Roblox was broken on Deck and linux by the addition of a new anti-cheat. The way the Sober app gets around the anti-cheat is by instead running the android app. This apparently has some significant performance improvements over the usual PC app as well, with people reporting up to twice the performance on the same hardware. I know people are pretty dismissive of roblox (myself included), but it’s hugely popular and it’s always good to have the option.

Wanted you to be aware of the abandoned Github organization, as no one may hear about a Roblox FOSS clone. UPDATE: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/openblox-an-open-source-re-implementation-of-robloxs-api/11566 question Would anyone revive it? Will you add federation (presumably ActivityPub) on revival?

The lifespan of a game is much longer than it used to be. Games no longer look or feel out of date the following year. Roblox is 20 years old, Minecraft came out in 2009. Seven years is really not that long to be getting a remaster. Shit a Killzone could probably use a remaster before any of the Horizons.

Steam doesn’t even fit the criteria of the FTC definition. It wasn’t Steam that raised the price of games to $70, it was actually done by Take-Two followed by Sony, Activision and Nintendo. And it was Microslop who first tried to normalize the $80 price tag before Nintendo swooped in and made it a reality. And Steam didn’t tell Team Cherry to raise the price of Hollow Knight which is why it released with a $20 price tag. In fact during it’s entire “monopolistic” stage Steam has never set the price of any game except their own (which they priced a market price). Even the 30% cut wasn’t pioneered by Steam, 30% was roughly what retailers used to take. Valve simply rolled with what was a reasonable cut back in the day because they were effectively replacing retailers. As for the rest, I don’t know you’ve been living under a rock but some the most successful games today are not on Steam. Minecraft is not on Steam, Roblox is not on Steam, Fortnite will never be on Steam, Blizzard games (except Diablo IV and OW2) are not on Steam, Riot games are not on Steam. But maybe you meant indie games that haven’t made a name for themselves? We don’t know if those games would’ve been more successful had they released on Steam but Vintage Story seems to be doing just fine without being on Steam and the same could be said about Starsector. The upcoming Hytale game doesn’t seem to be releasing on Steam either. Steam is not a requirement for success. And of course you can always try to partner up with Sony or Nintendo and release PS or Switch exclusives. Steam has a market dominant position on PC because Valve understands the market they’re in while their competitors in the PC space don’t. However in the wider gaming space Steam is hardly a monopoly. Steam Deck has sold about 4 millions units (numbers from Feb 2025) and people talk like it’s going to change the gaming landscape, meanwhile Microslop has sold almost 30 million units (numbers from the end of 2024) of Xbox series S and X and this gen of Xbox is considered a failure. The scale at which Microslop, Sony and Nintendo operate is completely different. In the wider gaming space Valve is in no position to set prices or exclude competitors because Valve has extremely low market penetration outside the PC landscape. Steam can’t even influence the PC market because it’s an open platform. Hypothetically if games on Steam started costing $100 then developers could just release games on their own and set their own price. Furthermore Steam is in competition on the PC marketplace and also in competition with consoles because at the end of the day people have a limited time to play games and they’re going to play games on whatever platform is most comfortable to them. If Steam stops being comfortable and Sony or Nintendo pull their sticks out of their asses (I think is Microslop beyond saving) why wouldn’t people slowly transition away from Steam and into console gaming the same way we’re seeing a trend of console players very slowly transitioning into console + PC gamers. You have to put magnifiers on so the only thing you see is Steam and then add blinders to narrow view of the wider gaming space down to PC to be able to make some a statement about Steam being an monopoly. And if I just look into the horizon then the earth also seems flat. Just because I ignore all other evidence and focus solely on the perception that the earth is flat, it doesn’t mean the earth is flat. The same way just because you ignore everything else and perceive Steam as monopoly it doesn’t mean Steam is a monopoly. EDIT: mentioned exceptions to the Blizzard example and cleared up some wording.

We let him have Roblox for one. single. day. before we had to delete it. He found a rainbow friends server or whatever and was driving us fucking nuts chasing us around making rainbow friends noises and telling us all about the different color friends. It was exhausting.

Fuck their monopoly! Interesting monopoly when the world’s biggest PC games – Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite – aren’t even on Steam.

De Turkse autoriteiten hebben een verbod ingesteld op Roblox. Hierdoor is het gameplatform niet meer toegankelijk in het land. Het is niet duidelijk waarom de autoriteiten Roblox verbieden. Roblox heeft nog niet gereageerd op het verbod.

It’s basically a social platform + mod making platform + discord wrapped into 1 game, people have remade games like call of duty in roblox.

in most circumstances, might come across as all-too-familiar hyperbole from a member of government looking for a moral panic to latch onto. It’s just, in the case of Roblox… Nothing good can come from Christofascist Louisana moral panic yada. Let’s see how they trojan this case into enshittifying online and offline life even more…

I was vaguely aware that shit like this happened in these game but reading the exact mechanisms was gut wrenching. The c-suite for this game should be summarily executed.

I think we are giving them far too much credit. The article is written as if they are deliberately and systematically recruiting young teens. The reality is that these kids are looking for the unmodderated spaces where these sickos dwell. These kids arent stupid, they know that the content they see is filtered and when we dont talk to them about why and just tell them “because its bad” they go out and find the content themselves. From that point its pretty much a flip of a coin. They are either disgusted at what they find or the look for more, THEN yes they will find the sick people and befriend them due to similar interests in gore, beheadings, r*pe, suicide etc. This sends them down the undesirable rabbit hole. This is all because parents are too lazy or afraid to communicate with children and teens about these serious topics. But will instead allow them to reicieve moral guidence from a incel living in his mothers basement regularly masturbating to this foul content. Ive litterally watched this happen and attempted to stop/ get these kids banned. But these teens genuinely think they know better and sometimes the mods themselves are sickos or children that think its okay to have shared spaces for people under and above 18. Minecraft(java), VR chat, Rust, any mmo, roblox, gmod, gta, tf2 im sure there are 1000s more. all games with minimal modderation. Kids and teens should just be banned from social media and social gaming. they only serve to harm themselves and the unmodderated safe spaces for adults to fuck around.

Godot all the way. Roblox is not the future, and it’s owned and controlled entirely by a corporation. Your creations are owned by the corporation, and will be used to make them money, don’t be a sucker and build their next hot mini-game. Godot is fully Open Source and community controlled. It is a real proper game engine with some really powerful features. It is harder to get started using, but there are hundreds of great tutorials for complete beginners that you can follow, and tens of thousands of community assets to get you started quickly. The community is very welcoming and friendly to newbies, and Godot is taken more and more seriously as a real game engine, especially by indie devs and studios.

Turkiye being authoritarian is orthogonal to the discussion about whether a highly predatory game like Roblox which puts children in direct and unsupervised contact with paedophiles should be banned or regulated.
