yo fellas i got something to bring up in a video real quick we're out here playing zoo tycoon in the background i know at least one of you played that game as a kid smash like if you played zoo tycoon as a kid i know some of you guys did for sure it's an og game people are mad at roblox yet again the reason why because of this is because of something that i already made a video about around less than two weeks ago or some for those that are unaware roblox recently purchased a application very similar to discord known as gilded it's a very stupid reason as to why people are upset at this most people that use the application itself aren't really that mad about it and think it could be for the better development of it but however information came out regarding the whole sale of this going to roblox basically the information regarding the purchase that happened between the company and roblox has been released the rtc twitter account our wonderful friends over there said want to know how much roblox spent to buy this they spent NUMBER_TOKEN million dollars in order to purchase the company stating on august NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN the company paid a definitive purchase agreement to acquire gilded inc for the purchase of approximately NUMBER_TOKEN million to be paid in cash and stock the acquisition closed on august NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN and a privately held company known as gilded as a platform for connecting gaming communities however with the fact that roblox spent so much money on this chat application um people are bringing up some points of why this wasn't used to better roblox itself for example some people saying should have been spent the NUMBER_TOKEN million in important things like moderation instead of releasing an update that probably zero percent of people are going to use um that's kind of a blanket statement to be honest a lot of people do use gilded but this is the point that a lot of people are making saying can they spend the NUMBER_TOKEN million to make better moderation people going to the extent of even making memes saying moderation and buying a random company so the average roblox player base is quite upset at the fact that roblox just randomly chucked NUMBER_TOKEN million at this company to purchase it as opposed to bettering the platform i think them purchasing gilded is bettering the platform you know it allows them to have their own application to connect roblox players easier so it is definitely made to the development of roblox just in a much different fashion for those that are unaware it's not really cheap to purchase companies gilded was not a cheap company by any means but it's just at the same point regurgitated over and over again they spent NUMBER_TOKEN million dollars on a discord copy that nobody uses instead of fixing in mods and upgrading servers and security people are very upset where roblox's budget is going towards going to purchasing a company and a discord clone as opposed to bettering the website i honestly could see the criticism i understand it i'm not really working internal on roblox so i don't know exactly what went through the decision here but again i don't think it was a bad idea for roblox to purchase gilded i really don't think that it was but just the majority of the player base seems to be upset at this idea
