It should at the very least get a new, better CEO. And also calm down with their focus on getting older users and encouraging user dating services. They have a solid user base with younger users, and should be focused on them and their protection.

But yeah, just shutting down might be the best option.

Why tf are they encouraging dating when their userbase is primarily children???

That's just asking for more predators on their platform!

Yeah it's crazy. They are trying to cater to older users, probably because they feel they can get more money from them.

I'm sure the predators have ample disposable income they'd spend on Roblox (/s)

just shutting down

Just to confirm – we’re all aware that it is very likely something will come in to take its place?

The kids will probably swarm over to Fortnite or Minecraft. They're both capable of filling the niche

Fortnite is already trying to rework its base game into Roblox on Unreal engine

Give it about a month and I'm sure there will be (...unfortunately).
