The Podcast - Ep 30 - Badly explaining Roblox to beginners, wishing we had their kajillions of cash
Description
Chris is on this week, joined by Will and a returning Kieran, as they really try hard to understand and explain the reason Roblox is worth more money than some small island nations, plus are Rust servers catching fire due to popularity or just bad luck, and EA is embroiled in a scandal (shock horror!). Scott is also back with more Tabletop RPG news even after a super busy week, and Gareth finds his latest trailers using the oldest marketing trick in the book.
