Since its localized platform, which is a joint effort with Tencent, abruptly halted operation nearly two years ago, the company has been quiet about its standing in the world’s second-biggest gaming market until now. > TechCrunch learned that Roblox China, also called LuoBu (罗布乐思), initiated a round of layoffs in October. A spokesperson for Roblox confirmed to TechCrunch that 15 roles, which comprised a “small number” of Roblox China’s teams in the U.S. and its headquarters in Shenzhen, were affected.
