Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company, due to both co-founder Baszucki's lack of interest in press coverage and it being "lost among the crowd" in a large number of platforms released around the same time. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s,
Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox has over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States.[9][10] Roblox has received generally positive reviews from critics.

How do you feel about gambling on roblox?
👇
(THANKS FOR 38K WE ARE SO CLOSE TO 40K)
Bad.
Its dumb.
I hate it I’m usually a free to play and I don’t even have a chance against anyone else in most Roblox games
In pain, even if I bother to spend money it's never on gamepasses
you love gamble (this is definetly not gaslighting, because you love gamble 🤤🤤)
Honestly i kind of want the copyright and gambling issue to come full force back at roblox and developers so they learn to not be so greedy, because roblox is DEFINETLY letting the gambling systems pass so they also get a lot of money
faxs
David is addicted to exploiting children for revenue
@@TechyOP_yep
@@TechyOP_yeah he is a billionaire he don't need more money
That would mean the end of most good games too. Even games like astd, which is basically anti p2w, would still be over. No more bloxburg, no qnime adventures, or pet sim, or pretty much every game. Your idea sucks.
Props to techyop for making entire videos and fire content over questions we already know the answer
Just spreading the word 😭

I think as well as getting money, many devs are too lazy to add in a system to allow for you to grind to obtain a certain ability in a certain way. For example if you were in a jojo game and you had to do a certain quest line to get a certain stand you want and they become more difficult if they are better stands or locked behind some sort of progression. So many games now are so lazy and unoriginal, not just the anime ones. Simulators used to be peak laziness, but I still thought they were fun sometimes, but now its just sitting there with an auto clicker and then fighting the next level of stand still boss while you try to click faster. It honestly sucks to see.
Yea many of them use these systems as a shortcut and a cop out for actually adding interesting progression systems to their games
Tech you forgot to mention that Roblox actively pushes these cashgrabby games to the front page no matter how criminal they are. Roblox doesn't care if the game infringes on copyright laws cause they know fans of stuff like skibbidi toilet and shonen jump will eat up their games, which equals profit. In the future I can imagine the governemnt and copyright laws both doing a tag team lawsuit against roblox, and I want it to happen cause if not, david wont stop anytime soon.
Roblox even increased the price of ROBUX a month ago so we recieve less robux for more cost.
Makes roblox more money but it’s super risky at any point the law can just step in and roblox would automatically lose that battle
@@TechyOP_i remember Visual Venture says that Roblox empire is built out of card house which means it's super vurnable because the amount of times they got away with anything with smallest loopholes. Just 1 legal action by goverment itself can tear down Roblox greatly which is something i'm hoping for.
I kinda feel like they are getting greedy because they realize they can just make trash games but some UA-camrs will just spend money on a game no matter how bad it is
We contribute to the spending the most 😭
I wonder who would ever do that….

I think there's been a increase in games requiring a payment to even play the game. They seem to forget however, that when you place a price tag on a game, the expectations and criticism levels rises heavily. When it comes to gambling the only issue I had with your poll is the fact it was either, people loving it or hating it and wanting it gone. I think other options such as liking it, but wanting it to be more fair would have been a good edition since I think currently one of the biggest issues with the gacha we see on roblox is the fact that the rates and balance are an extreme mess and f2p unfriendly. I think there could be a place for gacha systems if there were more fair and weren't forcing players to spend esstinally to keep up. This is of course ignoring the issue with roblox being filled mainly with children gambling lol. Consider this comment just a small thought or devils advocateIi suppose.
Love this counter argument and yea I agree the poll could’ve definitely been more in depth but I wanted a bigger pool of votes so I chose a simpler option
@@TechyOP_ I figured as much and completely understand. Just hope this greed/gambling issue on roblox is fixed in a healthy way. (As in not having a major corp come in and sue the hell out of them)
games like astd and shinobi life 2 a great f2p gacha games i have everything in both games and most of the gamepasses from dungeon(the rates on the gamepasses in dungeon are pretty low though) in shindo
The games that cost money to get access to are the best. They have no microtransactions and everyone gets a fair chance at the game. Thats why i mostly play those paid access games.
