Now, I semi-quit ROBLOX, so I won't care if this becomes a thing or not; but I think it would be a great business move for ROBLOX, as they would be expanding onto a new platform.

For those wondering "STEAM is a PC platform, and why can't you just go onto the website and launch games from there?"

Well, you see... There's this thing that STEAM recently launched called "Steam LINK"--Steam LINK is an actual physical item that you get from EB Games for $60, and it comes with a controller + the Steam LINK device.

This "Steam LINK" allows people to stream games that are on their gaming PC to their TV. Effectvly, they can play from their couch using a Steam Controller (Or you can hook up a Xbox controller/PS3/PS4 Controller).

In doing so, ROBLOX have effectively expanded onto the world's biggest PC game's store platform.

ROBLOX has nothing to lose, and so much to gain. I'm sure their enthusiasts PC gamers would appreciate it heavily.

...and let's face it: knowing how successful ROBLOX was with their Xbox One launch, ROBLOX will probably get their name on the #1 most downloaded free game on STEAM too.

could you just open ROBLOX in Steam?
Steam link works if you open VIA ROBLOX Studio.

@Skebby, no, I tried that, it just opens a browser and messes up with the whole stream thing and you can't launch any games from doing that.

You can use other services, like NVIDIA Moonlight.
Or just a really, really long HDMI.

@Skep

That's not practical though, I have a 3 story-home, my gaming PC is on the third floor, and the home-theater is on the first. Running a wire, and or drilling through floors/walls to do it, is more work than it's worth.

Plus, I don't think a wireless signal can reach all the way up to my gaming rig.

And Moonlight just uses STEAM-coding, so it won't work either.

I don't really support this as a personal choice, however I can see others doing it with their own reasons.
Support on their behalf.

You wouldn't be able to play games on tablet/mobile devices.

People already have access to play Roblox on their Xbox one.

And I think It's probably best for Roblox to stay independent.. (Besides from working with microsoft to make the xbox one hookup)

@crown

What are you talking about?

Steam and Microsoft have nothing to do with each other as Steam is not owned by them.

Did you even read what I said? -_____

In a nutshell, ROBLOX will expand to Steam like they expanded to Xbox One.
