Another big UGC acquisition! @Geerzy just sold The Pit to @GaijinEnt in a “multi-million-dollar deal." I expect to see a lot more of these! I was approached by multiple cos at GDC this year, wanting to spend hundreds of millions on Roblox games and studio acquisitions!

The fastest way to remove a stolen game on Roblox is with a DMCA notice. You don’t need a lawyer to do that. I made a free form you can use that complies with Roblox’s terms of service. youtube.com/shorts/Y26wR...

This is the number 1 legal question I get from Roblox devs: “I helped code a game for a studio. Then they ghosted me. No contract. No payment. What are my rights?” #Roblox #Robloxdevs

It's official: Roblox isn't responsible for your gaming addiction! In a recent class action filed in Illinois, Roblox was accused of intentionally designing games to be addictive, leading to what the plaintiff described as "internet gaming disorder." [🧵]

Roblox devs! Stop saying that you own "equity" in a Roblox game. Legally, that's not a thing. Start talking about "money," "control," and "IP rights." #roblox #Robloxdev

We didn't get the result we wanted at trial, but there is honor in battle, and we fought the good fight! We parachuted into this case, and I'm so proud of my team for fighting w/ courage & grit while under fire, w/o losing their sense of (gallows) humor. Appeals time, baby!!

We start a patent trial on Monday as parachute trial counsel. Do judges set trials right after holidays to encourage settlement and punish lawyers? Normally, the day after Thanksgiving is for getting a Christmas tree... but this year I'm doing some last minute trial prep in the office.
