Huge Roblox Drama

content warning in this video we will be displaying explicit messages that were sent to a miner but we'll be giving you another warning before it happens so it's a few months that's pretty intense my games released our video titled how Roblox is exploiting Young game developers in it we shot a light on how Roblox which is today one of the largest video games in the world encourages children to make games on its platform only to give them a tiny fraction of the revenue that their games make we had concerns about the dummies which Roblox is a system on child creativity and overwhelmingly you folks shared those concerns it seems pretty easy to follow so far Roblox exploits kids allegedly the Roblox exploits kids I'll say it with my chest I don't think I need like the first bit of context but I'll tell you who else had an interesting reaction to our reporting ROBLOX Corporation you might remember apart in the last video where we talked about a page on roblox.com that told kids they could make serious cash after our video was released this was actually removed from the platform oh but this was just appetizers ruin the dreams so with this in mind we reached out to Roblox again you see when we were researching the first video we emailed them asking for an interview or comment and they did not respond but with half a minute well yeah there's like a billion dollar company Roblox to say that we were working on a follow-up and this time roblox's new senior director of corporate Communications and public affairs offered to speak to us on the phone to see if we could arrange an interview oh yeah let's go we did not succeed at arranging a straight interview however during that call Roblox told us that our first video contained a number of Errors going as far as to suggest that we take our video off YouTube now we asked Roblox again and again what these errors were and we never once got a straight answer closest we got was Roblox sending us to a link to a blog post from somebody with the online handle Eco scratcher asking us do you plan on editing or removing the video based on some of the things the author raises well it's just a bunch of [ __ ] Twitter links what is he linking people sucking roblox's [ __ ] or something how is that helpful didn't he ask them what the errors were and his responses here check these Twitter posts from real Evan pickle like what how is that supposed to be helpful as you can see Mr Pickle over here happened to have noticed a little editing error the your voice was a bit off sync part one Roblox is unregulated managers part two moderation and child safety part three did you know there's an entire stock market baked into this game's official store in which children are in encouraging to gamble real money yeah let's go reported on this yet come to think of it because it's great we miss it in the first video let's say you make a lot of money you get kids gambling this is black markets so back in the day roblox's Central proposition was straightforward individual kids could play around with tools and make games for other kids and maybe make money but as Roblox has gotten more players at the time of this video it has 47.3 million users every day the games on the platform have been making more oh my God which means it's a crazy number mostly the popular games are made by whole teams of people who are improving the scripting modeling the sound and a churning out updates to keep people playing yeah but you don't need that I guess this is just more of like a PSA in any hopeful game devs if you want to just start making money on Roblox you can make anything kids will watch and play anything even if it's the most dog [ __ ] thing ever because kids are entertained by anything so you don't have to put that much effort into it just make a lot of them and then I'm sure you'll make plenty of money doing that just keep churning [ __ ] out not true look at YouTube kids any kids content [ __ ] pops off because kids will actually watch anything and look at games like go on Steam new releases and no matter how awful the game is you'll at least see some reviews from some very clearly young players it's just you will literally always have an audience if you cater it towards kids because kids will actually play or watch anything today more and more people who want to take their Roblox Development Career seriously develop marketable skills like animation or programming for Roblox and then leave the platform to sell their skills in a totally unregulated cluster of virtual communities it's mostly Discord service signing contracts or Worse having no contract at all with buses who might have no experience in management and might be a child themselves and Roblox I like that like thought process like this underground Syndicate of developers they've gone Rogue and it's just a bunch of [ __ ] kids in suits exploiting each other for their Robux it is crazy though I feel like it'd be better if if kids weren't creating games for kids I feel like it'd be better if it was teams doing it because at least then you'd know as a parent it's at least something of decent quality like if I had a kid last thing I want him doing is wasting his [ __ ] time playing something that my dumb neighbor's kid made I want him playing something good [ __ ] Psychonauts or some [ __ ] will I pay my child fairly I don't know will they mistreat my child I don't know is it safe for my child to do this oh absolutely but if something does happen to my child