Interestingly... the stock is up 3% over the course of this outage so far.
- jasoncartwright 5y agoSounds like when Fastly went down - the stock went up. Everyone suddenly realised how much of the internet they powered?
- gruez 5y agoroblox powers much of the internet? I find that unlikely. If you don't have kids, this is probably the first you heard of it. I guess there's the "my kid is complaining to me that it's down and now I know about it" angle, but it's hard to draw any conclusions from your kid's purchasing habits alone.
- pope_meat 5y agoroblox has the most under 18 users of anyone out there.
- gruez 5y agoRight, but do you really need an outage for everyone to find that out? It's hard to notice that fastly powers a given site, but it's trivial to notice the game your kid's playing.
- kyawzazaw 5y agoyes, my parents wouldn't understand playstation or xbox
- numbsafari 5y agoMy parents didn’t notice any of the games we were playing.

- scollet 5y agoRoblox has been around for a long time.
- numbsafari 5y agoor because of ...free chipotle burritos? https://www.ign.com/articles/roblox-servers-down-chipotle-free-burritos https://www.ign.com/articles/roblox-servers-down-chipotle-fr...
- cma 5y agoProbably because of Facebook turning themselves into a Roblox, validating them.
- scottwi 5y agoMetaverse overload
- sudosysgen 5y agoI'm guessing because many investors found out about Roblox from their kids when it went down.
- carlosdp 5y agoYea, this is definitely it, wow
- indigodaddy 5y agoThat does actually make a lot of sense.
- raspasov 5y agoHilarious and possibly true.
- Zeebrommer 5y agoI wouldn't have thought "any publicity is good publicity" would hold even in this case.
- Bombthecat 5y agoI could imagine something like this: Dad! Roblox is down!! Dad: whats roblox? Looks at credit card over the years: fuuuuuu! Goes to buy shares :)
- baby 5y agoHow is that interesting? Markets are irrational.
- aliswe 5y agosometimes things are interesting because they are counterintuitive, however irrational
