Please do not lock if you answer, why XBox One, not Linux?

Yes, an opinion is a very helpful answer for a question asking for an objective reason for a choice.

Linux Mint + Ubuntu + Debian(top 3 most popular distributions) would take over XBox ONE in popularity definitely(>11 million).

Linux is very rare among-st users on this game. mean while consoles are very common in the house hold.

So yeah.

Then ROBLOX will make less profit.

@magic, how so?
the 3% of users using linux probably have better things to do. i can see people using it if they just built a PC and haven't got enough for the OS yet but there's pretty much no other reason to use it.


i mean, no other reason for teenagers and kids to use it for.

The amount of children in Linux is rising, some of them do want some games, also, ROBLOX amongst Xbox One apps will not show off too much, unless there is a "new games" category.
But then some do not want to do anything with the store. ROBLOX in Linux is as easy to find as in Windows. If we cut down Linux do Debian, it can compare to Xbox One.

So ROBLOX is wasting more money now than they would, if they ported it to Linux.

LOL

And

Profit margins if they made roblox on linux is no where near as great if they were to make ROBLOX on XBOX [which they are]

I feel like if someone really wanted to play roblox on linux that they would dboot [dual boot] linux with macOS or windows.

The true question is, why not PS4? There's plenty of people willing to play it on a PS4.

as it already runs on windows, it's easier to convert to console as Xbox is Microsoft. Ps4 would be harder as its Sony.

Still lots of profit to be made there though.

True answer:

programming for pc is hard enough as it is.

i don't believe it's as easy as it seems to simply port all this stuff over to ps4/xboxone/etc.

especially with the vastly different framework consoles have.

I don't agree with you statement. I feel like there is next to no profit to be made there. From what I see, ROBLOX makes money when they sell BC or ROBUX. If there is any money being made from linux, it's already being made. Any browser that can access this site, can purchase Robux/BC.

Most of the people who buy ROBUX/BC, use it for on site applications 95% of the time. Things such as hats, clothing, limiteds, gear, basically anything on the catalog. [estimate] That other 5% is what's being spent in game, on gamepass, game access, and other stuff.

Not all people who browse this site, play the actual games.

But on XBOX, roblox gets a "paycheck" for how many people are downloading the game, how many people are purchasing stuff on the app for ROBLOX, and how many people buy a subscription for Microsoft Gold.

Don't get me wrong, Linux is a good alternative to Windows.

But, the most common use for it is servers, and it has barely has a 2% market share

Are you really comparing Linux to a top-selling brand-new console like the Xbox one?
Honestly who even uses Linux?