there's simply no way to be sure will you be taking action against those responsible no I'll tell you who does take act I'm sorry to keep interrupting this actually is a pretty interesting topic there is a community of people who take action against Roblox Bad actors foreign and it's right here on the terminated players list this is where the Roblox villains live forever in infamy On The Wall of Shame we've got and we have some of the most heinous players in all of Roblox history including Greg nine and Greg one nine nine nine one one two son and if you go down far enough you'll find the most dastardly of them all uh wait where is it hold on I gotta get to the X's hold on why is he not on here uh where's Sonic the Hedgehog XX Sonic the Hedgehog he is he escaped that's probably what it was oh I got his name wrong the X X's came after Sonic the [ __ ] Hedgehog this guy terrorized the streets of Roblox for far too long not even the CIA was enough to stop him in his prime he had to be taken down by other kids in the server until one day he just left peacefully they weren't locked in there with him he was locked in there with them at the end of it all God Rest his soul he actually commented on my Roblox video he actually still goes by this name on his YouTube channel so it's a bit disingenuous to say Roblox doesn't do anything when there's Bad actors in their community because I mean look at this counts as something Jim wool is yeah I haven't seen Jim wall on these lists yet but he's probably just too new he's like the most recent raid boss in fact talking about what your boss did to you on the official Roblox developer forums falls under the category of harassment and since there's no plan let me read these real quick yeah if you're mistreated by your boss don't tell Roblox about it you you yourself get banned rightfully so [ __ ] snitch statements so we emailed hold on a second hey Connor the structure of Roblox is so strange to me because I had an offer of like 20K from a Roblox game developer to have them make games for me to stream but it was somewhat sketchy and I wasn't sure how involved the Roblox themselves were 20K to stream some Roblox games and you didn't do it Connor you you deserve to be on the [ __ ] controversial players list on the [ __ ] Roblox Wiki what a deal you have to play Roblox and get 20K are you insane unbelievable yeah obviously Roblox is themselves isn't involved there's just some like weird crusty dudes that develop pretty mediocre experiences but God damn it that's what makes a Roblox Roblox why do people keep saying check Roblox stock it's a rough day that's a rough day for Roblox fans everywhere oh that's a rough five day oh this is a bad month for Roblox fans everywhere but it's a good it's a good year we're looking good on the year though so you you know win some you lose some when talking about problems with Roblox as moderation it is hard to know where to start the side of the moderation that makes the best headlines are the games that simply should not be there like this wired article on the fascist role-playing games who are always coming up with new Hyde sex games oh God to hear roblox's players tell it the moderation is infuriating because it simply works when it's not supposed to and doesn't work when it is supposed to with automated filters offering unfair temporary bands for using words like fat gay and pill while still leaving enough scammers on the platform that the BBC chose to issue a warning hold on I want to read that oh so it's kind of like the zero tolerance thing RuneScape kind of has the same thing if you get scammed it's basically go [ __ ] yourself and it's really not like the worst policy in the world to have because it would be so highly exploited otherwise so I guess like the best thing they could do is have like some kind of I don't know like scrub McGruff crime dog teach you how to avoid scams like I don't really know what you're supposed to do it's just people getting scammed and if you like come in there to try and like hold their hand like okay you got scams will give you your [ __ ] back then there's gonna be a million other people who pretend they got scammed and there's going to be a whole mess there's really just not a good solution to that so I I understand roblox's policy there after this Channel's last video on Roblox a number of concerns for this to see if we could force Roblox to act regarding a Roblox developer with a few nicknames including Dr rophatnik Jaden the infamous Robotnik Sarah no real name I've trusted him for years in a Discord server doc was 24 and he knew that Sarah was 12. not Dr Ro fat Nick get him uh he had mentioned his Roblox fan game and I was like hey I like Roblox too he was making a Roblox Sonic fan game oh that sounds about right oh God so I asked him about it next thing I know I get like five pings and he sends me a bunch of gifts of it of course he's sending the progress of it already he was the one who uh started taking the inappropriate jokes in the DMS first but Sarah made friends within these games so hold on someone Fill Me In I pretend that I I know who rofatnik is who is he is he on like the actual Roblox team like as a moderator or something or is he just a developer like a random developer making shitty Sonic porn okay so he's not on the actual Roblox team he's a Dev got it okay just not like a Roblox death but like a Dev of just this game this weird game so he's just a random guy not affiliated with Roblox it wasn't until 2020 