I feel like I haven’t heard anything from younger genz about games outside of ‘streamer screamer’ game of the week.

Is there anything really new and unique?

      You could argue the same for any game engine (Unity) or game with a big modding community (Garry’s Mod). The big difference here is that Roblox aimed straight at children right from the start and also offers a no friction hosting of those creations

        It’s not like your throwing him into a prison cell with a pedo. Pedo’s could literally be ANYWHERE online. I think you are paranoid.

            I grew up on the internet and survived 42 years without running into a pedo… I have been online gaming for around 30 years… I don’t blame you for protecting your kids, I would too. But I think there’s more fear than reality in a lot of these stories.

              Have you considered that when you were a kid you would have been too clueless to notice them and when you’re an adult they would be not very likely to out themselves to you?

              You’re likely not playing the same games they would be either if the target audience of what they’re lurking in is aimed at children.
