My kids play it. 9 and 11. I've played it. I've spent money in it. It's the amount of content. The games are actually really good.

And it's super easy to make something and just send it to the world.

As a developer I used chatgpt and it just spits out whole games.

Edit: Some games are really good. Some games are crap.

Roblox is filled with "quality" content like this: https://www.roblox.com/games/8110845141/POOP-WITH-FRIENDS

My kids used to play on Roblox... then they invited me to try it... and I started watching what is going on in there. It's pretty bad. LOADS of grooming going on... shitty games... games that encourage anti-social behavior... horror games targeting under 5s... now they aren't allowed to play it anymore.

You just described the whole internet. You gonna ban them from that too? What about the crap talked about on the playground? You going to ban them from recess?

Flat out banning them is lazy and isn't doing them any justice in preparing them for how to handle these situations when you are not there to make the bad people go away.

You are the problem. Not roblox and some poop game.

Lol. You're not a parent are you?

It's not lazy, it's being involved as a parent. I teach them. I council them. I explain the good and the bad.

They don't have unfettered access to the internet either. I carefully limit to what is appropriate to their ages. As they get older and are more able to understand the implications I relax the restrictions.

My kids will survive just fine not playing in an environment that encourages bed behavior.
