Roblox already has dumb AI options with specific mini-games, and increased bot support could help create new innovative games. The games platform had over 43 million daily active users as of Q2 2021.

A research firm shorts Roblox because the game company is allegedly misleading investors, lying about user numbers, and facilitating illicit behavior with minors. Roblox denies the accusations.

According to the report, which was based in part on interviews with former Roblox employees, the company may be inflating its numbers by allowing bots to populate the platform.

The research firm, which has taken a short position in Roblox's stock, released a report arguing the company does not do enough to keep children safe.

The firm claims that Roblox has been counting bots as users and treating multiple accounts made by the same individuals as unique users.
