Game over for Roblox on Linux / Steam Deck as it's now blocked (gamingonlinux.com)

Game over for Roblox in my household.

Had enough with futzing around to get Windows working on the occasions they want to play it. Not to mention the 'Download and install Roblox' doom loop when you try and start a game (oh, you have to reboot a few times to make it work?).


Not that I agree with the move, but from a business perspective, perhaps it has to do with the expense of keeping up with issues and complaints that arise from allowing wine to run it.

Looking at the latest usage share of linux desktop users[1], this is still under 2% of the market
