Did they at all think for a second before perfectly recreating ROBLOX's likeness. Their pitch, design, and business plan is the exact same, as well as the feel of the website, and the look of their forums.
They'll get sued and will shut down within a year.
ROBLOX is way too unique to be copied like that without breaking laws. The likeness of the characters is even the exact same as on ROBLOX.
It'd be neat if it were possible but BloxCity is way too much alike ROBLOX to ever succeed, it'll get destroyed because of that.

Adil, your negative response to this thread is not required. Kendrick has a right to express his opinions, even if you do not agree with them.

@nirmologist
there's a difference from being inspired by something and stating they are not at all related to something and being an exact copy of something.

I mean, if it was at all unique they'd have a chance but... They're copying everything from the specific concept of ROBLOX to the site layout to the character and engine design to the style and personality of the game. It's ridiculous, and it's a great example of why you shouldn't run a brand without either legal experience/knowledge or access to someone who is able to provide that knowledge. You'll screw yourself over.
And even if it does survive, the community is only nice because it's new. The same thing happened to ROBLOX and the same thing happened to the clan community on here. If somehow BloxCity survives a lawsuit by ROBLOX, its community would take the same dive in a few years.
@Nirm you have no idea what you're talking about. LEGO suing ROBLOX would be like LEGO suing Mega Blox. They have a lot of similarities but the brands are completely different in portrayal and conceptualization. The characters, design, and marketing are different. And Lego is a real, physical toy. ROBLOX is a simple-geometry based creatable world which is made unique, both literally and legally, by the players who can not only create the world online but introduce their own scripts and assets to develop games that could even be genuinely viable. The concept is kinda similar but the execution and purpose is very different.
The reason ROBLOX can sue BloxCity and win is because BloxCity is a down to earth copy of ROBLOX. Everything on BloxCity was at the very least heavily inspired by ROBLOX, and a lot of things, such as the designs of the characters, the layout of the website, or the application of their virtual catalog(and specific items on that catalog) have been directy copied.

| Bashing a site before it's actually released... Xb has been in contact with some mods and they plan on re-rendering everything and making it look better. The fact that you're sitting here talking about obviously says it's bigger than any other remake of roblox. I'm willing to see where it goes in the future. Will it be better than roblox or be as big? Who knows. |

Well, you can't really say that it will be as good or better than roblox considering it was made ten years after.

| Not just that, they didn't even think about the gameplay. They're obviously going to try to replicate the game engine, which is going to pretty much >seal< their fate of being sued - they'll have too many similarities. |

| The only way they can be sued is if they steal some coding from roblox itself, which I highly doubt they will. |

"The only way they can be sued is if they steal some coding from roblox itself, which I highly doubt they will."
You reallllyyy have no idea what you're talking about. Every single asset ROBLOX has posted, from the concept of the game to the game engine to the site layout and everything on the catalog has legal standing as ROBLOX's property, and ROBLOX has established copyright for the vast majority of those things. Sure, stealing code from ROBLOX and using it in a commercial venture is one of the ways that BloxCity can be sued, but they also stole game designs/character designs, catalog items and designs, and the general site layout. ROBLOX's entire brand has been in one way or another pirated by BloxCity. That's grounds not just for a potential lawsuit, but for one that would be ridiculously successful.

| Hey! It's just a FAN REMAKE. I doubt it's going to be EXACTLY like Roblox. It has Tickets (Coins) for an example. And you can turn Coins into Cash (Robux). In Roblox, turning Tickets into Robux would be cheating! |

@Story fangames which aren't totally similar but are still quite alike get sued all the time. Some get endorsed but they're usually based as "sequels" to campaign games. Games like ROBLOX wouldn't benefit from that so they'd sue. And they'd win too. Like I said, it's practically identical. Also, before they removed tix, you actually could change them into ROBUX? lmao
@IStahll Another reason it'd physically die in court.
But what do I know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

I'd like to start my own ROBLOX clone that's in the legal white zone, but I absolutely refuse to write software for Windows, mostly because of the problem of having to get a license to develop Windows software (hint hint, it's not in the Windows EULA... afaik) from Microsoft.
The same applies for Apple and Oracle with Solaris.
Hence, all of my "Windows applications" are all in Java and tend to avoid actually interfacing with Windows at all.
If I made a ROBLOX clone, it would be a Linux exclusive... would you guys like to see that someday? In the far far far future?
