Criticism

The 6th Annual Bloxys was criticized for extremely overpriced seats. A lot of seats tripled in price compared to the 5th Annual Bloxys. Many people viewed it as very unfair and some even went as far to call it a scam, including Roblox YouTuber Cloutic (formerly ProjectSupreme) in this video. Another Roblox YouTuber, KonekoKitten, made a video criticizing the seat prices.^[2] The high prices caused many seats to not sell, but after the discounts, almost every seat sold. Many users predicted the seats would not sell out. After complaints from the community, the developers of the game eventually decreased seat prices by 35% then to 40%.

Many have criticized Roblox for including InquisitorMaster and ZaiLetsPlay in the Best Video Channel category, due to them being unfavourable in the community with their content. It is also known that Poke has clickbait on his channel.

Many have criticized the high amount of Simulator games nominated, as all but one of the games nominated for Best Breakout Game were in that genre.

Roblox YouTubers have made many complaints about people nominated for awards as such Poke nominated as a live streamer. It was argued if he should be on the list due to last live streaming in 2017. Poke later replied stating this was true.^{[citation needed]}

Many have criticized the minigames for being too easy with the exception of Revenge of the Bacon.

Some users who purchased seats and Custom Message Signs reported not having their sign appear on stream. Some users also claimed that Glow Sticks they purchased did not appear.

InquisitorMaster was also criticized for winning a Bloxy award on Best Video Channel as her videos are commonly said to promote online dating.
