When i'll become a father of 3 boys ama let them play Roblox but not Minecraft. Yes its true ama make many youtube videos of me playing Roblox with my kids. Ama never let my kids play Minecraft. Minecraft has 2001 hackers 100000 toxic players. And more predators. Minecraft is so shit in every way even Notch rushed to fast🤮.
AMEN! honestly, it's the worst and most dangerous gaming platform that just in 2024 alone, OVER 13,000 children have been KIDNAPPED by PREDATORS that are playing roblox. it's so disturbing. 🗣BAN ROBLOX FOREVER! SAVE OUR CHILDREN!🗣
My two cents: enough with platforms, enough with social media, enough with merficiation of anything, enough with advertising and stealing personal data. Get a Nintendo game, slap it in the switch, have fun with the kids or let them have fun together.
My two cents: platforms are the future of gaming and there is a lot of upside potential... But I agree we really need to get minors off the internet. And Nintendo is a great company for video games for kids. Much safer. Social media and platforms like Roblox will never have enough moderation to be truly safe spaces for kids. I have been in game lobbies with 8 year olds. I know I'm not a predator, but I've definitely seen some sus characters (there are definitely groomers out here). I like to channel my inner child sometimes and play games that are meant more for kids. But just because I know I am not a predator and don't mind kids doesn't mean that I think it is good for kids and adults to be put into random chatrooms together. These platforms should be for no younger than 16+ period. I'm frankly in favor of raising the social media age from 13-16 and keeping 16-21 Y/o chatter off the main internet. I don't wanna censor kids, but really the modern internet is too dangerous for kids without technically inclined parents. (Greatful for the channel and Davide's two cents) Just wanted to add my perspective as a game dev and aspiring father.
Parents beware: many of the top Roblox games incorporate game mechanics that mimic gambling, which can be highly addictive and foster the same obsessive behaviors as traditional gambling. What's even more concerning is that Roblox doesn't consider these games to be gambling because they don’t use real money, so they’re not blocked by any parental controls. However, these games target children who haven’t yet developed the ability to differentiate between real money and in-game money, making it the same in their minds. They spend Robucks or hours of grinding out games for coins only to lose them to a 0.1% chance of winning a rare item. Yet they’re encouraged to keep grinding when someone they know wins a rare item. I wasn’t sure if this was harmful until yesterday when my 11-year-old son told me he can’t wait until he’s 18 so he can gamble and get rich. A quick RUclips search will provide many examples of the Roblox gambling addiction.
I agree that this is bad. But I want to chime in and say: this has become--disgustingly--a common practice in the video games industry and us adult gamers don't like it either. I don't think gambling games should be illegal, but I really think they should be labeled and restricted just like a casino. Games with mechanics like this should immediately get slapped with an M or AO rating and should never appear on a platform with users under 13 y/o. Just wanted to point out: sadly it isn't just Roblox.
that's really helpful cuz as a parent, I didn't monitor closely my 7-yr old playing roblox until one day he told me a stranger add him as friend. Really good and insightful video that fills me in right away!
the hard part is that if they don't like to controls and aren't attached to their specific profile, they will just go create a dummy account to get in.
Is there a way in parental controls to limit who their “friends” are to only those the parent approves of? This would help. As a Grandparent with grandchildren 2,500 miles away Roblox games have provided an affordable way to play with them and spend hours of quality time with them developing relationships with each child while we talk on Discord as we play. I was crushed this summer break when my daughter-in-law took that away from my husband and I by taking Roblox away from the kids. 😢 My grandchildren were very upset as well. I will send this video to their mom in the hopes that she will use these protective measures and provide a way for the kids to again enjoy the many good games Roblox had to offer.
I got into horror when i whas 6 and now i never get scared from any horror again and i got into gore when i whas 7 and into 18+ stuff when i whas 9 and started swearing allot when i got 11
Chatting is a big deal in Roblox! Many people rely on it from training to become a barista, chat with others, trading, etc. Getting rid of Roblox chat for your children is just ridiculous unless he or she is under 8 for many reasons. Kids who are older ruins the entire experience and pure Sanity. If the child enters a game with chatting Required like Venti Cafe. Child cant chat and kicked out of the game for “Trolling.”
Ya mi mom is pissed off at Roblox for the last day be cus she thinks it's inappropriate 4 me be cus she knows thar r sum bad games but it's dumb I'm 11 and she thinks that I will go on these inappropriate games which I don't even go on inappropriate games which is just dumb@@RealAlfredMahpud
sister inlaw 9 year old kid started asking for roblox gift cards so i decided to check the game out and after spending 3 hours checking it out and its a scam, there is hardly any free gameplay, parents really need to check stuff out more thoroughly especially when kids start asking for gift cards to spend on online gaming
Adopt me is a good game but you can get scammed if you fall for a scammers trick. Not like for personal information they were just scam them for their pets in adopt me. ( Don't worry it's a friendly game!)
parental controls good when its since 2019-2018 because no age thinks for games but now in parental controls are dont let to play games, chatting and having fun
I feel like parents see Roblox as a baby game even though it’s not and there entirely wrong like my parents they constantly want to block it because they think I’m a baby because I play Roblox
TBH I saw soo many kids doing online date and saying bad words and more and sharing their own social media and IRL address in my opinion it is for 10+ BTW I play roblox that's why I am sharing with all parents that y'all think roblox is safe is not?
I wanted to say thank you for creating content that gives thorough advice for parents. I'm a gamer myself, but searching age safety of roblox brings up lots of articles and opinion pieces, and its hard to understand what's actually going to be presented to my kids. You rock!
Do not trust the parental settings! Ive played with my kids and still plenty of red flags because not everything gets checked 100%. Wait till they understand/respect your rules then allow access. Plenty of other things a child can have instead of Roblox in my opinion.
The thing is… Roblox was never meant to be for kids, I mean in the App Store it’s 12+ And then most of the kids that play Roblox are always doing bad or annoying things.. that’s why on Roblox I prefer the 13+ games
