People need to look at the age verification and child safety laws being implemented or proposed in countries all across the world and across a majority of platforms to see that this isn’t a ROBLOX-specific issue, this is a governmental issue.

I don’t buy how they didn’t think of better solution, 1984d chat is the most idiotic approach – it’s an easy way out even if realistically people from other regions shouldn’t be required to do ID checks, it’s a thing in UK, partly US and mostly EU.

Yeah I can partially agree with what they are saying. Though it’s not really visible since most old (let’s say from the year 2k to the late twenty-tens) internet MMOs apart from roblox have died out but all those classic hangout mmos would of been faced with the exact same scrutiny and challenges by governments and media. That said whilst I am lamenting the death of free open forums online roblox is still taking opportunity out of it to implement profit oriented changes (though that may be the fault of shareholders more than anything).

By cordoning off entire sects of the base from talking to each other based on arbitrary age ranges? What the fuck is the point of using a social gaming platform if you can’t talk to over 70% of the user base? It’s completely ruined the flow of certain games that require team communication because if your teammates happen to not be in your same age bracket, then you can’t relay information to them.
Beyond that, it doesn’t even work. predators aren’t incapable of lying. They know that, right? They’ve just fractured the base for a method that doesn’t even function as intended. It’s a salt covered bandage over a bullet wound.

I agree in Matt this time. When every government is up your ass because of your ignorance, its beginning to be a lot more difficult to please every country if the entire mess didn’t start if they let Shelp do his thing or look into the context of what he is doing (I heard rumors that he was mass reported but sounds like Preds stealing the win for themselves)

I miss when Roblox was smaller and nobody paid much attention to it.
