While Roblox itself is still popular in spite of some unpopular changes, other events and creators have not been so lucky.
- The Ready Player One event of March-April 2018 is considered the most controversial event in all of Roblox history. Missions done to grab the keys were insanely difficult, not helped by the fact that many clues were rather cryptic (though they were toned down to be easier). Worst of all, r0cu, the sole winner of the Dominus Venari, was bullied and harassed with death threats by envious players.
- Club Tesla, one of those nightclub games, suffered this when an underage ex-girlfriend of creator DjMykal accused him of distributing nude photos of her. He and the game are still on Roblox, though Club Tesla currently suffers low player counts because of this.
- MisterObvious was a well-respected Roblox animator and one of the most well-known figures in the early days of Roblox animations. Any nostalgia for his videos and respect for him went away after allegations surfaced that he had been using his fame to sexually prey on minors, and his reputation went further downhill after he responded threatening legal action against those who helped bring the allegations to light.
- Magnet Simulator, a game about collecting coins with magnets, was close to becoming one of the big-name simulator games in 2018 until it was discovered that the map and other assets were blatantly stolen from another popular simulator named Bubble Gum Simulator. The game was bombarded with dislikes and the game's creator was criticized on Twitter until it ended with Roblox themselves deleting the game. Afterwards, the developer apologized and revealed a newer, different map, but the backlash may have tarnished the game's reputation forever.
- The remake of Defend The Statue by xKenis is less known for its additions and more known for the drama created by the Anti-Hog mechanic which alienated many players. If it wasn't for that, then it was also well known for xKenis' Creator Breakdown and subsequent abandonment of whatever projects he had due to it.
- Kazdam was a generally accomplished Robloxian as well as the former self-proclaimed "Myth King", a title which he used as the leader and founder of the RM Foundation, until his reputation went downhill after it was revealed that he made several myths himself and made them popular through his group, such as SubjectPyro, MartinCult, and Ulifer. The controversy got even worse when several people accused him of grooming 3 underage girls, abusing his girlfriend, manipulating and lying to his audience and friends, being homophobic and transphobic, and defending pedophilia, which were then confirmed by him. The fact that the controversy was so large that RM fell apart with admins abusing their powers, massive random demotions and promotions (done by a bot), the Discord being nuked, and RM's games being raided and him creating a document trying to save his reputation only for it to get deleted by him under heavy fire thanks to the aforementioned document containing out of context screenshots, lying and manipulation didn't help at all.
- Pet Simulator X is one of BIG Games' most popular experiences on Roblox. However, it's most well-known for the fact that the game's creator, prest4n, had sold non-fungible tokens on a platform and said racial slurs towards anyone against NFTs. Perhaps due to this, it has become one of Roblox's most controversial experiences, and turned BIG Games into one of the most hated developers.
- ThejetermanRBLX, also known as DoctorRofatnik, Punished Mephiles, Jadon Shedletsky and Arnold Castillo, used to be the owner of a popular Roblox Sonic fangame titled Sonic Eclipse Online. However, his reputation came crashing down when it was alleged that he was grooming a 12-year-old girl in 2020, not being helped by him taunting others for giving his game publicity for exposing his actions and admitting that he was only still developing it for the money. This not only resulted in his account being deleted alongside his failed attempts at ban evading, but the entire fangame was taken down by SEGA when a YouTube channel called People Make Games made a follow-up on their expose on Roblox. Eventually, he got arrested in May 2022. These days, it's hard to talk about him, or even the entire fangame without bringing up these.
- Doublebox used to be a well-known item trader and rising YouTuber, but nowadays has become infamous for exit scamming one of his fans out of his items' worth of 4,466,260 Robux note , which resulted in his account's deletion, not being helped by admitting that he scammed his fan because he "isn't a trader" and only did it to pay for college, but later went back on his word by buying a PS5 with the money he stole. The massive hate gained from this incident alone resulted in him quitting Roblox and exiting social media on July 23, 2021.
- Myusernamesthis used to be a popular Jailbreak YouTuber. However, his reputation came crashing down when Bslick exposed Myusernamesthis for not paying him for animating Myusernamesthis' music video Together Forever, which resulted in him leaving Roblox and his music video being DMCA'd, and is nowadays known not just for being extremely toxic, but also for the whole incident that resulted in the DMCA claims.
