      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.

      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.]
