      It’s a small comfort that even Twitter is giving this take the reception it deserves.

      It’s kind of wholesome. People coming together to tell the guy who built a child-exploiting, underaged-gambling “game” for kids to get fucked brings a tear to my eye.

      Founding Roblox isn’t exactly building the interstate highway system, creating antibiotics, or inventing the telephone, John.

      And look where it’s gotten us. Drunk on arrogance and the suffering of millions

      You made Roblox in order to monetize children’s naivety. We’re not giving you the nuclear codes for shit

      You build a giant ad platform and called it innovation. You’re modern day carnival barkers. Go fuck yourself
