Also to be clear whenever Epic or any other game company talks about the 'Metaverse', literally all they're talking about is wanting a slice of the 'free child labor' pie that Roblox has been up to their ass in for years.

Also yes Roblox literally encourages and facilitates child labor, and these kids end up making literal Roblox sweatshops. I am not kidding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ

Anyone who has done any actual work on the Roblox platform knows that posting any of these videos serves to do nothing except discredit your opinion. They are ridiculously unrepresentative of the Roblox community and developer economics system and get some of the most basic facts about the platform incorrect.

Calling Roblox helping children to learn programming 'child labour' is just fearmongering and I don't even know where the idea we "work in sweatshops" comes from. The creators of these videos took one misleading comparison, turned it into a statistic, and constructed a stream of misinformation based on it. I don't trust them to get very much correct about game development at all anymore
