Stop this Addiction!
The issue
Petition to delete the game "Deepwoken" off Roblox!
Lack of Sociability, Connection, and Prioritisation
Deepwoken has significantly raised the addiction level of many young roblox players, instead of spending the last few moments of being a teenager, children like my friend Oliver have been rotting themselves in this game. For example, my friend Oliver wouldn't even talk to us as much compared to the past, he's slowly been drifting himself away from everyone, and even when he joins calls, we all feel like we're talking to a brick wall. Whenever we try to engage into our regular conversations, Oliver would always seem to ignore us and it pains us to see that this rot of a game is slowly drifting him away from us.
Player Frustration and Accessibility
Deepwoken has gained a reputation for its punishing gameplay mechanics, which can alienate casual players. With its steep learning curve, permadeath system, and complex progression mechanics, many players find it overwhelming and inaccessible. For a platform like Roblox, which caters to a wide range of audiences, including younger players, a game that demands intense commitment and punishes mistakes harshly might not align with the platform's ethos. This can lead to frustration, disappointment, and even discouragement from engaging with Roblox as a whole.
Community Concerns and Toxicity
The competitive nature of Deepwoken fosters an environment where toxicity can thrive. Reports of in-game harassment, gatekeeping, and exploitative behavior by more experienced players have surfaced within the community. Such an environment is harmful, especially for younger audiences who play Roblox. Removing Deepwoken could help mitigate these issues and set a standard for creating inclusive and supportive multiplayer experiences on the platform. Roblox should prioritize games that encourage cooperation and creativity rather than toxic competition.
Platform Reputation and Game Ethics
The design of Deepwoken may not align with Roblox's broader goal of fostering fun, safe, and engaging experiences. The focus on monetization through paid access and cosmetic purchases, combined with its difficulty and unforgiving nature, raises questions about whether the game aligns with Roblox's mission. By removing Deepwoken, Roblox could focus on promoting games that are more in tune with its platform-wide values, ensuring that players of all ages and skill levels feel welcomed and included.