JJI is like, you pay 30$ to be Tester.
You're practically paying 30$ to be unpaid employee.
Makes no sense at all 😭😭😭people playing to perform a 9-5 job
@TechyOP I've just gotta say that there isn't a single video you've made that I did not 100% enjoy. The content you present is super entertaining to hear, and combined with the gameplay in the background, the music, and the appealing font of the subtitles, your content is always super enjoyable. I think that over time, you're bound to gain a huge following because anyone who's even slightly mature and is into Roblox, or will reach that level of maturity within a couple years and is a Roblox kid right now, will definitely enjoy your content. The current audience you have is likely Roblox lovers who aged a little, and so this cycle of kids that love Roblox maturing and then encountering your videos will definitely leave them intrigued, adding to your audience. I know that many UA-camrs after a while will take a long break from UA-cam because of new chapters in their lives, but I will say that I hope you never stop creating!
This comment genuinely almost made me tear up while reading ngl I really appreciate these kind words as I go through a lot outside of UA-cam and within it. So to see my content be appreciated by the audience I wanted to reach which is people around my age it makes me so happy! I will continue to try to create better and better content and always improve I AM GOING NO WHERE 🫡
Couldn't have agreed more
good on you bringing attention to this, keep it up
Jujutsu infinite, anime adventure and blox fruits made me realise how much devs really make of these type of roblox games
Yknow its bad when blox fruits out of the three is the one with the least gambling/monetization problems
People really thought roblox devs were broke 💀💀💀
yes they do a shit ton of money, idrc, chase the bag, but damn like, axiore got sent a rolex from the bf devs because he hit a milestone wtf 😭
I completely agree with you! (Also in anime adventures good traits isn't required)
something about shinobi life 2 is that you can just earn spins by playing the game and/or codes, and if you roll a certain item (limited/skin) it's yours to keep
This is why I love The Strongest Battle Grounds, you dont need to spend money to have fun, just time. You can buy something to have slightly more fun (Private server plus, Early access) but its not needed, thats how most games should be
I see why tsb is popular now 😭
Agree with that statement.
this is part of the reason why i think the TSB epidemic is so big, and honestly why im glad it's such a big trend, because these games are NOT greedy at all
The strongest battlegrounds sucks
@@hildalaw7627 the combat?
I have never agreed or fully watched a roblox youtube video, but this right here is something else. 👏
Thanks fam glad you enjoyed 🔥
This was a great video! But just to add onto the AA part of the video, if you **really** wanted to make your units reach full potential, you should know that the attk, spa, and range stats are randomized from around -10% to +10%, and if you want to reroll them you would need to grind daily raids or pay $, same goes for curses but only affects two stats. Also you could get double traits, meaning there's a possibility of getting unique + some other trait, but god knows how low the chance for that is.
Edit: Many people including myself might defend the games they play saying something like "0.5% for a unit is actually pretty generous compared to other games" just goes to show how shitty the current landscape of games is. I don't think Roblox would be able to address this issue without royally fucking up almost every popular game, but who knows? They did try to turn Roblox into a dating site.
Yo I'm so proud seeing your channel growing up been here since 1k subs🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you sticking around 🙏🏿
I played Blade Ball in their first day of release, and i liked the game so much that i grinded for a whole week, but when the game exploded and so much ppl started playing, the devs added many microtransactions
Dude this is just so crazy and sad. Btw HAPPY HOLIDAYS TECHY
Same to you!
