Roblox is a platform that started in the early 2000s, entering beta around 2005. The concept itself had started long before the 2000s, but Roblox as we know it didn't get its running start until the turn of the millenium.
The primary idea of Roblox is the users power the content on the platform, most everything in Modern Roblox you see is User Generated Content (UGC). Some stuff is still made by Roblox itself, but for example, most of the catalog is UGC. So Roblox itself is merely a platform. An engine for young or new developers to get their hands on something they can use to create a project for themselves, and others, to enjoy and play.
Of course, the platform itself sounds wholesome and pure enough, yeah.. But sadly the company itself has become more and more greedy as the years go by. DevEX (Developer Exchange) is horribly divided in pay. Roblox takes about 60% of the income you get if you DevEX.
There's been horrible people exposed on the platform, and companies formed that are outwardly known to be abusive to their employees (Cough cough, GameFam cough cough) or just straight up content farms/exploitative to young players (COUGH COUGH, BIG Games COAUGH) via including gambling mechanics in-game, and making their real life merch AGREGIOUSLY overpriced.
Now please do not let that sway your opinion of Roblox as a whole.
Roblox is STILL a place full of wonderful people, great experiences/games, and is fun all around. You just need to know, that it has changed over the many years its been around.
I would be lying if I said I "missed the old Roblox. It was so much better back then!" Because.. I joined Roblox in 2015. Back then I didn't play much of it either. I don't know the old Roblox well. I started playing Roblox much more seriously when my friend Angel asked me if I wanted to help moderate their Care Bears Paper Roleplay game. I was more than happy to! It sounded like an alright thing to do, and hey I wanted to help out if I could.
Fast forward to now, and I'm still helping Angel moderate, but not for CBPRP. I've met some lovely people via Roblox, and I've met horrible people. Would I change the past if I knew all that happened? No. Roblox isn't a bad platform, it just has bad eggs souring its name.
But enough about those bad eggs. This page is meant to be here as more of a love letter to Roblox as a whole. To the old, to the new, to the future, and the present. All of it is Roblox.
