become pissed, it just goes to show you how out-of-touch from their community ROBLOX has become.

To me it feels like this guy is telling a story in every video, its like a book that i would pick up and read. I really like his style of video scripting and i am definitely subscribing for more

Back in my day, you'd just play games as a man in a green suit who shoots aliens. Very sad to see the gaming industry become so corrupt.

This feels less like talking about a business, and more like the history of an authoritarian and corrupt country.

Roblox’s path to corruption started from when they went public and started to try to appeal to their investors Nowadays, roblox is so out of touch with the community that’s it’s almost laughable. Now all they do is add questionable features for their investors.

Honestly great to see people speaking about the chaos this platform has become.

Bro ive been binging all of your content, super high quality and just rabbit hole after rabbit hole, props man

As someone who helped run a roblox black market, I can confirm it was just full of kids wanting to spend their parents credit cards on in game items.

I am thankful I left Roblox in 2021. That game is so overrated. I left because there wasn’t really any interesting games and the community is dreadful. Back when I joined Roblox in 2016, they were so much better. Also, the removal of the “oof” sound just makes me loose all remaining respect for Roblox. They are a multi-billion dollar company and they refused to pay *$10,000* for one of their most iconic sounds. The new death sound on Roblox sounds awful and sounds like Eric Cartman getting winded.

can’t wait to explain to my grandkids why there’s so many specific laws about in game money. honestly it’s quite fascinating, knowing that the government has to _eventually_ do something about it, so i’m basically watching history unfold. really obscure history, mind you, but still interesting

As a person who played roblox for 8 years and got hacked 2 mounts ago this seem relatable. Roblox also denies (most) rollbacks like my limiters were gone and after telling roblox support with evidence they denied it twice. They pretty much left the community to rot like it was nothing

As an avid roblox user, im glad that more and more people are speaking out about the problems at roblox. Roblox is one of the worst companies, and multiple of my friends have been seriously effected with that that took place on roblox, or are connected with it. I hope that this video helps with improving things at roblox.

What I hate about big companies is that most of the time their downfall is either due to corruption, greed, or ignorance

I've babysitted my siblings a few weeks ago. My youngest sibling, a six year old, went ballistic when he wasn't allowed to play Roblox while I was babysitting. Let's just say that evening was hell for me

Looking at the title I was thinking “So now you’re going after Roblox huh?” But after the first few sentences it was more like “huh, well that’s fair”

2012 Roblox player here, and believe me, i did not expect this site to go so abruptly downhill ever since Erik's passing, and neither did almost anyone playing the game at that time. Something needs to be done about it, but i'm very skeptic about it doing something in the long run, since David and the other higher-ups at Roblox are ignorant of *their own fanbase.*

Roblox is so heinous. I’ll never forgive them for replacing the “oof” sound…

Erik would be disappointed is he saw roblox now

i love how roblox moderators even write to you sent this email from ur acc to add an email and when someone hacks ur acc and ask them if they can give ur acc back they be like "sorry but we cant proof that this is your account💀"

The first time I opened Roblox was 2009. I noticed the platform started going downhill in 2015 but I didn't really pay attention to it, even when it was fail after fail I still tried to remain positive for this site. The breaking point for me was 2022 when Roblox decided to purge the entire audio library over a small case that they have won before. That audio library was like a whole time capsule. So many audios that dated as far back as the start of the platform, and they decide to just axe it because they didn't want to spend a few thousand to win the case again. Sadly enough is this company will not be falling any time soon. Unless the law itself steps in or parents worldwide get together to boycott Roblox, then nothing is going to change.

It’s was amazing to see the game flourish since I first joined back in 2007 but knowing their shady practices really sheds a different light on them. Especially since I spent countless hours of my childhood playing on this platform. I’m not sure where it’s at anymore

Roblox's money: 40 billion dollars Roblox Moderation: some obese discord mod

Their gonna claim “the video is full of errors”

As someone who's played Roblox since early 2009, its a shame to see how corporate like Roblox has became ever since it skyrocketed in popularity. The game was entirely different then it was 10 years ago. Wish I could relive that experience again.

i’ve been playing since 2011/2012 and it’s just unrecognizable. the game used to mean so much to me, and the old games had more soul and feel to them. all the old games are now either broken, dead, or constantly get hacked. the last good year was probably either 2014 or 2015. after that it just went downhill. i only play it sometimes now. i’m 19 and i just play with my younger siblings every once in a while but it just pisses me off. if the game was like how it was in 2011-2015 right now, and stayed that way, i would still be an active player as an adult. it’s just sad really how the game turned out to be.

I've been playing Roblox since 2016, and looking back, those were better times. After watching the videos by People Make Games and this video, I feel so pissed that in total over the years I've bought thousands of Robux. Seeing the game decline like this (especially the pettiness at not buying the oof sound for 10k) is so saddening and I hope they fix up their ways. Until they do, goodbye Roblox. It's been fun.

