@JasFops Because Germany doesn’t hand out driver’s licenses inside of cereal boxes. Quite literally a skill issue for the west

@asimo3089 It’s a confusing mix of excitement and uncertainty. Hard to digest how quickly everything is changing!

@RootieDaHoodie I think we know why it takes up so much space vs game ads ☹️

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

Why is #roblox showing me ads for Red 40 candy in my home recs??

Im on a paid Plus subscription as well.

Please don’t do this :/

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

I tried my best

The Roblox Innovation Awards holds its 2nd fight with @AbstractAlex up against @berezaagames in Dueling Grounds.

@SigmaTechRBLX I believe you but I’ll check in 6 months when I open the app!

@prest4n The algorithm is doing the opposite of what their blog posts claim across our portfolio.

They tell us to prioritize D30 yet we see new game launches getting 10x the home recs.

Why build high quality games when they are telling us to stay simple?

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

I think Roblox and Steam compete for very different audiences

Roblox: majority of players are free. spenders want to spend money in social experiences, often to flex or get ahead of free users.

Steam: majority of users are paid, buying games is the platform. players show up with money, expecting to be advertised new games

tl;dr does the roblox player with $30 to spend want to spend it on a game full of other people who also spent $30? or spend it on games they can show off their purchase socially?

Nice call out. We're testing algorithm improvements to ensure games that retain players long-term can be discovered by the largest possible audience. More soon.

@zeuxcg the engine has been complete since Terrain.GrassLength

@KyleHulse Didn’t expect “Brainrot Pie” to be in my vocabulary this week

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

@Roblox There was a surge in open world RPGs?

Twin Atlas worked with @Netflix to build the official KPop Demon Hunters @Roblox game!

We're always trying to raise the bar for what's possible on Roblox - and I'm unbelievably proud of what we've built.

A unique mix of fashion, roleplay and combat - check it out!!

@RootieDaHoodie I don’t understand how the profile page is so terrible. It should be an anchor for a creator-driven platform.

Instead it’s a mess with no clear purpose or vision, besides a vague attempt at upselling UGC.

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

@Quenty This is what trailblazing looks like

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

@SigmaTechRBLX @yourius @RobertJALA I really like the "Flight hours" analogy.

The "test" when designing consumer products is... real people.

Trying & failing is a better feedback loop than test scores.

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

@Sofbit I would love to have my home page exclusively show me Fantasy RPG & Racing games

[AbstractAlex @Abstractalex]

Roblox is testing burying the "Continue" sort, just like they did with Favorites.

This is to make you play games the algorithm wants, instead of what you already play.

This especially hurts because Roblox has no "Not Interested" button or way to hide things from your feed.

Do you think this is healthy for the platform? I think user choice is important.

@AlgyLaceyRBLX That’s exactly what I was doing when I took this video 😅
