So as a roblox OG, it's sad that Erik passed in 2013, i got to meet him in 2011 on roblox and he was the most kindest person ever, David will never be able to replace Erik, David is letting Roblox become a toxic unsafe wasteland, if Erik was still alive he would be disappointed in David and what he let roblox become, R.I.P Erik, you will be missed brother
Everyone who met Erik online has always said how kind he was! He seemed to be really connected to the community. I know Dave has said he believes Erik would be happy with how Roblox is today. I can't speak for him but they always appeared to be aligned with their vision of Roblox. It does seem that Dave is listening more to the community, he has been very active on Twitter and asking for feedback after the Hunt. I am hopeful for good changes with Roblox in the future!
@@Gamersaurus I understand where you are coming from but since games now days have turned to greed rather than actual soul I doubt David even cares about the safety and enjoyment the users, if he really cared he would actually have a better report system, better security and better servers that isn't easily crashable, Tbh I was first disappointed in David when he removed Tix and then guests, Tix you could earn by doing tasks and stuff but now you can't redeem anything, you have to buy robux so to me I just think David see Roblox as a cash grab
@@DevilBlade666hello stranger. 6 months later here. things are slowly starting to change. but i’m afraid a lot of kids already got hurt due to a lack of action. i can’t imagine how many childhoods have been ruined after david took charge. there are so many condo games, there was a condo server you could find by searching it on discord’s official search engine and there was a server dedicated to condo games with one hundred thousand people. the fact that they decided to sue ruben sim too is just… david isn’t listening. david is doing things because he has to. because people now know. i hate cancer so much. erik was taken. away, technoblade too… both of these people put smiles on people’s faces. at least they’ll rest easy in an afterlife. at least i hope there is one.
rip Erik, althought I dont remember my conversation with him I will always appreciate him bringing my old account back from termination. He was very kind
I'm not any developer or anything, but Erik's story is really inspiring. It's unfortunate that he had succumb to cancer. Now I want to learn how to make a game in memory of him and try to show his efforts to others so they can know how much of a contribution he made for the game that has impacted many of our childhoods.
The documentary was amazing I never would of thought David would be so open about his Friend death. Please keep up with more of these this was very entertaining and informative to watch anyways thank you for this I’ve been waiting for a while!
i saw erik in paintball once for a few minutes, unfortunately he didnt say anything and i didnt see his actual player i just saw him on the playerlist but i still remember that as one of if not my earliest placed roblox memories pretty cool stuff
Erik cassel spent his last 3 years working on a lego game. Wow how dedicated he was on roblox but now its going down hill but at lease he is now in peace in the heavens above and not seeing the mistakes of the person that was with him farewell erik cassel and also i guess is now a decade of his death
@@5df2 Not the place to talk about it. It's like if you poured your whole life into something. And when you passed away people started saying "Yeah too bad this guy's whole life achievement sucks now." Have a little respect man.
@@P9qxthat's true since I joined back then 2011 It's before Xmas that I have 150 dollar of worth of robux my account That got hacked but Erik Helped me to get it back crazy since if David now he ain't giving no Sh*t
It was such a beautiful speech of yours, a speech of a story teller that tells stories with no seriousness, no venting, just a calm story of Erik Cassel that was known as, builderman, but David Baszucki may have the account in his own hands now.
Thanks for the support! I spent months researching for this video and it’s great to see all the positive feedback. I’m working on more long form / documentary Roblox videos!
Thanks for the support! I put in many hours of the course of a few months to do as much research as I could for this video. I wanted to make sure I did Erik justice by telling his story as best I could.
Thanks for the support! I’m working on a massive iceberg series right now! It’ll have 700+ entries and be broken up into many videos so I can cover a lot of Roblox topics 😎
Man, seeing how Roblox was a good platform but now its going downfall by the ppls who does inappropriate stuff into this just a heart breaking to see Roblox now becoming not the same has it should😔
Glad you enjoyed this, I poured months of work into researching and editing this documentary. So I appreciate the support! I miss Monster Hunting Simulator, it was my favorite game of 2020. I still play it occasionally.
holy shit they removed his fucking blog memorial i just realized this EDIT: for some reason they moved his memorial to a archive though it is i think hidden on the roblox website
Hey! If your wondering about Erik’s cassel parents (From what I know) Is Erik Wilson Cassel, And a mother which probably still alive! E. Wilson cassel and Erik Cassel May rest! Also good document! Glad you made this now! :-)
I didn’t know any of that. Thanks you again for uploading that video of Erika at the 2012 RGC. That was a very special and unique video, that no one else had posted online.
Hi bro, it's me again, after months. I wanted to tell you that the video I made about Erik is about to come out. I gave you credits at the beginning and end of the video. The only thing I copied was the way to present the credits in a Google document. Does this bother you?
Hello friend, I really liked your documentary. I wanted to tell you that I also had the idea of telling Erik's story in a video, however my channel is in Spanish What I want to get at is that your video would be of great help to me, being the main base of information for my video, but I don't want things to be misunderstood and considered that I copied the video. So I ask your permission to use some of the information as well as some images from this video in mine, I will give you credits within the video and I could leave your channel in the description of the video.
Hey thanks for reaching out! That sounds okay to me, you’re welcome to use some footage and give credit. I think that is a great idea to spread Erika story to other people! I’ll have to watch yours once you’re done 😃
Roblox isn't the one Powering Imagination.
It was Erik. May his creative mind and sould rest in peace.
True, I miss Erik
and they removed his blog memorial..... Edit: they moved the memorial to a archive dont know why they didnt just keep the old blogs

oh he died 5 months and 10 days from my birthday

I’m happy I was able to find at least one photo of them together. I’m hoping to find more one day

Roblox didn't release in September, it was in November 2006, also the first footage is "Chaos Canyon Firefight"
David Baszucki < Erik Cassel
I found you!
he deserves to rest in peace. so he doesn't see what his creation unfortunately turned into
i feel like erik wouldnt have been proud of what this project he spent so much time into has become
At least he had a legacy that will be remembered...
Very true
Rest In piece Erik Cassel
🙌
Rip😢
I was like 3 or 4 when he died
14 or 15
Rip Erik cassel
0:06 2006 it matches and 0:06? and a 2 to that
What?
The numbers match
Hi gamer
Erik was the real founder, David Baszucki doesnt even care for roblox anymore.
i used to live nearby that store, it used to be dreagers!
That’s so cool! It’s still a Dreagers market, I go there sometimes. I live really close to Menlo & have family there.
Im still impressed how david bazucki didnt die.
2006 was old as roblox
R.I.PEACE…
He was only 45
"He would thing that it would be terrible and that the moderation was garbage". probably what he would say
We don't make games
We power imagination.
Ima get Kreek to react to this lol this is amazing
You would be my hero 😂 I posted it in his subreddit but he hasn’t seen it yet
@@Gamersaurus Here goes all my money
@@vtxtaw14 ☠️☠️☠️ are you going to donate to him on stream?
@@Gamersaurus its the only way to get his attention hopefully it only takes 10 dollars instead of 50 or 100

Bet he won’t like and and comment on this comment lol 😂 love the vids

"i think he would be proud!" i think not but thats my opinion
Roblox isn't perfect, but erik was a visionary, most of the technology you see on Roblox now Erik would have wished Roblox had these back then.
yes sir i wanted this so bad
Hope you enjoyed it!
Rest in peace Erik Cassel.