Yea well I do agree with some of what you've said, and too often these days companies depend on greed rather than the consumers. But, if these kids want to see any significant change then they'll need to get together and "vote with their wallet", or choose not to patronize this company until they change.

You've succeeded where other content creators haven't.I may not use or have even heard of some of the subjects you've covered,but I still watch the videos due to how great the content is.Other creators are more interested if their fans see their faces on camera when it's 100% unnecessary all the while having a monotone voice over that doesn't sound enthusiastic.it's dry content when they're not interested in the subject they're presenting which makes for a boring watch.All the great content being put out from you on a pretty regular basis is excellent.Keep 'em coming!

Moon--I cannot fully express my appreciation to you for ALL of your excellent videos. I was born in 58, with one foot grounded in the predigital world, & the other foot in the introduction of & fazing in of, the digital world. You are gifted in unpacking Big Tech complexities and giving fulsome thoughtful critiques of how these technologies are massively is impacting all of us. Our collective deeper understanding is greatly assisted by your videos. Thanx for that! And for all of your continued Excellent work on this channel. Peace, x & gratitude to you & All. :)

I am amazed by the amount of videos like this that are out but the people don’t take action…

Watch Roblox try and sue him and make up stuff just to get him to shut up.

I grew up with Roblox from around the age of 7. I began playing around 2012, and over the 10 years I've played, Roblox has changed for the worse. Gone is the gleeful whimsy you felt hopping on SFoTH or other games, it just doesn't feel that fun anymore. This video has really shined a lot on how Roblox's greed has overtaken their morality. Roblox can still be fun with friends, but I wish there was a competitor with better moral standards. I don't want to support a company like this, and if the rumors of removing R6 are true, I'll be gone by the end of the year. Roblox, why?

My 10 year old son has an unhealthy obsession with this platform. He always wants Robux and it seems equal to just burning money. I had no idea this existed until he stopped playing Minecraft 2 years ago and jumped on this bandwagon. This beyond exploitative and nefarious. Thank you for exposing this nonsense for what it is: brainwashing manipulation.

I miss it back when Roblox actually cared about their users and all the events they used to do

I joined ROBLOX in 2018-which happened to be the time that all these changes unfortunately began to happen. It was around that time where the "OLD ROBLOX" everyone fondly remembers disappeared. They began to look for ways to appeal to investors and create their own metaverse, sacrificing as much as they had to so they could be just another one of the big companies. They took away events that brought the whole community together like EggHunts and Bloxy Awards, their moderation worsened, and they became distanced from their community. It would take a miracle to make ROBLOX go back from a get rich quick scheme for those involved to a fun game for all ages, where you can live out your wildest fantasies and even create them, for completely free.

as a developer, I am very aware of these problems. Ruben Sim, a fellow creator (also on KZfaq) has been in these problems first hand. It’s is truly awful how the Moderation and leadership of Roblox exploit and abuse their power, going after people who dare speak out against them.

The worst part is that Roblox will only care about the community when their investors start leaving.

While I do agree that Roblox has done and is doing messed up shit and are pretty awful when it comes to morally sound decisions, you can’t blame Roblox for a lack of parenting. If kids are falling into scams, gambling, buying too much online currency, etc. there needs to be a percent of accountability on the parents end. Because while Roblox may be attempting to trick kids, it’s the parents fault for not teaching the children to know better.

The community is quite large to handle and they are focusing on making the game more realistic even tho there is so many security and privacy issues

I love you videos Moon, I watch all of them actually. However, not everything can be the "most evil business in the world" lol. Your best videos are the more psychological ones, such as why men like fight club. They're more unique then mini documentaries on bad companies. I love both, just saying.

Bit of a correction: Robux cannot really be converted to currency. The only way you can convert Robux to money is by using the robux you've earned from your game. Other robux cannot be converted, it won't let you. DevEx is only for game revenue, and you have to apply for it and be atleast 13+.

Yeah.. we hear this alot, and unfortunately.... it's all true. Once a business reaches it's top prior then it just stop's listening to their customers/community.

Another reason why roblox is evil is because, not only do they do nothing when you get hacked or lose your account but they also have useless protection when it comes to 2-step verification and its honestly pathetic knowing that its a big corporation.

You do make some good points but as a person who has been playing Roblox for almost 4 years I can safely say that majority of the modern players can't even afford the amount of robux to even buy a limited plus they would also have to buy premium to even trade it

The censorship in that game is insane. You could type stuff like Virus and China separately but if you ever put China and Virus in the same string arranged in any kind of way with any other characters the whole thing is censored

The fact that they did this for YEARS and are still not banned or something is truly terrible! I’m SO GLAD people started to realize what’s going on with ROBLOX and are exposing them.

worst part is Roblox has such a huge amount of KZfaqrs playing it and games that it’s really hard to quit, even Roblox isn’t even making the games most of the games on Roblox are really entertaining, especially to young children who don’t know what steam is

No matter how many evil business videos moon posts, they are pure facts and really appreciate the effort and hard work to bring this content.

