Eh. The nice thing about a soft keyboard is that it can be anything you want, including more display real estate. It's not as nice to type on but it seems like an advance overall to me.

Also, why the Roblox hate? I never actually played.

    Roblox is what zuckerfuck wish his metaverse could become. Millions of kids playing, another thousands working effectively for free to create content, and the very few that actually find success see that getting any money out of Roblox and into their bank accounts is hard as hell and comes with exorbitant taxes.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ -> Video is almost 3 years old, but I doubt Roblox got better for developers in any capacity.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6PYj93SGxc -> Essentially the same thing as above, but from September 2023, with some numbers updated, like the CEO saying they made "over 100 million dollars of cash in Q1" (2023), the place having over 50 million games, and more.

    I see. Thanks.

    Edit: Holy crap, yeah that's scummy. Literally manipulating children - openly, specifically children - into being whales without even knowing.

    Somehow, none of the "think of the children people" care or talk about this.
