Well, there it is, the update for Roblox has arrived that now forcefully blocks it from working with Wine on Linux systems (like Steam Deck).

      Lots of companies will block their product on Linux so they don’t have to worry about bugs/glitches impacting their playerbase

          Actually, fun story, someone was cheating under wine and posted it on the Roblox forums which is what caused all this to happen.