Really puts Mojang's player moderation scheme into context.

Roblox was making NFTs before NFTs even existed

This is the game that gave me an avidly free to play mindset that I carry for most games now. I only ever spent money whenever I lost a bet and had to change my name to something stupid

As much as youre right about most things on roblox, i dont know anyone, with robux or without, that honestly thinks they can make money off speculating with collectibles. What really happens is that traders put "send me higher value trades" in their profile and just expect people to offer them a combination of hats for a lower combination of their hats, effectively increasing their capital for free ad infinum. Nobody aint got time to actually wait for the price of items to climb. Thats mainly reserved for people that stop playing roblox for a couple years and come back to see some of their collectibles have increased several times in value. So while yes, technically gambling, technically stock markets, you are a bit overestimating the average attention span of kids and thusly their willingness to actually participate in such systems to such a degree. They want instant gratification, and that doesnt come in any other form than being offered higher value items for the ones you already posess.

As a former Roblox player, and developer, I fully agree with this video. I do graphic design commissions for other developers’ game thumbnails on the platform for USD, but that’s only made possible by Discord, not Roblox. Roblox is extremely corrupt, and it pains me to watch them go down this way, seeing as they were a large part of my childhood.

..as a younger kid I always knew something was up with this game, and never bothered for any of the collectible limiteds due to it just looking shady. this was extreamly enlightening thank you.

finally someone had to talk about this. Even though i play this game i saw the evil side of it. In fact i was fooled to be included in it. I cannot with this community. and i just finally need to enlighten myself with this video

Oi Moon, if you ever want to do a follow-up, you should talk about Ruben Sim. Ruben Sim was a Roblox KZfaqr who was sued by Roblox for $1.6 Million. His videos were mostly critiques of the Roblox platform and the people within it. It's a real interesting story, you should cover it.

This is like a smaller scale, more niche version of what the metaverse wants to be, yet it has gone more black mirror and faster than even the most bleak prediction of harms I've seen of the coming metaverse. We're way behind the 8 ball on this one, and I don't see the powers-that-be anywhere near capable of dealing with this let alone obvious legacy of real world issues.

Every other piece of clothing I upload to roblox gets deleted and having like 2+ deleted gets you a warning anything else after adds to a ban and then eventual termination, they don’t even break the rules it’s just their bot detection is so ass and you have to pay 10 robux to upload it just for it to get deleted. Roblox also adds the texture to a blacklist so you have to make a one pixel edit and then hope it gets accepted I’ve had this happen so many times and once gotten a 3 day ban for it.

My kids are building a obsession with that dumb ass game.

I refuse to believe anything the roblox does can be legal its crazy, I doubt that roblox will even exist in the future with these practices and the fact they barely listen to the community shows it's about the money and impressing investors.

Here's a couple things Moon got wrong 1. Roblox isn't just marketed towards children. Roblox is a platform for kids, teens, and adults. 2. You cannot sell your collectable items on roblox then use the robux obtained from the items to get real money. You can only cash out robux obtained through game development or clothing sales. 3. You do not need $100,000 robux to trade robux for real money. You only need $50,000 which is pretty reasonable in my opinion. If your game never ends up making $50k robux then practically no one is playing it or you haven't monetized it well. 4. The exchange rates on black market sites for robux are not better than roblox's rates. They're actually about equal. If not, roblox's rates are higher. 5. The roblox black market is a lot like csgo's third party market. There are trusted sites that make a lot more money by not scamming their user base. Of course there are scams. Scams are present in every popular video game. Use common sense and you won't get scammed 6. I know there are a lot of naive children on roblox that get scammed. Roblox has implemented a rollback system where they give back the robux/limiteds lost after a roblox user gets hacked. They only do it once. If you get hacked a second time they won't help you. 7. You need the FIRST EMAIL linked to your account for roblox support to help you. It doesn't matter if the hacker changed the email to his. The kid needed the first email he linked to the account when he created it. If he lost that email it's his fault. It's the only way roblox can prove they're talking to the real account owner. 8. Roblox advertisements were never a good way for developers to get their games popular. Usually game popularity is gained through word of mouth and roblox influencers playing the games on their channel. You shouldn't run ads for your game until you have a solid player base 9. No child is overworked on roblox. Kids do not know enough about game development to create good games that people would want to play. Most good developers are at least 18. You'd need the same skills and math required to make games in unreal engine or unity for roblox. There's probably more you got, but I can't be bothered to type anymore

“It’s not the platform, it’s the people who abuse it”

The game looks like ass.