that Sarah's friends were able to convince her that this Behavior was not okay and helped her to come forward with evidence of Doc's Behavior however as anyone who's been following the metoo movement will know coming forward like this often has devastating consequences for the victim run right around and try ruining his life for attention and I was like what the [ __ ] are you talking about Jesus released a video denying the allegations going as far as including this audio of the developers still working under him defending his character the DMS that were exchanged between Jaden and the victims were not okay but Jaden is by no means a pedophile he understands the clear divided [Laughter] no [ __ ] way yes this guy clearly understands jokes such as I'd [ __ ] you so hard I mean that's a that's a knee slapper I pretty much tell that one to all my cousins and stuff at Thanksgiving too I mean it's just a good joke I guess right duck I mean again this is Dr rofatnik I mean that guy that guy is one of the greats he he understands comedy it is a it is a bit silly to try and like assassinate his character like that so let me start by apologizing for the things I've said I know I shouldn't have said those things regardless of the context moving forward I will not have this Behavior while I will not defend myself for the things I said explicitly I will protect myself from the blatant attempt at character assassination for as distasteful as the comments I made are they weren't genuine I feel like I'm listening to a man at the bait Club while working on this piece we were sent a 40 minute video of Roblox community members harassing a developer who has since left the development team yeah cause you're stupid and you work with a pedophile then he pays you of course you're gonna disagree oh the vigilantes honestly it's more of a convenience it's quite sunny in this video you're watching a mob of people who rang a young developer for working for an alleged abuser because they feel there's no way this is this is so weird but this is so weird truly there's a better way than going into Roblox with a traffic cone and a Halloween costume to confront [ __ ] Patriot Prime it's so hard to like wrap my head around that this is real God damn now obviously I think Roblox should step in in cases like these and arbitrate like I actually get to the bottom of what is real and what is not or what is just like harassment of someone innocent if that is the case I don't think they should put it in the hands of actual kids under no means kids should not be hunting pedophiles in their own game good God there should be some kind of feature or some kind of team that Roblox has that takes these on a case-by-case basis we have a large expertly trained team with thousands of members dedicated to protecting our users and monitoring 24 7 for inappropriate content sounds like they have the team developers removed from our place violations also lose access to monetizing that's not true that's what all are trying to tell them and again Sonic games as they as the update video from him proves docspan did nothing he's still making money for Roblox and paying developers to come and work under him you're probably asking what's up with the rest of SEO where is it at I wasn't asking that we've been making some Stellar progress as of right now and we actually have a bunch of things but if we look at this video published on his channel in April of this I'm going to just hear the Dorito dust on that guy's fingers oh my God and his team including this business he has the voice of a creepy guy steadily regaining our footing that what you're looking at here are collectible Cosmetics that Roblox either sells a limited number of or sells for a list this is pretty [ __ ] most interestingly as tie-ins with Brands like Vans the YouTuber KSI or Swedish pop star Zara Larsen and once this initial sale period is over the only way that kids can get them is either by swapping items with other Roblox users or buying them direct from so they have basically what Corners in front of other kids these items immediately they've got some gambling let's go five dollars a market that Roblox sells them but the important part here is is that Roblox always takes a 30 cut from home so the more absurdly which these items get also you only get a 23 cut from your game while Roblox takes the rest so even as a developer oh that's [ __ ] crazy man Roblox has got it figured out so you take 20 you only keep 23 of your game's profit as a developer and if you're selling items you get 70 so you do get the Lion's Share there of course but a 30 cut to Roblox on that is an absurdly high amount what is what does valve take do they even take a percent it's been a long time since I traded items what is this what does valve do okay it looks like five yeah five percent of the market and thirty percent for games I mean I just did a really quick search but it looks like valve takes 30 from games and five percent from items on their stores that's a lot I five percent's fine on the market side but thirty percent from the games I didn't know it was that big 30 is industry standard is it I guess I mean the benefit of being on Steam is it's the biggest platform for PC so I guess they like earn that percentage but I guess you could argue the same for Roblox like if you're a developer and you're making a Roblox game it can't be anywhere but Roblox I don't know it still seems like a lot when Jack was 13 he managed the impressive feat of