Popular Stranger Things game Roblox Starcourt Mall to shut down soon, fans react

Roblox Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall recently updated that the game will officially shut down on March 27, 2023 at 5:00 pm PT. Since it was developed on October 20, 2020, the Roblox title has received over 42.7 million visits from players, making it rather popular within the community.

In an ambitious collaboration with Netflix, the Roblox platform was used to develop Roblox Starcourt Mall, a virtual world that was inspired by Starcourt Mall from the hit television series Stranger Things.

Although there has been no official announcement about the reason behind this decision, it seems as if this was a temporary game to celebrate the series and that Netflix is unwilling to give away permanent rights to keep the game on the platform.

Fans had mixed reactions to the news of Roblox Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall shutting down

Roblox has successfully attracted numerous brands since it's a flexible platform and game creation system which has rapidly grown in popularity, with a huge active user base, especially amongst young adults and children. Through Roblox, brands can communicate with players in a way that's far more engaging and interactive than conventional advertising techniques by developing branded experiences within the platform.

While Netflix potentially did want to increase overall usage and engagement within Roblox, their primary goal is to promote various shows and other content that's available on their platform. This means that they focus on creating and promoting high-quality original content, as well as recommending personalized content to users based on their viewing history and preferences.

As a result, players can likely expect newer experiences based on the latest shows on the popular streaming platform. As exciting as this sounds, the community had a mixed reaction to this particular game shutting down, with many fans saddened to see one of their favorite titles being shut down:

A handful of users revealed that they didn't care too much about this announcement. It wasn't that they hated the game, but that such situations happen frequently online and moving on to the next game is key.

Others stated that the game had too many bugs and that they weren't really into it:
