@massivelyop Ah, echoes of all that second life bullshit hype that never panned out.

Stefan Corazza, Chef des Roblox Studio, der Firma hinter zum Vorwurf, dass Roblox Kinder ausbeute, indem es sich auf die Software-Entwicklungs-Arbeit vieler Kinder stütze:

> Corazza said. "Like, you can say, 'Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,' right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income. So, I can be like 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now, with just a laptop, I can create something, make money and then sustain my life.

Das Gespräch lief auch sonst nicht so gut, es musste sich sogar die Pressesprecherin einmischen, nachdem Corazza sich immer weiter in die "Du kannst alles erreichen!"-Romantisierung von verrannte.

Pouvez-vous m’aider ?

Je ne connais rien aux Jeux vidéo en ligne pour la jeunesse.

Ma nièce joue à sur tablette et me dit qu’elle a perdu tous ses accessoires en mettant à jour son inventaire suite à une mai dev récente

J’ai du mal à comprendre si c’est normal. Je cherche des infos sur internet avec peu de succès

Does anyone know wtf is going on with ? My kid adores those games but it's been glitching out something awful lately. She had items she bought with robux disappear from her account and when hubby tried logging in to play with her yesterday it kept kicking him. He had to create a new account

mainframed767,

it just keeps happening. Just read an article about some tech company demanding people return to the office "or else," and without fail it turns out they just signed a large lease for property.

Earlier this year it was (ironically) Zoom, now Roblox today (both public companies).

Guttungen spiller flere spill i Roblox hvor mye av progressjonen avhenger av at han må generere penger ved å la spillet stå og surre hele dagen - eller natta (det får han selvsagt ikke lov til). Så størsteparten av tiden brukt i spillet går med på å ikke spille...

Jeg har ikke satt meg inn i om det er begrensninger i plattformen til Roblox som tvinger dette frem hos spilldesignere, men kan ikke forstå at det skal være tilfellet?

I like voice chat because it allows for you to have more natural conversations with people, and I completely understand people not wanting to give some crucial information to a company like Roblox.

This, on the other hand, is going too far. It gives no real benefit, and I have a feeling they'll switch up their privacy policy later to revert that second statement. Or worse, do it in secret and get into a nasty lawsuit if someone finds out.

VisualPlugin,

@morxemplum

Makes sense. The problem with external sites is that they don't observe the same safety standards that Rōblox does.

Taking from my experience, your demographics will vary by which games you play. Adopt Me attracts younger players and Phantom Forces attracts adolescents. No ID req'd.

The education system in the US has structural problems. Who's to say parents aren't responsible for raising their children and instilling into them an understanding of the world outside of home?

Cookies,

@morxemplum i love selling my data to the chinese

TIL is opening an in-game dating service for 17+ users

Like, match up and go on virtual dates in the game

How. Who thought. WHAT

@InfiniteHench man the copy-paste, slenders (and OG daters) are both fighting for their lives for that

My opinion has to accept it because I did wait for Roblox to be taken over by grownups