making a hit Roblox game he called it secret hatching simulator which made him 200 000 robots oh my God he's a billionaire he's it was really stupid back then but like I spent it on stuff in the catalog instead of devexing it into real money which I really regret now I spent like half of it and bought like two faces and a hat and then um after another hundred thousand finished pretty good and I got it in my account um I wanted this bigger item it was called the silver King of the night why is Roblox selling to Children items that cost like hundreds of Australian dollars what do you mean why pretty mind-boggling obviously never spend that much money in real life after Jack had bought these items a Roblox developer that he'd been talking to for a couple of months that he thought was his friend sent Jack a file that Jack thought was an asset to help with Jack's Mexico oh my God the Roblox website contained a cookie you can't get into their account just by having the cookie he sold the limited items like pretty cheaply and made a quick like I think it was like 50k after he sold them I hate myself because of of it because like with that money I could have made like my parents proud that's so [ __ ] sad poor guys in Roblox Studio there's something called the toolbox where like you can get assets debate by other people and use them for your own game and then the game got banned because I wasn't allowed to use something that Roblox had provided to be some sports it turned out had harvested resources from someone else's game and uploaded them to the toolbox illegally which meant Jack was using them illegally even though he'd been provided them by official Roblox channels and his game his work his income was God damn Jack's learning Roblox has created and continues to support a stock market for users to gamble let's go with Roblox continuing to take that's the future baby players this is a breath damn look at the price of that [ __ ] down there the Crimson wraith or Crimson wrath the red rat 69 69 69 so that's that's about what three grand roughly three grand well the white Sparkle of course it's a fedora the white sport is probably one of Doc Robo Robo fat man what was it Robo fat Robo fat Nick probably one of his custom items the 1.4 million dollar Fedora Robux fedora so that's going to be 8 000 right around 8 000. oh you're right there's a nine million I didn't see it with the the captions there's nine million Roblox Magnus spectro inspectors lab goggles whoever owns this owns Roblox right now oh I want to take a peek at those bad boys let me go to the Roblox stocks it's a limited face accessory it was published in the Avatar shop by Roblox in 2010 it could have been purchased for 500 Robux and only 66 were sold no imagine one man has all 66 he'll be the next Warren Buffett the ultimate Roblox investor can I see the owners is it like an nft can I see who owns all of these is this it this is it oh my God I can actually see who has them they actually this is actual nfts this is [ __ ] nuts all right so Roblox themselves has one you you [ __ ] know one of those devs is gonna sell this at some point just for a little quick Buck on an ALT account or something thanks to tier one shibata the recent popcorn totally not sheds got two this guy's about to be a [ __ ] millionaire oh so many oh my God so many of these accounts are terminated what uh what a shame I already know I'm going to see Sonic the Hedgehog's name in here the Magnus Specter inspectors are worth 31.5 thousand dollars not Robux dollars and the very first owner according to this seems to be reverse racist man those Magnus Specter inspector gadgets or whatever the [ __ ] they went to a loving household totally not sheds got two I don't know what he's waiting for I can't imagine there's a better time to sell the hype here on Roblox is reached I think its peak I can't imagine it gets more popular now it's only down from here it's totally not shed I'll advise you on how to navigate this I'll take like I'll do what Roblox does I'll take like a 23 Commission and I'll help you sell those let's let's let's get this let's get this cooking shed because right now you're squatting on gold there is no reason to hold any longer Diamond hands is a curse not a blessing no warning anywhere on this page about how much you might lose and no upper limit of how much you can spend of course that we want them spending a ton or a few tens of thousands what the [ __ ] is that 618 million Robux that's 10 billion dollars well what was it the red banana of what red bandana of SQL injection of course yeah Roblox obviously has one oh my God they must be so mad that their accounts are terminated with one of these on it oh my God they have to be [ __ ] fuming this has to be the most exp oh my God they've all been purged this might be a conspiracy maybe it's so expensive Roblox bans these accounts because it's too powerful it's two million dollars USD 618 million Robux I don't want to do the calculations in my head but it's definitely over a million oh my God and some of these kids have it why won't you sell it if someone's gonna buy this lib you've gotta dump it now that is life-changing money and you Luke don't think I don't see you down here you [ __ ] idiot try and dump it ASAP this has to be the most expensive item in Roblox let me see I don't know who's gonna [ __ ] buy it but you've gotta try you've gotta [ __ ] try if you have this you have to try look at nfts who is buying pictures of [ __ ] it's uh chalk