I agree with you except for the fact that there’s just so much bullshit for kids out there, and parents are so exhausted right now (both are working and working longer). So it’d be nice if there was a system that actually looked out for children and people instead of businesses.
At the end of the day, though, it is still the parents’ responsibility. It just sucks that this person can wipe their hands of things and think that sufficient.

This is a a business operating to target children to deliver them content they know is inappropriate for them.
This behaviour is predatory. It shouldn’t be tolerated against children. The content is promoted for children, so it’s reasonable for a parent to assume the content is appropriate for them.

Literally this shit applies to everything targeted to kids. It’s why advertising to them should be not allowed. That’s never going to happen though.
In the end it’s the parents responsibility to raise kids with a mediocre amount of media literacy to know what is and isn’t predatory.

Although I’ve heard of the game, I’m unfamiliar with it.
Can you elaborate on what exactly is inappropriate ?
Also, is it something some parents evaluated and are OK with their children being exposed to?
Example: my parents were ok with me watching R rated movies with them when I was like ten…

Roblox isn’t so much “a game” but a collection of thousands of player created games (or “experiences” as the company calls them). You can find a bit of everything, from obstacle courses to first person shooters to casinos.
Since Roblox is so heavily targeted at children, it’s very easy to find pedophiles or other people with ill intent. Moderation doesn’t exist, afaik
