Why Roblox Is Not Safe For Children...

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at one of the most popular games with a predominant playerbase of minor users, in this we uncover popular verified games with loot box mechanics and the ability to funnel money in without so much as a simple check of verification. Roblox should be required to fix this as soon as possible. Thanks for watching!

Further clarifications: Preston, owner/creator of "Pet Sim X" has told me that he diligently bans any accounts known to be trading items off server, as well as making the point nothing in his server was akin to anything regarding slot machines or gambling being present in "Pet Sim X".

"Ask your parents before going online" was a statement we all casually ignored back in the day because it seemed silly, but with websites like Roblox and TikTok maybe we should've taken that recommendation much more seriously.

Let me be a boomer here for a second and point out the fact that at some point, parents have to be accountable for what their children are doing on the net.

What’s crazy is sometimes kids and teens will band together to ban or get rid of predators from their games and servers and stuff.
Which is a good skill at such an age, but like one YouTuber said “kids shouldn’t be the ones getting rid of predators from their games”.

Roblox desperately needs a thorough investigation. Not just for this, but there are quite a few PDF files in there. Two or three have been busted already.

There's a bad combination about, parents don't seem to teach kids about internet safety anymore. I was playing roblox for shits n giggles and there was a little girl in chat who said her age, the school she went to and her username was the 3 first letters of her first and last name.... I told her that what she did could be dangerous and she just didn't understand why :(

Roblox is so predatory it hurts. As someone with young children who play Roblox it’s sometimes concerning
EDIT: my kids can’t read yet so I know how to protect them

[Chaseroony]

the craziest part is games on roblox with lootboxes are actually banned in countries that dont allow it, but pet sim somehow bypasses it lol

[RaveSault]

Careful, Muta. Someone who did a deep diive video on Roblox's predatory behavior towards their creators got hit by a lawsuit.
Whoever it is that is running Roblox really, REALLY doesn't want their cashcows (read: kids) to leave them.

Roblox has gone so far downhill, I remember when I played it as a kid, and it was on the level of most other MMOs. I have had enough of these greedy scumbags, I decided to hop back on my account after years of inactivity, just to find out I'm banned because my "security cant be verified" I sent them an email from the account I made, and showed proof of purchases as well as my old password and everything. They kindly pointed the middle finger at me and said "Sorry we dont have a way to verify your account, so it will remained banned. Companies like this make me sick, ruining childhoods....

What's really sad is you can spawn these items in with cheat engine then sell them. LMAO

Fun fact: In the earlier stages of the roblox catalogue, shirts and pants could alternatively be purchased with a free currency called Tickets. They could also be acquired for free as well, but later down the road, Roblox removed tickets and forced clothing creators to charge at least five robux in selling their clothing.

I just cannot believe the kind of stuff Roblox gets away with every day..

[TheNightWatcher]

If I have kids, they’re banned from the internet. I’ve seen too many kids get targeted by bad people (including my own younger siblings) to feel any other way.

I joined ROBLOX in January of 2007. My account ID # was under 10000. I stopped playing around 2012. It blows my mind what it has become. When I started playing, nobody that I knew, knew what it was. I tried going back out of sheer boredom during the pandemic and it's *almost unrecognizable* to me. There are games with more people currently playing it than there were people playing ROBLOX when I was around. Crazy stuff. It's like driving down memory lane and everything you remember feels more generic, shiny and crowded. Made some amazing friends in those 5-6 years of playing though. Shout out to Minish, LuckyGlues, Pheedy, CSX, Dignity, FoxMcBanjo, SilentSwords, Milan, Jigglypuff555, and Manta26. You guys made my childhood fun. 🔥

As a parent: Parents MUST check what their kids are watching and playing. Roblox is for children but parents can not still let their kids be babysat by computers. There are many many roblox games that are very clearly for teens or older teens (I know that there is 13 and older but still) as they include horror elements and other nsfw elements.

[dkgaws]

If I ever have children, I’ll make sure they know very well about gambling, predatory behavior, and other dangers of the online world before letting them go ANYWHERE.

I played this game 10+ years ago as a child, and it was so much fun. There were very minimal micro transactions, and you could earn the in-game currency by playing the game. (That feature has been removed, surprise surprise) This is insane how badly this game has changed. Used to be a place to express creativity and make fun little games to play with your friends, now it’s straight predatory holy shit

[robertdale]

Finally ive been saying this for ages. I've educated my son on staying away from the gambling shit.

It's everywhere. Loads of games are stuffed with loot boxes and such like. I've even seen games that are straight up casinos where kids can buy chips to gamble with.

And in their defence they have actively been removing copyright stuff from the platform. There have been tens of thousands of music tracks removed in the last few months.

I was one of those kids who had unrestricted access to Roblox, and spent nearly 600 dollars of my dad’s credit card without him noticing until he went through my old iPad. I never knew why I wasn’t punished much more than I was (my parents weren’t exactly soft) but I now realize that the predatory practices of Roblox and Roblox games are mostly to blame, and they probably realized that.