with the Invincible smoking a cigarette right but you have people bidding a hundred thousand dollars on it this is a new item this is only three years old oh it was a given exclusively to ultra goat oh so all right I see so this is kind of like Tyler the great warrior in Yu-Gi-Oh it was a card that Konami made for a kid that was struggling with a disease and it is listed as one of the most valuable cards ever so it's kind of like that for Roblox I see okay yo what is up guys it's your boy Kevin here just show me how much it sold for canoes will never see him coming so as you guys can see Ultra go is no longer the owner of this item he actually traded the one-to-one copy his special hat to UC unknown he gave a sub-argic Commando classic Fedora Ultra Commando and in return he received the Dominus Infernus he traded an item valued at 3 million real world dollars for in-game items [ __ ] that's sad oh god oh that's sad yeah I mean this all ties back to this it is a horrible idea to let kids have something that valuable oh [ __ ] that's sad that is actual life-changing money again you might not sell it for 3 million but you will sell it to one of these crazed [ __ ] collectors for at least a big chunk in a game like Roblox I have a one of one in a [ __ ] thriving Market apparently you would have made a ton oh God that's sad uh but hats off to this guy who just gave up what is this of an Easter egg with an arrow pointing out of it whatever the [ __ ] this is I don't know what it is cats off to him for trading this for the ultra Commando hey that guy he's going places this is the art of the deal right here I hope his parents never see what that item was worth oh man all right back to the we got real sidetracked oh we go we got way off course this has been wild and a click and my money's gone there is a reason that societies do not allow children to gamble I see I see it now I have a firm understanding of it now I get it of risk of addiction most adults I know don't have a firm understanding of all three because gambling and investing are both seen as adults are you telling me that there's this Roblox slot streamers kids wanna act like a dog Roblox should be warning this is amazing as anyone who has tried pirating anything ever will know illegal websites are not safe places for kids to end up there's malware credit card fishing scams hidden fees these websites will make kids watch videos or fill out forms to say nothing of the facts the kids have to get legally creative when it comes to how to put their money imagine the IRS just throws all these kids in The Slammer these websites exist what is surprising is how I see you visited Roblox Black Market you're the most popular ones have been up and why did you pay your tax on it oh yes yes we were told that we weren't being objective while this company refused to even admit the existence of the collectible stock market that they created of the underground Black Market website that they allowed to exist they didn't say anything to us about this questionable reality of kids working underneath other kids so that's interesting does Roblox what does Roblox say about the stock market because it's inarguable it is a stock market they've created in their items and their Collectibles what do they say about it thanks to reset mountains nothing not a damn how is there so much hubla about loot boxes in games but no one talks about that I didn't realize that was a thing I feel like that would be a much bigger topic of discussion especially since most kids use their parents credit card to buy those items I feel like most of them are aware of it why isn't it like an issue I didn't realize with this thing that's exactly why it was because I don't play Roblox if I was a parent and my money was being siphoned in the [ __ ] hats on the Roblox store I'd notice it these kids don't have their own money to spend obviously well I guess maybe they do since they're working for developers on Roblox so I guess maybe that's possible I don't really know I just feel like Roblox being the most profitable game one of the most profitable games in the world right now most people would have immediately put that stock market in their crosshairs but I haven't heard [ __ ] I had no clue it's user curated so technically people don't freak out because it's not Roblox directly but Roblox takes what was it thirty percent thirty percent of a sale so they are directly involved in it like they make a lot of money off it this is a really good video I think they did a great job with the whole thing so I saw this in the chat I have a different opinion I think in-game stock market is good because it teaches kids about the economy yeah but it shouldn't come at the expense of like real money if you want to teach kids about the stock market give them not real assets sure teaching kids about the stock market is great but not when it's like we just watched a kid who had a one-of-one item valued at three million dollars give it away for in-game items that's not really teaching them anything valuable that's something that they'd look back on in the future and be like oh my God like you can teach kids these things without it coming at the expense of actual money and their well-being God now I want to own all those [ __ ] Roblox items I'll be the Kingpin you want your Dominus [ __ ] was it the Dominus impossibly hot hat what the [ __ ] what oh my God I don't remember any of these stupid names well you have to go through me for your parents money
