Hurricane Harvey was a catagory 4, and you saw the damage it caused.
Hurricane Irma is a catagory 5, plus it's hitting less stable land.
Both states really need the extra money and help.
BTW, the donation Roblox put together is a total scam and publicity stunt. They're acting like they're donating their own money. Actually, they're taking kids' money and putting it forward towards the donation. It's not actually coming out of the company's pocket. |

you realize that is basically ROBLOX's money?
if they're earning money from us, that becomes THEIR money, and they're putting it towards hurricane efforts.
therefore it is their money and they're doing something good.

Yep. It's better than not doing it at all, I guess.
There's $23 billion in damages. Will $100,000 really help? |

You're calling out roblox for raising money to donate
While you sit there on your computer complaining about dumb things.
I'd like to see you donate $100,000 to the Hurricane victims |

at least 100,000 is better than nothing
If I had to die over and over again while feeling the pain, that would be the worst |

@Straph
I understand what you're saying, but since they're taking it from us and directly putting it aside for the donation, it's not the same as taking it directly out of their company's account, which would be money earned from before. |

@krispy
I'm on the phone, not sitting at home on the computer, I rarely have time for that.
My business, run by me and my dad, donated $20,000. We donated out of our own pocket, not out of little kids' pockets.
If you don't understand what the difference is between 1) Donating out of the company's account and 2) collecting donations from other people is, then you shouldn't even bother commenting.
Collecting donations is great, but only if you're unable to pay yourself. Roblox is so huge that they can afford to pay themselves. |

Irma will have flooding too.
Bottom line, both hurricanes are horrible. |

I dont think your brain is functioning properly if you cant process this right. They make money off of a game THEY made, and that THEY own. We are spending OUR money, which gives them money that they EARNED. Thats like saying the money you make/can make for having a job, isnt actually yours. So that being said, yes they are donating their own money and yes 100,000 or whatever amount it is WILL help, u cant get it all from one company, and that money will help lots of families. As said before, its also better than nothing and better than u sitting on ROBLOX FORUMS, complaining.

Ikr. They should really start preparing for Irma before the damage is done.
Texas and Florida both really need help. |
