Het onlineplatform Roblox verwijderde meer dan honderd spellen waarin mensen de moord op Charlie Kirk konden naspelen. Roblox ligt de laatste tijd regelmatig onder vuur, omdat kinderen gemakkelijk in aanraking komen met allerlei vormen van schadelijke inhoud.
Dude is right: parental controls suck. I suspect that’s because they kind of take a back seat in most purchasing decisions. Of the various platforms I’ve enabled parental controls on (Apple, Nintendo, Android, Xbox, Epic, Roblox), I’ve found Epic’s to be the most straightforward. It’d be nice if there was a mandated API that any kid-platform had to support, and a nice simple app to control it.
Steam does not have a monopoly by any actual definition of monopoly, though. A) Mobile gaming makes up the most of all video gaming revenue. B) On PC the most revenue is made by games that aren’t even on Steam in the first place (Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox). Steam’s 2023 revenue has been estimated to be around 8.6bn USD out of 45bn USD of PC gaming revenue. That’s barely a 5th of the market power. By no account this can be actually considered to be a monopoly.

App developers are responsible for the content the emulators can include (which are called mini-apps) So let’s say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store. This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let’s say if Roblox doesn’t remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)
Am I missing something, because I’d imagine the target audience for Roblox is not the same as the one in the market for a new bed side table?

Since 2018, at least two dozen people in the United States have been arrested and accused of abducting or abusing victims they met on Roblox These are only the ones who got caught, by the way. And only in the US. What an absolute shitshow.
I’m crumudgeony enough to remember when buying a game was buying a game. I disliked it when mobile games slowly changed into monitization via microtransactions. Heck, I remember buying games for full price and then they got changed to ftp overnight with mtx. That kind of stuff drove me nuts and I am firmly anti-mtx. That said, I let my kid earn money he can use on mtx for cosmetics and stuff on Fortnite. But it is a dedicated pool of money for mtx, his actual money kept separate so he can buy ice cream or save for bigger purchases without worry. Roblox on the other hand, is a company that exploits children for their labor to create the games and it hires psychologists to ensure kids dump as much money into it as possible all while having no moderation. Roblox is awful. Microtransactions in children’s games are harmful and exploitive. I’m letting my kid get a drip feed so he can get the little benefit from having non-stock costumes in fortnite while also having the learning experience that in games with mtx, you can never have enough - without him becoming a whale.

They’re going to do Occupy Wall Street but in Roblox. Meanwhile the Democrats are trying to invent new categories of cognitive dissonance to pretend that class politics is irrelevant and that Zohran Mamdani is only popular because of good cinematography.

Ethan Dallas was targeted by an adult sexual predator on Roblox when he was 12, and later on Discord, according to a lawsuit. He took his own life last year. The mother of a 15-year-old California boy who took his own life is now suing Roblox and Discord over his death, alleging her son was groomed and coerced to send explicit images on the apps. Rebecca Dallas filed the lawsuit Friday in San Francisco County Superior Court, accusing the companies of “recklessly and deceptively operating their business in a way that led to the sexual exploitation and suicide” of Ethan Dallas.

I knew about codeberg but not forgejo Codeberg is a public non-profit Forgejo instance hosted by the actual maintainers of the tool. They’re compromised with free software and provide their services with no pay walls other than a single limitaiton: only accepting open-source projects in their instance. That shouldn’t be a problem if you want to work on open-source, right? https://devforum.roblox.com/t/forgejo-in-a-nutshell/2505867

https://www.luanti.org/ is a near perfect minecraft clone, better actually in some ways. Setting up a server for example is cake when you don’t have to worry about DRM or authentication whatsoever. Every instance is a server with a click of a button. If the server is running mods your client will automatically download them proper mods to match. The only thing it’s missing is the huge library of mods minecraft has, but It’s easier to make mods for Luanti than minecraft since it’s open source. It’s more than just a mincraft clone, they’re angling to be the open source minecraft + roblox all rolled into one. It’s already better as a base game than either.
