A YouTube creator, Ruben Sim, was sued by Roblox for $1.6 million over claims that he engaged in harassment and other forms of misconduct. Ruben had been exposing bad actors in the Roblox community, including open pedophiles and a former Roblox employee who ran a porn blog. Despite Roblox's lawsuit, Ruben was planning to release a three-part series defending himself, but only one part was released before Roblox settled the case. Ruben emerged victorious, with Roblox not receiving any money, and he gets to keep his social media accounts, although he is no longer allowed to access Roblox. However, Ruben did have to pay $150,000 in attorney fees. The lawsuit brought attention to various issues with Roblox, including child abuse and exploitation, and damaged the company's public image.