a game called parkour reborn also used the same method as jji and they were aware of the TOS and only decided to stop using that method when jji was taken down
Smart of them
Grand piece online is pretty much held behind a paywall even now as you don’t start or even unlock a fruit bag for free so like alot of the game is locked behind a wall as you can’t have a single fruit unless you eat it
i see this with one of my personal favorite games where yes its not p2w (its kinda just said its not p2w cuz it sounds better :d) the fighting style (the like power) hitman what is a 1% is overpowered and takes time
to get without spending or alts and the other 1% powers like hawk is op but others like slugger suck and just makes it harder to get the better. just giving my thoughts on gacha in one of my fav game! also amazing video
oh untitled boxing game is fun and a f2p
@@TheBlackGamer006 the point was im complaining i cant get hitman in my first 5 spins 😭
in case of aopg, you can buy gamepasses but i think almost everything you can get with gamepasses you can get for free and pretty easily later in the game, anime adventure does suck a lot with its trait system and low rates
As a jujutsu infinite player, the people that buy tester get amazing codes that gives thousands of spins so you don't have to buy spins. You can also get spins from regular loot boxes (please let me justify my awful spending habits)
its not the kids spending money, its the ones who played roblux as a kid and now have jobs. they are the ones who dont mind spending 100 robux on a hat
I hate when they have those in game money systems where one currency is super easy to get but doesnt buy you anything that useful, while theres another that holds all the value and is the only way to get anything good, but is super hard to obtain without microtransactions.
Its oddly specific but something ive seen so many times.
Nice videos as always, remember when u were at 7k subs, keep it up!
Thanks for sticking around fam
Np
It sucks how my brother stuck in the gambling issue, He would play blox fruit for hours just for a sake of good powers. But with a side of gambling and greed it gotten worse to the point I wishing anyone who owned OP to sued em already.
Depends on what game we talking about. Ofc there are devs that really want to make a good game and devs who just want money from their players
Couldn’t have said it better myself, I used to play ZO samurai on roblox back in 2021 but it started to become quite stale for me. It was a battlegrounds game and the standard combat and kill effects were nice but it just became a site for gambling where people would spend thousands of dollars for weapon skins that don’t even help them in combat. Yes games shouldn’t be pay to win but they shouldn’t be pointless micro transactions either. The game was enticing so people spent money on it and every update was a new skin that most of the playerbase couldn’t even get and not the nerfing of weapons like the tanto or multiple glitches back in it’s time.
6:14 I mean Ur correct but the game I kinda made to be normally playable without traits and except traits there if nothing to the core gameplay that needs a micro transaction
took a long break and came back and everytime i play a game i always get shoved in the face with microtransactions
short answer is yes. cus of games where you can just buy your way to Victory it makes other devs just think the same way. Also W Techy uploads as usual. : )
Thanks 🙏🏿
I remember my friend saying he reported Jujutsu infinite and that same day all that drama happened
Glad ik about to this before I leave high school because I plan on becoming a game developer my self but one that works on actual big games like mortal combat or god of war
gl out there man
You can do it 💪
@@Orangecatlegend thanks Ik it’s gonna hard and now everything gonna smooth I gotta be prepared
@@revokerop258I'll be there for the god of war game.
@@eobardthawne82 lol I will remember you
I legit was planning on playing fruit battlegrounds and spinning fruits before this popped up on my feed lmao
Can't forget about the clan system where the 1% (or less) rarity second names give you stat buffs for some reason
I understand this in certain cases cus the buffs may have something to do with the lore(for example a jjk game with the satoru clan that gives the player the six eyes or sh1t) but most of the time it just boils down to gambling
used to really like astd cuz it had gamemodes and some units we're basically as strong and u could use your own way to reach leaderboards now its all abt grinding 7 stars for meta
6:34
And what I find crazy is that it's just a mixture of rapture and infinity with some effects from reaper
It's all gone downhill since phantom 💀💀
Got too careless ig
Eu sinceramente sinto falta dos jogos que não tem nenhum item pra comprar, a não ser os cosméticos e efeitos de animação pra deixar o jogo bonito. Porque assim o jogo poderia viver e não usar os jogadores como se fossem ratos.
This is the reason i choosen exploit over playing normal in thos typ of game frfr
I remember when you could spend a low amount of robux for an extremely good deal. These gambling systems could exist but games like anime adventures make it almost impossible to get what you want just by grinding. These systems should be like if you want to spend money you can but if you put in hard grinding work then you can make up for it, not enough grinding that it’ll take you years tho lmaoo
I hope rell seas will have something like bloodline bag in Shindo. You pay once for one important thing and that's all, the other things are purely cosmetic or like the radio pass, which only allows you to swap music. The devs get their 400-600 bobux, and I receive my one time transaction.
