I was vaguely aware that shit like this happened in these game but reading the exact mechanisms was gut wrenching.

The c-suite for this game should be summarily executed.

It's a plague. So many of my students play it, and it's very hard to compete with it in terms of appealing to young children. Their business model for content makes Roblox a theme park of free games for kids who don't need to go to mum and dad for money or installation permission every time they want to try something new.