This is amazingly in depth for a 20 minute video. I have been playing roblox since 2009, now in my 20s, and all the videos I watch attempting to cover roblox's history are always pretty on the surface, or only about the recent era of the platform. I always called Roblox kid capitalism and this video perfectly encapsulates what I mean.

Gonna be honest, as a rolbox player, this company is my favorite example of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." This company used to be great! Listening to their community, doing cool stuff for it, Hell, back then even the events back then were great! But now, They are just a Husk of their former self, forgetting the community exists, Doing absolute GARBAGE decisions for a quick buck, and even making horrible events for the sake of sponsorships. If we were to travel back in time, and show this to people in 2018, They would assume that Roblox would be owned by a company like Activision Blizzard. How the mighty have fallen.

The image you used for Scrip, the “Silverton Scrip” that’s from my hometown, the image on the scrip used is a picture of silver falls. Caught me by surprise to see that. It must’ve been distributed by the old Silver Falls timber company. My great grandfather worked for them as an independent logger with a horse team.

Ah yes roblox bans me for swearing at a hacker yet allows child labour to go on what a great company

As a Roblox user since 2014, and a developer since 2015, I am deeply disappointed of what Roblox has become. When I first played it back then, it was awesome, it had tons of stuff, most notable being TIX, Forums, Sounds, lifetime membership option and the original OOF sound too. All of that mentioned here has been either restricted, replaced, or removed completely, which is very sad to see. What we have now? Censorship? Longer pending Robux? Roblox should do something about this. Or this platform will become a sort of digital fascism in the following years.

While no one can defend abusive and dishonest business practices, it leads one to imagine how much less of this there would be in an economy and environment where actual competition existed from small businesses, and big corporations were prohibited by law from direct lobbying.

Something I've noticed is that Roblox likes to give off the image that they're a small company who is constantly getting sued and can't control it, but they are actually a $40 billion dollar company, and just don't care, as evidenced by when they didn't wanna buy the oof sound or when they nuked the audio library.

Basically Roblox is successful because of bad parenting.

It's sad to see David butcher his friends' vision so thoroughly. Hell, Eriks death was probably the catalyst of his company's death march towards villainy. As if with him gone, David and the other executives would be free to monetize the game however they saw fit, and that's what they've been doing. Onwards the giant goes, uncaring of pitfalls for he is too big fall in them, yet he forgets; he can still trip over them.

Alright I’m subbing, I love informative channels like this that tackle “popular” stuff that isn’t great for society. You have a great voice and your so good with how you explain things I’m not confused at all. Great video!

aint no way bro picked Roblox

it’s sad that this just didn’t pop up as a horrible company but used to be a good game for all and was very family friendly of course the occasional bad players but they were delt with but it somehow ran itself down to the ground

as a roblox player who has been playing for 7 years now, i fully agree w/ you. if you showed 2015-2017 me what roblox is like now, i wouldnt even believe it. it used to be such a great game and roblox actually cared about the player's experiences, but now its just some money-hungry platforn that doesnt give a shit about the players. theyre honestly just asking to get players to quit.

Thank you for opening my eyes. I’m a Roblox player and I didn’t realize just how massively corrupt Roblox is until now.

i have too agree with you. roblox also released the most stupid dumb disgraceful and pointless update that nobody asked for or even cared about they replaced the best main avatar with a ugly ubombination and replaced the good faces with the other so called "dinamic heads" what was even the point of that? and the worst part is that people hated the update but guess what roblox responded to the drama BUT NEVER EVEN CARED THAT PEOPLE HATED THE UPDATE THAT IS JUST SO STUPID roblox is the worst app ever and the only reason i still play it is for the good and old games AND THE GOOD AND OLD ONES ONLY also i would not have really cared if roblox shut down

As a 14 y.o. boy 2 years ago, I thought that making an experience in Roblox would be profitable since 350$ looked amazing to me. I had all the skills for making the games but my games never got popular even after I promoted them on Roblox and some social media apps. I made bunch of quality games but I couldn't even save up 1000 Robux while the min. exchange amount is 100K. Now I'm 16 and I'm starting to hate the platform.

Let's hope that Roblox does not try to take this video down. Great work, as always.

I remember playing Roblox in a computer class in high school back in 2009-10 was so surprised to hear how big it got.

The fact that roblox is getting away with exposing gambling to children is very sickening and worrisome.

a few years later in school: And this is how a random videogame transformed the virtual world from sandbox to the real world but alternated in physics with social laws similar to reality, just because they trough being a demon from the deepest hell into a place with fewer rules is not a bad idea

Your videos are always so in-depth, its really good to see someone talk about roblox's business practices in an unbiased viewpoint.

Did they just delete your bill gates video?!? Was watching it and it said this video is no longer available

I always thought it was weird. It's like the uncanny valley of videogames I haven't even watched the video yet
