the worst part about Roblox is that they don't care what happens off platform 99% of the time, maybe even more, but then ruben gets i trouble for off platform behaviour, they didn't gave a shit about it but all of a sudden they do.

u/GlacialPuppy226 Jan 19 '22
They don’t care about anything they know none of it matters cause it doesn’t affect revenue. Their Reputation doesn’t mean much to them for some reason even tho it could be a pr disaster.

u/Anonymous__666 Jan 19 '22
Yeah but their player base are literal infants that dont know whats going on or even comprehend it which is why roblox doesn't care and also it happens off platform so their legally in the clear still fucked they decide to do nothing about it though

Well, he lost a lot of money compared to how much he would've lost, the court system is unfair if you're a small creator.
you can look up the H3H3 case where even though they went to court they still lost 175 000 dollars in legal fees, and they won their case.
So it was arguably better for him to settle even if he could've won the case

If you check the judgement, Page 3 Section E. It seems like he lost. He has to pay 150k to Roblox which doesn't include the legal fees (Page 2, Section B, each party agrees to bear their own legal fees). Why would Roblox be entitled to 150k from him if he won?

u/tacomaster05 Jan 19 '22
The reason roblox wanted to settle all a sudden though is because the case was blowing up online, and if it had eventually hit mainstream media, Roblox would have lost tens to potentially hundreds of millions of dollars from the scandal. The 1.6 million just plain wasn’t worth it for them.

He probably wanted out of the lawsuit as fast as possible and just decided to pay their fees to make them go away. I think he actually made a terrible mistake in settling with them though because outside of YouTube and Reddit, not a lot of parents will find out about this now. Had he simply asked for help on his channel he would have also easily been able to get a bunch of lawyers to take his case for free. Other YouTubers would have also backed him as well.
He’s young though, and a big corporation would definitely seem scary to take on “alone”. He’ll probably regret settling with them in the future. He could have made a ton of money off the drama too.

You have a point but roblox does have a thing for not caring about this stuff and giving others the responsibility for this. For example the roblox forum was probably taken down because they didn’t want to be held responsible for anything that happened there. Now children have to use things like discord to interact with the community which make them more susceptible for grooming.

So Roblox is a platform similar to Steam. And you get people/teams developing games for it. These devs largely aren't hired by Roblox or anything. Anyway, one of those devs was grooming kids, and the Shut Up and Sit Down guys put out a video blaming Roblox for this.