Blud I'm getting tired of going to CVS just to get a gift card to roll and spin for something so simple.
Worst part about blade ball is that it’s copied from deflect which is from genji ball(overwatch) which is from pyro ball(tf2)
I have an idea for a game that has lineages but to make it unique im gonna make the most common lineages the most op while the rarest are trash to teach that rarer isn't better
This is why I play different games like Dragons Donna (peak fiction) and tekken 8 (peak fiction)
Anime Adventures gives me PTSD, I spent AGES to hopefully get a unique But failed to do so, However, My Friend got unique on his FIRST attempt.
It's truly sad how games rely so much on emptying your wallet, and the amount of RNG-based shit.
I even stopped playing the game as a whole by deleting all my shit, which made all the time I spent wasted, But, It was absolutely worth it to get out of the rabbithole.
Anime adventures provides you with an addiction and ptsd what a shame 😔 (thanks for the super chat again you don’t understand how much I appreciate it)
@@TechyOP_You’re one of the only knowledgeable individuals that realizes how bad roblox is currently.
Bros mad he has to pay to win as he continues to donate 5 dollars☠️
@@Hi_foodmeDonating isn’t pay to win LMFAO. I’m just supporting the creator, What’s wrong with that?
The only exception for big price tags that I’ve seen is parkour reborn because when it was in alpha and had zero micro transactions
That’s how paid access is supposed to be so respect to them
Thx my g
👍🏾
ngl i already basicly quit roblox for the time being might come back when jujutsu infinite, rell seas, or holy war x releases and this is mainly due to not only roblox being dry but also all the good roblox games requiring extreme rng or p2w
The gamboling one with anime adventures uses a technique called dopamine to get there players to spend money on it
I have been playing anime adventures for a while now and i barely spent a single robuc on it, but i do feel like the monetization of the trait rerolls is bogus and i cant understand why people spend hundreds of reobux for like 10-20 of it when you can get more from quests and bp.
tbf aa's real problem is traits, all the other things can be obtained w some grinding, units are not that hard to get
Because if you don't spend, you will be just another unpaid employee
@@ateusantificado what
I as a f2p am suffering but I never pay I always leave game like anime adventures use codes and wait till a couple updates later then spin cus first higher chance to get something good second 0 paid third the units I will get will be better than the current ones
Theres so many codes for fruit bsttlegrounds to the point where buying gems in obsolete making the "gambling" money less
4:57 The only game that has balanced FORMS is peroxide you can have common or rare that can be even better than legendary
another game that i dont see being brought up lately is aur. the game was free to play but took a little break to rerelease stuff with a price tag of 50 dollars
Forgot all about that game
Gambling systems are fine as long as you have to grind in game points, as soon as it gets to the point where you are buying points to gamble or can buy points to gamble its a problem
all my best friends play these stupid gambling games, and its not even fun anymore, they spend the entire day playing anime adventures and never play anything else, and when i talk about how they are getting addicted they just get agressive, it just shows how serious gambling addiction is, and the problem is that i know these friends ever since 2016.
The on,y good anime games on roblox are the battleground ones where every character is free or can be obtained free and easily
Roblox really has fallen and the ones to blame are the devs who are too money hungry
Sadly.
Ye roblox has fallen off the last game I really enjoyed was shindo life after that right now I am enjoying peroxide other than that roblox is pretty dry.
