Two factors are at play.

This looks like it just reimplements a few Roblox APIs in an open source engine. It would of probably made more sense to just create a Roblox to Godot translator or something.

Second, your poking a multi billion dollar bear. If this project ever takes off Roblox will take action, right or wrong that's enough to stop most small projects. You can be right, but you don't have millions to fight non stop lawsuits.

In reality this is a cute proof of concept. It's never going to compete with the actual product. If it does Roblox will have it stopped in 72 hours

Its meant to be running live so you can play the many dynamic roblox games, I guess you could but it would be a mess.

The open source part is key. Plenty of online Pokemon and World of Warcraft clones out there, they can't seem to catch them all.

No need to. But anything too succesful should be ready to be brought down any moment.

  pokemon showdown is insanely and I mean insanely successful but it seems to have been almost blessed by the pokemon company.
  I genuinely don't know how its legal, when I shared the link to pokemon showdown to one of my friends, his first thoughts was, wait how is this legal? This is such a good thing, I wonder why this is free. Only for me to tell it its open source and bro was flabbergasted to say the least.

In practice, no society has ever overcome “might makes right.” Or, arguably, ever will.

The good news though; it’s lawyers shutting down your project. Yesterday, it was hiring someone to break your knees.
