@badgraphix Welcome to the new internet!
Everyone demanded safety for children without understanding how insanely fucking difficult of a technical problem it actually is (because itโs actually a problem of social patterns and human behavior)
So weโre getting the next best thing: age gates!
#Roblox & #RobloxDev Community, let's be real here...
You canโt have a platform with full freedom to create, play, and chat freely (within TOS) and expect 24/7 moderation to protect kids without trade-offs.
Thatโs why ESRB ratings and restrictions exist for a reason.
People don't realize that we can't have nice things when people abuse them. We either let bad actors make games freely or we put up walls to deter them from doing so, pretty simple.
The Roblox community talks and yells a lot but rarely proposes meaningful solutions to the child safety issues on the platform. And it's not as straightforward as "hiring more mods".
Roblox has not taken away anyone's ability to create games freely - you can still make games for personal enjoyment without any age verification. This was how I and many others started as a young dev, just making games for the fun of it, not caring about having any players at all.
For those who have games that have players, the likelihood of a game with any CCU at all making at least $5 a month to cover the Roblox Plus costs is actually pretty high. Most people who have games that have any players will most likely be able to afford Roblox Plus just from the game's revenue alone. Not to mention Roblox Plus is actually a pretty good-looking subscription anyway. The perks seem actually meaningful unlike the current Premium situation. People should see it as just another cost of running a business, no different to the money that already goes towards advertising or hiring devs.
It's also worth noting that anyone in the DevEx program already has their ID verified, and if people are worried about having to verify their ID but they want to make games that make them money, they must realize that ID verification is already a requirement to cash that revenue out.
To be able to publish games to kids, I fully agree with the type of vetting process that Roblox is proposing. The sole reason that bad actors slip through the cracks so often right now is because of a lack of vetting. It's unfortunate that it has to come to this, but these requirements will undoubtedly deter many bad actors who publish inappropriate content to kids.
The one thing about this update that needs some more thought is the lengthy process of getting your game approved for All Ages. Realistically, most Roblox devs are going to be making games that kids will play. To restrict games to ages 16+ by default and have devs wait potentially WEEKS to be accessible to their target audience is a pretty annoying process. I think there is room to streamline this process as it seems like the only thing I can argue with about the whole change.
Overall, this change shouldn't be as controversial as it has become. It's the easiest way to stop new inappropriate material surfacing on the platform. Will people still slip through the cracks? Sure, it can't be perfect and some people are willing to take the risk. But it will deter a lot of people who would've otherwise been free to publish that type of content.
There are definitely flaws, but I think people underestimate Roblox's willingness to change things based on backlash. We should work together to come up with alternatives and fixes to these flaws rather than storming with pitchforks.
On a final note though, I think most of this anger comes from Roblox constantly changing stuff rather than coming up with one policy that they stick to. It's like they rush features out then add the clarification and fixes later when people are already mad. They need to think through things more thoroughly and be more engaged with the community to gather an opinion on changes before they go live. It's no secret in Roblox's history that people don't like sudden changes, and the spree of sudden changes recently has really riled people up.
@DrGlitchyTV Btw Schlep knows about and has interacted in that very same thread where they do ts ๐ญNot saying he told them to do it but since all they do is lick his dihhh he won't publicly call them out for being shitty people and KF for being a shitty site like he does with Roblox ๐ญโ๏ธ

This is what they do to people who can find open source information thatโs damning to their false deity.
