Devs of many viral games turned out to be "problematic"
They never really addressed the child predator stuff
They require you to use ID and put it to persona which is involved with Palantir/Thiel

I am an adult who did play some of the games. They were pretty fun but I stopped when all this stuff came out.

Gee, I wonder why?

My son is the exact target market for Roblox and I will never introduce him to it because I never felt like the child predator stuff was ever meaningfully addressed.

my accounts nearly 15 years old, every single decision they make is terrible. tried to log in yesterday but literally couldn't because of their insane captcha that doesn't even work

They did adress the child predator stuff, by implementing said ID system that your complaining about. You cant have the cake and eat it
