Roblox is the biggest video game that peaked at a whopping 20 to 32 million players active but has now flopped to 2.4 to 2.6 million players active. Press Gang dived into the situation to tell you why.
Roblox is a platform just like YouTube but for games, it doesn’t share videos. It lets people create their own games freely.
One reason the numbers have dropped dramatically is because of the beloved chat feature becoming restricted.
Chat was another crucial part of the Roblox community.
People use chat to trade, talk, strategise and more. Now, you have to either give ID or take a photo to get chat back, just to only talk in your own age group.
“My first game on Roblox was Brookhaven because I could talk to other people in peace,” said Marcus Yr 6.
To think that such a popular platform would plummet so much just with one feature getting changed.
What is your opinion about these updates? Will you keep playing?
