The Blackout was a movement and a failed attempt to overthrow the government of David Baszucki by framing him as responsible for crashing the economy of Robloxia, on March 1, 2026, as well as shut down the Corporatist Party. The movement was partially successful; while the government of David Baszucki remained, the Robloxian Corporate Index dropped 488 points (-1.78%) from February 27, 2026 to March 2, 2026. However, the macroeconomic effects of the blackout even continued until May 11, 2026, during which the index cratered a further 10,916 points( -40.47%) from its close on March 2, 2026. However, recently, the Robloxia Corporate Index bounced from the low on May 11, 2026, and as of July 2, 2026, has gained 6,104 points (+38.01%), erasing the losses generated when it cratered and starting a new bull market on June 18, 2026, when it closed above the 20% gain threshold needed to start a bull market.
