How much money you may pay for trying to squeeze some $$$ from kids? Quite some! (LINK)

#Roblox, get ready!

The Mirror, started as #GodotEngine fork turned into the #Roblox kind of app, is now becoming #FOSS.

So the app developers will cut their fee on additional content and features but overall the app and the server are now open source. Which means instead of making yet another Roblox, like The Core and Everywhere (by BaRB), they are making "the app to make yet another Roblox of your own". Which may be a wise move.

At least someone is doing great: #Roblox shared some of their stats:

- DAU (Daily Active Users): 79.5 million, of which 46.4 million (58.4%) are over 13 years old, 32.4 million (40.8%) are 13 or younger, and for 0.7 million, the age couldn't be determined.
- Audience growth: Over the year, the DAU for the 13+ audience grew by 10 million, and the 13 or younger audience grew by 4.2 million.
- Interestingly, until about 2023, Roblox provided a more detailed age breakdown, not just for those 13 years old.

Why is the age "13 years" important?
The age threshold of "13 years" is taken from the COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) in the USA, which restricts the collection of personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. Approximately a quarter of Roblox's audience is in the USA, making compliance with this law critically important. In 2022, Epic Games paid a fine of $275 million for violating this law.

Well, I know that kids will not follow and will learn how to use VPN thanks to that motivation.

Previously, the platform was banned in Turkey, limited in Singapore (over terrorist organizations servers), got under investigation in the UK and US.

I will not post the video itself, since Roblox managed to make it look almost as bad as old Will Smith meme videos: so it's not just stealing other games, but also shape shifts objects mid-frame.

Genie 3 at least changes the environment outside of the camera vision, not right in front of the "player".

Yay! (via)

No Robux included, discounts and access to some extra features. For now, $5/month and the price will definitely go higher. The goal is to make spendings less chaotic.

Last year just one Roblox game was more popular than Fortnite or Steam. But this trend is not yet returning in 2026 and the company still operates at loss. While in time of uncertainty gross profit and market share are not the only things investors want to see.
