It's a testament to the quality of characters involved with virtually every Roblox or Roblox-adjacent project that this thread can get so much mileage out of that Norm quote.So what can be conferred from all this? TL;DR, if you want to be an indie developer make sure you try hard not to end up like anyone on here. Or to put it in more laymen's terms.
It's also a testament to how effortlessly dogwater Roblox itself is as a development tool that Nelson wised up and quit it for greener pastures in 2013 over an issue that has never been fixed and potentially isn't possible to fix, even if those pastures didn't (or couldn't) stay green forever. He was talking about giving up Roblox over issues that serious during the platform's supposed golden age!
As of yet, things have been (publicly, at least) drama-free since then. Any further infighting I saw was self-contained to people prodding the retards who refused to read Gianni's response but still characterized him as a villain for defending the people he's worked for. Truly, there are people—well, developmentally-stunted women—who will eagerly die mad that they have to share their husbando with a woman who was willing to share him from the start.It is really funny to see that Pressure is up in flames yet again. Let's hope this month becomes even more eventful before the year ends.
The most notable change from my last post is that US:HD didn't quite adhere to Gianni's advice, as a selection of the official server's community staff created and shilled a bunker server simply titled "Pressure Community" with open chatrooms. The official server still remains permanently closed to its ~252k total squatters, but just over 25k people so far have migrated to the bunker to... Talk in circles about the same monster/plot/etc. points around-the-clock. It's boring as fuck. The first day or two were the most interesting just to see how many people were entirely out of the loop of what had just happened and were left very disoriented by the official server's closure, but it's been very dry beyond that. If, for whatever reason, you want to see this, the invite is just /pressurecommunity (requires external verification).
Also, to correct my last post slightly: The initial UrbanshadeRblx tweets proclaiming that the game was to be sold apparently weren't an account compromise, but instead Zeal himself having a break down that was severe enough behind the scenes that he had to be wrangled in by family. The last tweet caught by the archive of RTC's own correction post is from his mother saying as much, but I neglected to post it directly because it felt off for a largely-dormant Xitter account to come forward with such convenient timing to say that. That makes two of those for this month.
