The game makes billions per year. I'm happy some people were able to get their money back, but it's hardly a drop in the bucket, and the whole time that it has been held hostage by Epic they have been milking it for interest.
I get that they failed to verify a lot of payments being made from grandmas credit card, but apparently Roblox gets a free pass. I guess the lesson to be learned here is if you hire better lobbyists the government will turn a blind eye.
