Notch made Minecraft.
He's been a little shit since then, but at least Minecraft is pretty cool.

Oh interesting.
But you can sell apple gift cards on eBay, yeah? Sure you won't get the full value, but you get most of it. And as you said, in this case Roblox is taking a cut for the conversion anyway.
So it seems like they could've washed their hands of this by making Robux transferable/ebayable: the "casinos" would still exist, they would still benefit from the popularity of the casinos, and the Robux are still "worth something". But they got too greedy and dug too deep by trying to become the "eBay" in the situation and take a cut off both ends, and now they might be forced to make Robux effectively worthless.

I have no love for Roblox, but if it's a completely different website, isn't this kinda...not their fault?
It sounds like those IRS scams that want you to pay with iTunes gift cards -- no one claims that Apple is running the scam.
The article claims they were aware and didn't stop it, and that's why they are at fault. Maybe they could've revoked the API keys for those gambling sites? But is that even how it's set up? (I don't actually know how Robux work.)
This is accurate lol