- Gamefam used to be a well-respected company on Roblox notable for introducing various Licensed Games over there, most notably Sonic Speed Simulator. However, during their attempts to integrate Sonic Prime into not just Sonic Speed Simulator, but all of their other games, including Funky Friday, it all went horribly wrong: During that time, the creator of Friday Night Funkin' not only consulted his lawyer due to Gamefam introducing microtransactions to a FNF fangame, but they were also exposed for crunching their employees and threatening to lay them off if they discussed pay, which was not helped by them trying to monopolize the Roblox game marketplace and an apology that didn't address any of the issues, which led to the National Labor Relations Board to force them to actually pay their employees the proper amount and stop the crunching. While they still are active, it's impossible to talk about them without mentioning the whole incident.
- Explode1 was once one of the premier developers on Roblox, making the hit platformer-adventure games "Adventure Forward" and "Paper Roblox". He was going to develop a new entry for the latter that was more in line with its inspiration... until he was outed for, in no particular order: being abusive to his development team, stalking, lying about getting help, making sexualized art of animals, and pedophilia. His account was deactivated some time after it was all revealed, and his games were now forever stained by his actions.
- Ruben Sim's entire career may be one of the most controversial on the platform. He used to be unanimously well-respected on Roblox due to his entertaining videos on the subject and eventually evolving to exposing various problems on the platform such as poor moderation. However, he became much more divisive when he suddenly went on a vitriolic rant against the Furry Fandom on Twitter before going on to spread it on his YouTube channel. While furries are a divisive topic in Roblox, his rant against them resulted in him being virtually condemned by almost everyone for his actions, not being helped when he was also exposed for making underage porn between two users; while he was a minor at the time, his rather poor response seemingly made this moot. Because of this, it is impossible to talk about him without mentioning the furry incident. What makes him so divisive is the fact that many agree that his acts are generally a net positive to the platform thanks to him exposing countless unscrupulous individuals and poor management on Roblox's behalf, as well as the unfair lawsuit he faced from them, making it hard to fully condemn him compared to those above.
- Raum was formerly an famous Deepwoken content creator focused on various content in the game, most notably PvE. However, his reputation came crashing down when during an incident where he attempted to expose the moderator team for corruption which resulted in a massive purge of moderators, it was revealed that at one point, he was exposed for grooming minors and even erotic roleplaying with them. This resulted in him being doxxed, losing his job and being disowned by his family in the process. A few months later, when Nanoprodigy underwent a controversy as well, Raum suddenly went out of hiding and claimed that there was a Double Standard in regards to how he was being defended and not him, which was massively negatively received even by those who dislike and those who like the moderation, eventually leading to him to delete his channel, though he claims that it was an accident. Nowadays, Raum is mostly remembered as not just by some as a pedophile, but also what led to the complete breakdown of relationships between the playerbase and moderation teams that still persist to this very day.
- Castlers, and subsequently ROLVe as a whole used to be incredibly popular in the Roblox community through their surprisingly well-made clones of Valve Corporation games such as Counter-Blox, eventually reaching massive popularity with the release of their game Arsenal, being host to many popular Roblox YouTubers such as GDILIVES, and Castlers being regarded at one point for owning a group called Team Cringe that consisted of the best Arsenal players, with being the best Arsenal player even if he was a developer for the game. However, their reputation came crashing down hard when multiple videos from former staff and other members of the community came out exposing Castlers as a closet cheater through an aimbot that he specifically designed himself, the rest of Team Cringe plagiarizing and framing a former intern, rigging various tournaments to his favor, using alts to black market various items and later banning and scamming his fellow black marketeers when he was almost caught alongside attempting to destroy evidence. Making matters worse is while ROLVe has yet to give out a statement, various developers did support Castlers, which has only worsened the view on them, especially in regards to their mod team which was known to be incredibly inefficient, banning innocent players while letting cheaters off scot-free. Nowdays, while their games are still having players, they are not as popular as they used to be due to all the drama, and consensus is that ROLVe is mostly comprised of devs willing to abuse their power.
