All creations of TheOfficialTeddy are now unplayable on Roblox.
Roblox completely bans TheOfficialTeddy, the most controversial creator on the platform today, following a series of allegations involving abuse and violations of its Community Standards.
In an official announcement by Roblox, the team behind the popular online game creation system mentioned that after a thorough internal investigation, they finally came up with the final decision to remove TheOfficialTeddy, including all of his games, from the platform.
Roblox stated that, as part of their standard efforts to prevent violative content, they initially asked TheOfficialTeddy to make specific changes to their games to comply with the Community Standards. However, they later identified a separate violation deemed unrectifiable, which ultimately led to the removal of TheOfficialTeddy’s games from the platform.
The ban seems to primarily affect TheOfficalTeddy alone, since Roblox also cited that their games will remain unplayable unless a new owner who’s willing to follow the Community Standards will take over:
"As a result, the user behind TheOfficialTeddy and the groups they own are no longer permitted on Roblox, and we are removing the ability to play their games until we know there is an owner who can run the games in compliance with our Community Standards."
Who is TheOfficialTeddy?
TheOfficialTeddy quickly rose to notoriety after his games, such as Hug People Simulator, Boys and Girls Hangout, and Vayhood RP, received backlash on social media for containing sexual themes.
Considering that many Roblox users are minors, TheOfficialTeddy quickly faced criticism from the community. TheOfficialTeddy's games also raise safety concerns due to private rooms that allow players to engage in one-on-one chats.
Roblox has banned TheOfficialTeddy multiple times in the past. But in a move that further sparked public outrage, Roblox lifted the ban on TheOfficialTeddy, and even allegedly gave them an invite to the Roblox Developers Conference and The Hatch event.
After knowing that TheOfficialTeddy will participate in The Hatch, several game developers pulled out of the event, including the creator of Doors, Pressure, Piggy, and Untitled Tag Game.
Despite Roblox confirming the removal of TheOfficialTeddy from The Hatch, the developers stood by their decision and chose not to return. After its kickoff on July 2, The Hatch is currently the lowest-rated Roblox event in history.
