roblox is going through club penguin syndrome, where a virtual world gets "professionalized" and "commercialized" to the point of players wanting to leave the game.
if you don't get what i meant by 'club penguin syndrome', well, club penguin, believe it or not, used to be a pretty ok game. that is, before disney bought it. now club penguin has disgusting clothes and is full of od'ers, and is pretty much dead.
that's what happening to roblox as well.
we can observe this in a few points:
1 - roblox changed their logo. yes, yes, we understand that it's because roblox is a 'developing platform' or whatever.
the logo was fine though.
2 - roblox started making toys
this is what i mean by 'commercializing'. soon roblox ads will be on tv.
3 - roblox is creating new faces
expect more of these type: https://www.roblox.com/catalog/616381207/Friendly-Smile and less of this: ##########################################################
that's because roblox is becoming more commercialized and professional, wanting to attract more users this way. but someone needs to tell roblox that it is NOT working. club penguin went through the same thing, and burned down horribly. it had a good community, really. but now it's dead.
the same thing will happen to roblox if the people at roblox don't realize what they're doing.
soon roblox will kick out the existing moderators and replace them with bots who give you automated messages if you report things, and complimenting legoseed on his cooking won't get you a reply anymore.
i never knew this would happen to roblox, and i'm saying it now, so perhaps someone can find this thread in the deep archives of the forum a long time from now.
roblox probably will not have the same community as it does at the end of 2017.
instead, it will have a brand new, glossy, perfect community full of 7 - 8 year olds who play games rather than make their own.
and for those who do want to make them, roblox will probably quit using lua and rather use one of their own, "kid-friendly educational interface."
soon all of us "awake" players (e.g. understand wth's going on) will migrate off to other games, probably won't see each other again.
you're probably like "oh, look, another "roblox is dying" thread, only this one is longer."
this isn't that.
roblox really is dying.

oh, wow! roblox is ALREADY converting! see, when i said hashtags, i was actually giving out a ROBLOX LINK to a ROBLOX FACE, which was an old face. it was called the frightening unibrow.. try copying and pasting the link to it, it comes up as hashtags.
there's your living proof roblox only wants to advertise its commercial/professional items. |

club penguin did have a community.
in fact, they had a small one called the "forestarians", who hung out in the forest.
it's super weird, kinda like OTers in an alternate universe?
they have their own wiki, google 'forestian wiki'.
basically a community just like ours, who faded away to other games because of club penguin's new glossiness. |
