Don't ask me what it is, because this is the only thing that I know.
No, it's unlikely to be the Egg Hunt (or any event of that sort in March-June), usually there will be games submission period months ago (unless they're only allowing submissions privately).

As a person who has been heavily researching the claims of PMG, I'd take this article with a heavy handful of salt.
This article along with PMG video
#2
relies on the basis on pseudonymised anecdotes from various people which cannot be easily verified.

@ItsAmmon
this isn't even a case of bad grammar
this is just an example of a limited set of vocabulary which somehow does not contain the lexis "to"

@itsMatrixRB
given the dude has at least 1 instance of him stealing a render that someone made for a thumbnail without proper credit, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another side to the story
It's the 1 year anniversary of this video being released today. Think we should reflect on how little is being done for Roblox developers and how much this was a reputation-boosting activity for Quintin.
You're telling me that David initially made Roblox as a physics simulation and not as a child labour exploitation machine? Nooooooo! The Beeb must always be right!

...also need to be paid for their work, much like the first anecdote you brought up in the article.
tl;dr this article and PMG are dumb, do your own research and critical thinking rather than offloading it to journalists who can't verify their own claims
In Roblox promotional images, some people are depicted as using wheelchairs. Sometimes they don't use wheelchairs. There appears to be no other form of lesser-abled representation in these images.

the funny thing is that you could argue that youtube is worse in this regard, forcing ads on videos from non-YPP creators (and Linus explicitly complained about people using adblock)
roblox doesn't really force you to put gamepasses and developer products into your game
Innovative vision, values-aligned culture, empowered creators, aged-up experiences. Our founder and CEO David Baszucki spoke on The Verge's Decoder Podcast about all of this and more.

- your inventory has no storage management options
- the difference between a plugin and a module
- the general non-existence of older builds of studio
- the roblox financial system

...hit game as well as the fact that only 2 of those hats were lost in a way that cannot be distinguished as a "hacking" by the end user.
This combined with the factual errors in both videos raises several questions regarding the journalistic integrity of The Guardian and PMG.
@SimonParkin
@ObserverUK
Moreover, these videos and articles suggest a dangerous level of control for publishers in the video which at times are hypocritical.
I'm still yet to see any action on Activision/Blizzard. Also you do realise that the offending did not occur on the game itself? Other people...
@pa_ze2
i'd skew more towards racism tbh since no other UGC creator gets this much backlash... probably because he's asian
as you said, it's probably as a result of differing cultures since these things generally aren't talked openly about there
@SimonParkin
@ObserverUK
When we do have the time to deanonymize the identities of the individuals involved, a different story emerges.
Such as the story of Jack from PMG video
#2
where Jack is portrayed as losing his hats and losing his one hit wonder.
What PMG failed to cover was his other success...

The BBC is engaging in dishonest practices with the broadcast of a recent radio program, using disinformation figures such as Quintin Smith from People Make Games to drum up support for a bill which would change the internet for the worse.
