I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can’t it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.

Sometimes it won’t run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having “permissive security”.

I don’t daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.

    At minimum, the Roblox company is taking advantage of children by:

    • Taking a large cut of the revenue and obfuscating that information
    • Devs are paid in Robux and the conversion to real currency involves an unfavorable exchange rate with a high minimum

      They’re taking advantage of everyone with their shitty “dev exchange rates” thing, but it’s known info at this point. Sadly yea, that’s bad behavior, but I fail to see how it’s specifically taking advantage of children.

        You don’t know how the known behavior that takes advantage of everyone, in a game popular with and marketed towards children, is taking advantage of children?

          Most devs must be above 13-15yo, before you’re not really supposed to have a bank account

          Also, it’s a bit light to say that they’re stricly saying taking advantage of people because only because of their fees.

          If I have to think of a game that really takes advantage of children, I would say Counter-Strike. Fuck Valve 👀

            I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say. I didn’t say the transfer fees were the only way they were taking advantage of people, I just wanted to use the thing you already admitted was predatory and use it to give an example of how roblox is taking advantage of children.

              Yea sure I understand, but I just think that saying “taking advantage of children” implies something way more evil in my head than just having something predatory for everyone. Like something being waaaaay more evil when done on children, an so I don’t really agree that we could say this example is enough to state that roblox takes advantage of children
