TheAmazemanRBLX Gotta invest.

stock time

Big stonks

bad. rbx will b only for money now (cuz of investors) ppl will quit when buying robux u get less robux than before. rbx may release new items or change prices so stuff is expensive, this means devs would have to lower their monitization prices for it to balance, 1/2

KreekCraft I know who zompiggy is if auntie pig is memory then uncle pig is zompiggy both are unusual and they are in the same family and auntie pig is remembering her husband becoming zompiggy chloe and Alexander have not come out yet so this can be correct kreek craft

ive been waiting ever since it came out!!! 😍😍😍

Inb4 Microsoft buys ROBLOX

m o n e y

something bad could happen if roblox decides to do this

this better be in robux or else im not buying it

Pretty unhappy about this, this might make developer profit easy to twist. I do hope the people who invest it don't remove things that support developers (example: premium payouts.)

RBXNews_ M?

Hah, now to drink my bloxy cola 😌

To be honest, this could mean some good things will happen. With experienced Roblox players investing, they can bring back Live Events, make the Egg Hunts better, and so much more. Looking forward to see what the community will do when they do go public.

Looks like some nice
