People use it as a name for someone who nobody knows, although people usually know the gender hence why we have Jane Doe also.

The names "John Doe" or "John Roe" for men, "Jane Doe" or "Jane Roe" for women, or "Johnnie Doe" and "Janie Doe" for children, or just "Doe" non-gender-specifically are used as placeholder names for a party whose true identity is unknown or must be withheld in a legal action, case, or discussion.[1] The names are also used to refer to a corpse or hospital patient whose identity is unknown. This practice is widely used in the United States and Canada, but is rarely used in other English-speaking countries including the United Kingdom itself, whence the use of "John Doe" in a legal context originates. The names "Joe Bloggs" or "John Smith" are used in the UK instead,[citation needed] as well as in Australia and New Zealand (although in New Zealand these two names are as likely to mean 'any old person', the classic 'Everyman').[2][not in citation given]

Back then we had 0 players. When a player logged in, the whole office would stop working to get in game to make sure (s)he had someone to play with. We even considered hiring a high school kid to play ROBLOX all summer as a job.

I believe it was originally used in courts for people whose names were withheld for anonymity

It's used to describe the gender of an unknown person, we mostly see it in crime movies when someone dies, and they can't identify the body.
