Roblox CEO whitewashes child labor.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13914800 Roblox Studio boss: children making money on the platform isn’t exploitation, it’s a gift In an interview with Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza at GDC in late March, where a new suite of AI-powered creation tools was demoed, I asked about the reputation Roblox hac gained and the notion that it was exploitative of young developers, since it takes a cut from work sometimes produced by children. “I don’t know, you can say this for a lot of things, right?” 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.

Roblox devising new ways to exploit children.

I was hoping this was some kind of Hexbear cruel joke, but nope… even The Verge is reporting on it. Edit: Just saw their 2018 predictions in the article, some of them that didn’t happen were pretty funny

Nearly half of US kids want in-game currency this Christmas

Kids want to play the games their friends are playing more than what their parents play. I will play Fortnite and Roblox and Rocket League with my son and I’ve never had a skin or a battle pass and have tried to show him you can have fun with out wasting your money but that doesn’t stop a kids FOMO. Publishers know kids have undeveloped abilities to delay gratification and are susceptible to peer pressure

Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!

I wouldn’t be excited. The reason Hytale exists in the first place is because Mojang blocked server microtransactions which effectively killed the income of the Hypixel server. They’re also planning paid mods, paid cosmetics and minigame MTX (whatever the fuck that means). I think there’s a legitimate concern that the game is going to end up heavily monetized and it’s going to turn into a meta-game platform like Roblox. But if your want to be excited about Minecraft “clones” there are other choices. If you’re looking for something more action related there’s Allumeria which is aiming to be like a 3D Terraria. It’s not out yet but there’s early access planned for 2026. And if you’re looking for more a more survival experience there’s Vintage Story. I will 100% recommend Vintage Story to anyone wanting an actual survival game and not just survival elements that turn into mindless busywork 1 hour into the game. There’s so much work that goes into almost everything you do in Vintage Story but you’ll feel so rewarded for putting in the effort. You can spend a whole year in game and every in game day have a goal for the day.

What business plan seemed so dumb to you but actually worked out?

They knew what they were doing. They knew that Minecraft needed a strong competitor in the video game market, and bet big on the ‘long game.’ Noticing that you are a parent of a person who plays Roblox, I feel obligated to share two investigative videos about Roblox Corporation practices or lack thereof, the exploitive practices they have to paying third-party in-game content “developers” (that are often kids/tweens/teens), and the issues Roblox have had with pedophiles/adults grooming young people/kidnappings. The following videos are from People Make Games on Youtube. Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video. So We Dug Deeper. [Just so we are clear, I am not telling you how to parent your son or person. I am just informing you to the best of my ability, about the issues that have arisen on and off Roblox.]
