Over the years roblox has morphed from funny virtual legos to an absolute capitalist hellscape with man-made horrors beyond comprehension.
- Cronenberg Capitalism?
- My kid brother played it over a decade ago and yeah I didn't get the appeal at all, but from what I could tell it was just lil minigame mods like Garry's Mod
Every time I go to buy something on walmart.com I am reminded why I don’t shop at walmart.com
That's going to cause a lot more scammers stealing from kids. And a lot of charge backs.
Yeah, this won't go wrong at all! Nope can't see a single flaw with this idea...
I don't see how something like this would provide a better shopping experience for consumers then just going straight to wallmart.com or amazon.com or any other storefront accessible through a web browser. The only thing different is that its happening on the Roblox client (not a web browser or dedicated app) and you get a virtual item alongside the physical item (not saying the digital accessories are bad but they're definitely not much of a "perk" of purchasing through the Roblox client.)
