How dare they? By doing this, they can snatch all the really great developers earning standard game dev salaries. /s

I’m a father of a then-little girl who was molested by one of her 2nd grade classmates. What came out of the safety investigation, the boy who molested her was taught that behavior through unmoderated sexually oriented user generated content on Roblox. I am stunned to see you recommending people should actually work for this groomers cesspool, with said content persisting to this day. The only reason I can imagine is you work there. And if you do, then fucking do something about it.
This had grave consequences for my daughter, the trauma, the PTSD, and a year of therapy.

#93Anticipating another exodus with unity devs joining the Godot community.
How will they pay their bills by contributing to godot? Would be interesting if it had a paid marketplace and some of the devs could start writing extensions for godot. That would make the engine more popular as well.

Cool, sell your soul to a corporation that literally exploits minors [1][3]. Of course they can afford to pay Silicon Valley salaries, given that most of the game development is done by sub-subcontracted child labour [2].

The evidence is astounding and the reaction to the evidence of the Roblox Corporation is horrifying.
It's more ethical to work in land mine manufacturing than at the Roblox Corporation.

#96Unity is a broken company that sells a critically broken engine. Sure, it's a great engine for rapid prototyping & releasing indie titles, but not great for getting to the finish line. I know of teams that have had to take out source licenses and edit the engine to fix & work around bugs so they could actually ship their game. Unity also don't build and release with their engine, like Epic does with Unreal & Fortnite…

For the longest time I thought being a game dev was a cool job where you made lots of money and got to do what you loved. The more I read about it the more sweatshop-ish it sounded.
"I want to work in this field because I am passionate about it" is always a license for employers to exploit their workers. Video gaming, fashion, entertainment, even social service – all new entrants into such careers quickly get a dose of reality about how glamorous they actually are on the inside.
My advice to smart CS students looking for jobs always is – find a nice company that makes business software. The more boring the job, the better your salary and work-life balance will be. You can work on your passions on the side.

> unmoderated .. user generated content
While I sympathize with your tragedy, you should have stopped at this point.

#99This makes me a little sad, unity was the thing that got me into programming in the first place, and planted the seed that
in the end became my career

Anything where you let kids talk to each other will have that problem. Roblox does have various parental controls. Also, Roblox has an ESRB rating of E10+ rating, meaning users need to be at least 10 years old. What's a second grader doing on there?
And no, I don't work for Roblox.
