It's more likely a server list error

It's a big roblox event that occurs every year, there is bound to be a lot of players in it

The problem is, every other year, roblox used ads to popularize the game and as a result, other games player count would go down. This year roblox decided to just fake the player count to put it onto the front page -- and the other games player count is relatively static.

seems a bit hacky considering they run the site xD But nothing wrong with it.

It just came out. The reason it's up so fast is for the exact reason I mentioned.
Please leave a dislike so roblox will see out disappointment.

I checked and this is true. The page also leads to a McDonald's add page. Every time you click the game a McDonald's add appears. Is it sponsored by them or something?

Ufail,
thats wrong. The lobby is in a game universe and it's not the primary game. What you're seeing is fake players. Not a single advertisement was uploaded.

Good catch alpha,
It is sponsored by mcdonalds! That's probably why roblox is trying to get it us ASAP.

I was doing some research and someone said they use "Universes" so there are multiple games in the game.