I wanna see a video about how long rell seas survives before getting copyrighted
I feel like tix should be brought back, and like maybe overtime or by spend a certain amount of money the amount of tix you gain increases. Just a thought, feel free to let me know what you think
This is why Rell Seas is gonna be the best OP game if not the best game on Roblox for f2p players. You can literally choose your race when customize your character 😭. Literally when i saw that you can choose your race i already knew that Rell Seas is gonna be peak
bro is speaking faxs i am addicted to anime adventrues but i am gonna stop playing it cus i play it to much
and even worse is that roblox add a subscription on some roblox game to get in game item
Roblox devs get paid so well for making shi anime cashgrab games for children and gacha addicts, rather than actual unique games that are much harder and make less money, so its not that surprising that roblox devs are becoming very greedy
Yea it’s a forced cycle created from roblox
I really wanna see the day that they stopped though.
@@igotclowned Same bro. I mostly play paid-access games because they have little to no microtransactions at all. But if we want the cashgrabs to be gone, the whole community has to do something or Roblox should do something, which they most likely wont because it brings in a shit ton of cash for them.
What worst for most of them is there also no confirming pity roll.
shindo life did that first trick a lot. weekly updates but it was them just adding a bloodline full of slightly tweaked ideas/straight up copied moves. every now and then u would get a gamemode u would never play or a mechanic that quickly gets forgetten about.
another thing shindo did was the whole gambling thing. i kid u not, a few months ago they released a bloodline that is said to have only a 1/10000 chance of obtaining. I REPEAT, ONE OUT OF TEN THOUSAND CHACE. even ignoring that there are tons of bloodlines that are a 1/300 or 1/200 chance (the average is actually 1/100 for all of them, but for the ones u want its 1/200). ur gonna need at least like 15k+ spins if u ever dream of getting every bloodline in the game to try and experiment with moves and stuff. this gambling shit needs to stop.
even if a game has its merits, and even if it isnt necessarily "pay to win", i think stuff like this will automatically make it a worse game.
I agree ☝️
I like your videos btw ehats your fev game ❤️
blade ball becoming the ultimate cash grab was so unexpecting 😭
wasn't for me because they stole the idea from someone else
I kinda expected it cus most roblox games go down this route
I will not lie…I have fell into the hole of gambling on Roblox in years (stuff like PBB before deleted, +1 extra backpack in BF and recently Peroxide 💀)
But yeah hate gambling on the platform. Like every dev has sold their life and soul for the bag for their rarity spin system
It’s like a requirement to have at least one law breaking gambling system in your game
You could at least trade for +1 storage in bf
2021 was peak gaming in roblox and let me say why, first of all, alot of games that were out werent about money, it was fun, friendly gameplay, im talking about shinobi life 2, n the jojo game, aba was at its prime, abd was averaging 24k players, and the community was amazing. I can't even find a game to play now.
Ur not looking deep enough, and that’s the issue with Roblox, you have to actually search for good games, they wouldn’t even begin to approach getting recommended because of the way the recommended algorithm is unless you already play them.
God, it feels rare to find roblox devs that aren't money hungry, whatever happened to small devs taking some time out of their lives to create a small passion project, most of them in a sense die to leave behind a hidden gem on roblox or stay long as a developer to become greedy and prioritize money over its community
Play the paid-access games. Most of them have no microtransactions at all, and even though it might not have as big as a fan base as f2p games, the experience is much better.
Shinobi life is my childhood along with dragon ball z rage(the old one 😭😭😭)
Anime adventures also has the issue of getting a guaranteed ur unit at 20000 gems or else just pray to God ur lucky enough
Yes Roblox is definitely getting too greedy like if a game like death ball where you just hit a ball back and forth has 2 billion visits than we have a problem
😭😭😭
3:40 Foreshadowing 💀
ngl i love it when games make something 0.1% release codes and every spin costs like 600 robux
Can’t wait for rell seas if it’s as they say it’ll have no gambling you gotta grind for stuff
Roblox corp makes money off the way the site is currently, so there is no reason for them to change/ care unless they are forced by legal action. Gambling elements make up a huge part of there profits.
Blade ball monetization is insane
follow you since really love you
❤️
As soon as I heard toilet tower defence I had a gag reflex then I fell unconscious and reached hell itself and went back to reality. Then I threw up for 20 hours.
Im already too deep in anime adventures, all star tower defense, blox fruits , jujutus infinite and more.....
