Recently, Roblox has begun the crackdown of "free robux" groups, which are essentially groups that give "free" robux. Two such groups, I know that have been locked are #TEH DUCKSQUAD and Team Sloth Forever. Additionally, the owners of these groups: LandonRB_YT and Pokediger1, had their accounts terminated too. This crackdown comes as a result of Roblox YouTubers violating section 12; bullet point number 2, of Roblox Community Rules under Roblox's Terms of Service, which states that "As discussed in Roblox Terms of Use, you cannot (and you cannot allow others) sell, trade or give away Robux, digital goods or game codes except through official channels on Roblox platform. For example, you cannot conduct such transactions through chat, Roblox groups, or third-party apps or websites." Consequently, many fans of these Roblox Youtubers are calling out Roblox for being "greedy" and "mean". So the question is, are they really greedy or are they just trying to survive as a "profitable" corporation?

Now, I am sure many of you, who are reading this, are on the free robux side and yes, I understand about this. You all want free robux so you don't have to look like a "noob". However, I want to point out that people who are not on the free robux side can use an argument, which states that the only purpose of a business is to profit and Roblox Corporation is a business thus, it has that responsibility to profit from the game. In my honest opinion, this is a very close-minded view of what the purpose of a business is, as an example, Elon Musk's company SpaceX seeks not to profit but bring humans to Mars. As with Alphabet Inc. (Google's parent company), Sergey Brin and Larry Page have made it clear that their company's purpose is to not only profit but experiment with new ideas and such as such.

This argument about free robux goes much deeper than what it seems, it really is an argument about what the purpose of business is which is one of the big debates between liberals and conservatives (you can look that up). I know this was a long read but this was important to mention as many Roblox users don't know how deep this topic goes into. Now, that's out of the way, I will give my opinion on this topic, I support the idea that the purpose of a business is up to the executives. Now for those who are reading this, an opinion is highly appreciated but if you don't want to leave one then I thank you if you have made it this far. I know it is a very long post but it is an important one.
