Happy about this. Been checking it every few months since it was announced, and the cancellation felt really shitty. It seems like it will be playable by the end of the year!

I can see where you’re coming from. But calling Roblox a “specific game” isn’t entirely accurate because it’s got millions of separate ones.

Sure, the majority of Roblox players are kids. But iirc about half are adults. It’s not literally 99% kids with the remaining 1% being pedophiles like you suggest.

Removing the chat function entirely isn’t the solution; pedos would just move somewhere else. Maybe all online chat should be restricted to those 18 and older?

Word games? Multiplayer competitive games?

It’s not just a roleplaying game.

Despite being pretty important to the gameplay, should the developers of other games primarily played by underaged people be forced to ban chat? Like other bigger multiplayer games like Fortnite, Among Us, Valorant, CSGO, etc.

Removed by mod

If this isn’t bait, congrats, you just missed the entire point of the analogy.

While we’re at it, let’s remove commenting and posting from Lemmy for people that aren’t administrators.

This argument is just silly.

>Uses an iOS device

>Wants to be able to install third-party apps

>“Why do you want to be able to allow viruses?”

That would be stupid, many games rely on chat and aren’t exclusively played by children

High chance if he decided to take home “just” $10 million per year, he could pay every single one of the Valve employees at least 100k more every year.

That or they could take less than 30% from developer profits.

It doesn’t matter what he does because they’ll say anything bad is fake

In 100 years people are gonna look back on these 'phobes in the same way that we look back at slave owners… ignoring the fact that a lot of the 'phobes would probably be okay with modern slaves anyways.
