the fix for it is creepy also, they're doing AI detected age verification of the kids iirc, and the preds are circumventing it also i assume.

The children are circumventing it as well. Lot of them figured out pretty quick how to game the system so as to not be flagged as children.
Roblox isn't so much a game in and of itself, it's more of a backbone and lobby from which which people can build games. I suppose it was probably inspired by Minecraft, but has since grown into its own thing. There are a great many different individual games accessed from it, varying greatly in quality, playerbase, and genre. Its popularity seems immense among today's youth. At least the large majority of my daughter's classmates seem to play various games on Roblox, even those coming from households that don't appear to make any other use of video games.
As with most everything involving parenting, adequate supervision is necessary. A lot of parents seemingly have not figured out that an online community is more akin to a public playground than to television. The same mediocre-to-poor parents who might plop their children in front of the T.V. for hours at a time do the same with the computer, seemingly unaware that they're very different technologies. For my part, I wouldn't even let my daughter watch television wholly unsupervised when she was small. I sure as heck didn't leave her on the internet unsupervised. Shocker--we haven't had any trouble with it.
