Hello all, last night I had a funny idea for a game, but I am not sure whether it would be allowed under Roblox Community Standards or ToS.
My main question is, would a game involving a stock market and market manipulation be allowed on Roblox, as long as it is done with a simulated, non-player economy that does not use Robux?
Inspired by a certain infamous late 90s energy company, basically you would use any means necessary to slowly become an international monopoly, including predictive computing, accounting fraud, and political bribes. I doubt there is much educational value, it will be mostly a puzzle/tycoon for entertainment.
Since other depictions of crime like robbery and murder are allowed on Roblox (I’ve even seen games called something along the lines of tax fraud simulator), I would assume white-collar crimes are fine to portray (with a disclaimer).
I am mostly worried if the stock market aspect is considered gambling or if the fraud combined with the stock market would step over the line.
As I mentioned before, you will not be competing in the stock market against other players (it’s singleplayer or co-op) and there will be no monetization. I will put a disclaimer along the lines of “This game does not encourage trading or committing fraudulent activities. Depictions of such are for entertainment purposes only.”
This is also basically my first post on the devforum, apologies if I did something wrong.
