So Roblox reached a settlement on their lawsuit with the State of Nevada
“It will implement age verification for all users”
What does that mean 🫣

Made this in light of robloxs stupid update, because we need to give the big corpo our money and personal info to make games I GUESS. anything but actually moderating and banning pedos istg
Imagine if murder mystery gets bought since he won’t verify his ID. Roblox could possibly be pushing some of the biggest individual game developers off it’s platform with these ridiculous updates.

Reason for requiring Roblox Plus to publish to users under 16:
"Plus creates a financial cost for bad actors attempting to create a large number of accounts."
I do understand the first 3, but to have to pay a membership to publish a game to 80% of the platform is going to be an interesting approach to watch unfold.

Amazing. Now bring back old faces and allow us to play to our hearts desire. Not limit and tax us on everything we interact with on the platform. @Roblox
One step forward, 5 steps back. What do you miss most? The faces, avatar creators, free games, or playing with siblings or those older or younger? @Roblox#roblox#gaming#wtf#NostalgiaVibes#dev
@Roblox finally free private servers… but still no classic faces, no real mods, and AI garbage everywhere roblox plus = premium 2.0 with extra steps to distract us
Imagine trying to play roblox with your siblings. Younger or older. Or maybe you’re a kid who wants to play with your favorite YouTuber. Fuck you @Roblox
Roblox is changing the eligibility to upload games on the platform.
To publish for all ages, you now need:
- Roblox Plus;
- ID Verification & Age Check;
- 2-Step Verification enabled;
- and have your account in "good standing".
Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts.
To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need:
- An account in "good standing";
- An age check; and
- An account that is at least 2 days old.
Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use.
Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet. Worth a watch if you’re unaware of what’s happened in @Roblox. Video credit to @Pwnedbloxx.
