    Get all that out of games completely. Kids used to learn how make their own skins and maps if they wanted them.

      No we didn’t. At most, a handful of games allowed map making like starcraft and command and conquer, and grand theft auto. Making your own skins was never a thing. You’d create, at best, a custom badge or avatar. Skins were always unlocks from finding easter eggs or achievements.

    I don’t get it. How do the children get bank accounts to buy those robux? It’s really more of a parent’s responsibility.

      everyone I know with kids has no idea what a vile platform roblox is and was inclined to just buy the shit to make the kids stop whining. some of them cut it off when I sent videos detailing what is wrong with it. some didn’t care but totally coincidentally they are the ones that said they would have voted trump if they were usa-icans.

      really any game with real money transaction should be considered gambling and restricted. gacha and fomo should add more restrictions on top of that. the level of explotation, abuse, and creepy pedo shit in roblox should get it shut down ten times over.
