Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Fans suspect Roblox employee made headless horseman free for three minutes.
According to fans on Twitter, they noticed that Roblox headless horseman was free to every user for only 3-5 minutes, before it was restored with its normal price tag.
The biggest metaverse game, Roblox, is under fire for false advertising of being a safe space for children, and parents are not happy with how much money they’re spending on the platform, only to find out their child is being groomed, sent sexual content, and being asked to perform favors among other things.
As reported by Business Wire, Roblox Corporation has been pulled into a class-action lawsuit by multiple families. Allegations indicate that the company has allowed exposure to sexual content to underage users on the platform.
Alexandra Walsh of Walsh Law, the firm representing the families, says, “There’s a misperception that Roblox is safe – the brand has a bit of a halo around it due to the company falsely advertising itself that way to parents”. She further added, “Parents who would never let their kids use TikTok don’t think twice about letting them on Roblox, even though what they encounter on Roblox can be far more harmful. The platform’s popularity skyrocketed during the pandemic when parents were desperately seeking social interaction for their children. But Roblox has overstayed its welcome in spaces designed for kids.”
She also claims that children and their parents are misled about the “efficacy of Roblox’s filtering technologies” and its capacity to make the site safe for children. As per the complaint, nude avatars, avatars engaging in sexual intercourse, and virtual strip clubs are getting through filters.
On Wednesday, Roblox also said that capital expenditures related to infrastructure will be capped at about $100 million in 2024. The gaming company expects 3.0% to 4.0% share dilution.
According to Roblox Corp, it will target north of 20% growth in annual bookings between 2025 and 2027. The company is aiming for between 100 basis points and 300 basis points a year of improvement in margins over the next three to five years.
