Roblox is a destable scummy company that depends on the exploitation of children to make money.
They took the exploitative practices of microtransaction based games, targeted them at children, then decided to use child labor to create content inside an expoitatively taxed monetization system, then decided to abdicate all their responsibility for responsible community management to protect these children by shutting down their own forums and pushing everything to Discord. Now we have children working for unvetted strangers with no labor protection and no oversight.
Agreed. And it goes beyond jaded monetization. A popular player and predator was only recently arrested after initiating physical contact with one of the child laborers. The game is simply not a safe environment for children.
Pedophilia & child-predation have been an open secret to anyone socially involved in ROBLOX for the longest time. The amount of random 18+ people interacting often and without guardrails with 13/14/15 year-olds is "normalized" to those in the communities.
