Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

I wouldn't be complaining about this, except I am because Roblox is operated by pedos.

Something extreme measures such as face recognition has to be taken to ensure problems like this won't happen again. However, though, pedophiles having access to data storage containing such verifications can go so wrong on so many levels.

So heres what they should do:

Fire and prosecute all of the pedos.
Replace the pedos with trustworthy people to operate Roblox.
Then go through verifying.

Option 2…shut down roblox. It doesn’t NEED to exist.

  I don't get the appeal, really. It's just a lego-looking ripoff where the arms are fucking huge and everything. The things that get chosen to be popular, says a lot about people's collective tastes sometimes.

    I think the 2 last points are what really end up making it such a success with kids - low attrition to start and lots of different games in one place. It takes 2 clicks to go from a parkour race to a pet care sim.
    
    When you’re targeting kids, your graphics should be easy to understand. Bright colors, simple shapes, it’s enough. If you think about it, those graphics wouldn’t be too different from what a kid can usually draw.

    The other big thing is it lowers the barrier to entry of making games.
