Roblox Fans Should Keep an Eye on March 22

Roblox has teased that something big will happen in The Hunt's hub on Friday, March 22 at 1 pm EST. The Hunt is Roblox's newest event and ends on March 29.
The Hunt began on March 15 and allows fans to play a wide variety of Roblox creations all organized into one hub. The new event features over 80 games with each featuring an earnable Badge, which can be exchanged for exclusive items. While some fans had hoped for the return of the Egg Hunt event, The Hunt's concept sounded like an enjoyable alternative. However, following its launch, Roblox's The Hunt drew criticism from fans due to lackluster rewards and time-consuming progression. Fortunately, it seems that developer Roblox Corporation has more planned before The Hunt wraps later this month.
The Roblox Twitter account posted a message saying «See you in The Hunt hub on Friday at 10AM PST» with an eyes emoji, suggesting something significant is coming to the event on March 22. Included in the tweet was a 15-second teaser showing blue lines spreading and interlocking. The nature of The Hunt's approaching update remains vague but has naturally created tons of speculation, with fans not agreeing on any single idea. Some sarcastically mused that Roblox was simply teasing the release of another expensive bundle, while others wondered if The Hunt would receive a new wave of games. For now, fans have to wait until March 22 or another announcement to find out more.
Originally, Roblox fans had high hopes for the event's launch, with some theorizing the return of the previously mentioned Egg Hunt event. Last seen in 2020, Egg Hunt gave players the opportunity to unlock rare items. Since The Hunt's rewards turned out to be a bit disappointing, some fans hope that the March 22 update will allow players to unlock rare items in one way or another. However, this is only speculation at this point.
Recently, Roblox also introduced a limited-time Chucky mode. In it, one player takes control of Chucky and must eliminate the others. The crossover event is titled Griefville and was developed by RocketRide Games and Universal Products & Experiences. Like many other Roblox creations, the mode is quite detailed and can provide users with hours of entertainment.
Despite recent criticism, Roblox is clearly doing something right to maintain its gigantic player base. Roblox hit 150 million monthly users back in 2020, a number that has only continued to grow according to recent estimates.
Roblox is a massive online game creation tool that allows players to craft their own games and worlds for other Roblox players to jump into and enjoy.

Roblox Boss Insists Pay-to-Earn Not Child Labour Exploitation, Says It's a 'Gift' | Push Square
Roblox is genuinely breaking brave new ground, enticing users to «make anything you can imagine» using the in-game development tools provided and finding massive success in the process. It seems Sony really was onto something with Dreams, but it stumbled in the execution. The Roblox platform currently boasts an astonishing 66 million users globally, and part of the appeal is the tantalising prospect of those users creating a game, monetizing it, and publishing it for other players to enjoy, all of it in-app. But with more than 3 million «Roblox developers» already, many of them seemingly younger, accusations of child exploitation have been brewing for some time.

Roblox Studio head: 'you can say, okay, we are exploiting child labour'...
Roblox allows its players to create and monetise their own creations within its ecosystem. Across the entire breadth of Roblox game makers, a lot of money is made. At the individual level, however, the vast majority of creators making work within Roblox never earn enough to cash out their earnings - and some of those creators are children. This has long led to allegations that Roblox is exploiting child labour, generating huge profits for Roblox Studio and its shareholders in the process.
