Roblox has lost around $70 billion in value over the past year, with its stock price down 70%
The company blamed a lack of new viral games after disappointing earnings
@Tofee3_ i’d bet it’s a bug.
certain stats (d30) being 0 for first month of release. so the other shitty stats (ptr, session time) are only being weighed. thats why games are pumped and dumped. they die exactly around 30 days too.
roblox algo promotes short-term, non-sticky, clickbaity, poorly monetized games. i dunno why. recent change exasperated this. they lied in their blog post.
all they have to do it promote high converting games $rblx
btw if anyone's curious at all on my take - it's the algo. it still does not promote longterm retention games.
pet sim 99, for example, gets 3k algo new players a day. similar CCU games get 600k-1m a day