Fruits battlegrounds i have been free to play but not fully if you count the 2x exp but ive never bought spins because by god i know my luck and horrible addiction to gambling
speaking of the jujutsu infinite devs, everything went really well for them with titan warfare (another game they made) and was LITERALLY PEAK and had actual fun stuffs to play with. I remember the day that they annouced they were gonna focus on jujutsu infinite and stop updating titan warfare which gave majority of the fandom (esp on the discord server) lots of disappointment. Honestly Im also really DISAPPOINTED and SAD that they would literally require players to pay 30$ for a damn game.
Honest opinion is they should have just sticked to titan warfare and not make another project thats in for testing.
Its just funny how jujutsu infinite "testing" will probably stay forever until roblox bans it which will obviously never happen
Finished the video. I agree gambling is a huge problem on Roblox. But at the end of the day it’s up to choice. No developer is forcing anyone to buy anything. You’re supporting the developers while you get something you think is cool. Personally I have a 1000 robux limit on all roblox games because I think anything over that would be over spending. It’s already hard enough for developers to make a living. If they weren’t making money we wouldn’t have any quality games on Roblox today
There is ways to make money as a developer without adding predatory micro transactions such as gambling there is a choice and there always has been.
I wouldnt mind if it wasnt because rates are so ridiculous, like alucard on anime adventures being a 1/40k 💀💀💀
i get spinning is bad but how would you obtain magics or races its not like one piece games where you can find abilities spinning is probably the only way the best way to fix it is having it be cheaper
The way other games do it.. be balanced.
Just balance it and make it obtainable through actual means
be like rellseas make it free
bro those tanjiros 5:01 / 8:10 are the same ones un evo'd
On the topic of bladeball, there is literally a better genji ball type game called deathball where you dont have to spend hundreds of robux on an ability. Yeah obviously you can spend robux for them but half the time you get money in game to buy them plus you start with an ability of your own as well. Even if you do have to roll for it, you usually do a boss for it that gives you special currency which you get 2x as fast as the normal currency and they make the pity for it really low so it can take up to like 15 minutes half the time to even get the ability. Just reminded me of that cuz bladeball is actually trash.
whats the game name of the one where u were flying with the sword it looks cool 3:26
Grand clover
it started when they added dev ex but it nearly wasn’t as bad as it was back then
I feel like, the thing causing my gambling addiction to not get out of hand on Anime Adventures is legit
Not joking
My own laziness
Whenever a update comes out I play it for a while maybe unlock some new characters
But once I get the strongest character from that update I just
Get so bored that I don’t bother playing it anymore
Until the next update
This happened withy the summer update
I got Poseidon the best character for that update and then stopped grinding
“But why didn’t you grind for Roger?”
Why?
Because Roger was Fucking 0.01% chance to get from the stars
The sole reason I can’t have a gambling addiction is my lack of dedication to grind games
Ima grind the games for the first few days and then after that I drop the game and play some PvP based games because I’ve got what I wanted.
Laziness can quite literally counter an addiction
Yea true since most games use the gacha system to give people the option to skip the tedious grind they decided to add themselves
Yep, as the ultimate lazyman himself I can agree with this
I like the gambling part be cause I f2p every game and enjoy a grind
Blud predicted the future 3:40
Too easy knew it would come one day
6:42 this is why i play blade ball ripoffs like punch ball
Funny enough, Blade ball was a copy of an existing game called deflect where the game is exactly the same except blade ball has abilities and is more p2w, whilst the latter doesn't have any abilities and is simply about pressing F at the right time. smh
This is my opinion on AA- the trait system is cool but its so so SO p2w, it makes every unit feel different and luck is involved but if u are pay to win, EVERY time you click the spin button you spend a DOLLAR, thats actualy disgusting, if they lowered their prices to 100 for 10 or lower i might mabye buy some but $10 for only 10 spins on a tower defense game that will eventualy die or i will stop playing is horrible, it makes the $10 for the premium pass seem worth it, keep in mind u have to buy that every few weeks after it changes, outrageous
