The first is that the game has a digital collectibles marketplace for cosmetic items that were made available for a limited period of time, or in limited quantities. The last two issues People Make Games raised are tied together. As a result, he still appears to be involved in development and profiting off the continued operation of the game, with Roblox considering the matter closed. While Roblox eventually deleted the developer's personal account, he had transferred ownership of the game to a separate account representing the development team. The shift toward games being developed by teams has also resulted in less accountability for abusers, People Make Games said, going into the case of the developer of one Sonic the Hedgehog fan game who flirted and sexted with a 12-year-old girl. People Make Games also noted a lack of recourse for people wronged in such a way, noting that talking about managerial malfeasance on the Roblox developer forums falls under the category of harassment. One such developer told the outlet he kept quiet about what happened because the platform has a culture against speaking out or people risk being seen as difficult to work with. The most successful games on the service are made by teams of people, there's little recourse for developers whose managers decide to change the terms of their arrangement or renege on previous deals. The outlet took issue with four more aspects of Roblox, starting with a lack of oversight over the people and organizations making games on the platform. The original report also caused a number of Roblox users to approach People Make Games to discuss other ways the user-generated gaming platform neglects to care for the children who use it. That original report drew nearly 900,000 views, and as the outlet's Quintin Smith explained in a follow-up video today, a response from Roblox saying People Make Games should pull the video off YouTube because of 'a number of errors' that it refused to detail. In August, People Make Games posted a video to YouTube reporting on a number of ways the Roblox gaming platform arguably exploits its core user base of children between the age of 9 and 15.
