Hello ROBLOX support, I am asking a question about types of computers. So why isn't ROBLOX available on a Google Chrome computer? Cause this is what I currently own and cannot play ROBLOX on it. Also, it it possible for ROBLOX to be available on Google Chrome computers in the near future? Please answer these questions and thank you. Also please attempt to present this as an idea of ROBLOX being able to be played on Google Chrome Computers.

Thanks,

Buffalowildwings03

I got an email from a ROBLOX worker and he said this!

"Hi there,


Thank you for contacting us.

We appreciate you taking the time to write in with your idea for ROBLOX. There is definitely a demand for ROBLOX to come to chromebooks. We have gotten a lot of feedback about this, and it's definitely something we're looking into. We also encourage you to post this and any future ideas in our Suggestions & Ideas forum here:

http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=21

It's the best way to present your idea and gain support for things you'd like to see from ROBLOX in the future. Although our Community team may not be able to respond to every post, they are always checking the forums daily for great suggestions from our players.

Sincerely,

Nate

Some types of computers cannot support the roblox coding language, known as LUA. If the fanbase with these computers grows, then roblox can develop a version for it.

Nice job getting the Mods and such to adhere to this.

If this were a petition, I'd sign.

Chromebooks are weird. Most of them are meant only for web-based operations. However since it is a modified Linux system, you can download the full Linux (Ubuntu) OS and through this you can get Steam on your Chromebook, as long as it is an Intel version, not ARM.

I doubt seeing ROBLOX add Chromebook support as they are not meant for any form of serious gaming. But who knows, they could get it to work, but it'll be as limited as your mobile devices are (but you'll have a keyboard).

Chromebooks are web-based operations, yet may not have decent graphics to even play 3D games.

Chromebooks btw run though a supercomputer from a google building. Your computer does very little work which cannot run it. There is a reason why you can't run any PC games on a chromebook. Because of PC specs which are for any chromebook, bad. Unless Google agrees with something allowing 3rd party stuff. You're unlike to see any PC game to run on a non-edited version of chrome OS.

*on not of

If you want to, boot windows through USB into your Chrome OS computer or laptop and you can be able to use programs like Roblox, steam, etc beware of errors and tech support is limited.

Chromebook's are budget laptops that have underperforming processors and minimal RAM. The intended use of Chromebooks is on-the-go web browsing.

Simply, Chromebooks are not powerful enough to handle gaming beyond of Funbrain.

Chromebooks are capable of running Roblox. If you install Ubuntu you can run Minecraft perfectly. Chromebooks aren't budget laptops, some are actually pretty expensive.

^ Nope. The last time I checked, Chromebooks start at around $200. Unless you get the Chromebook Pixel which is a complete waste of money.
