    I’m sure that their verification process will be thorough and 100% foolproof and this absolutely won’t result in the game platform notorious for having a pedophile problem just making that problem much worse.

      Talking to people slightly younger than me, it shocks me how many full grown adults play Roblox with no shame. To be fair these are usually people that just turned 18 or so, but I still don’t understand playing Roblox as an adult.

      Yeah online dating is already pretty endemic on Roblox. The Roblox Fandom page has an entire entry on ODing and ODers. Methinks this is about Roblox finding a way to monetize it.

    Eh, this seems WAY less harmful than dating an AI.

    I’ve actually met couples who met through online gaming or chat rooms. I mean, they weren’t the most normal couples, but still.

      Roblox is invested with pedophiles and its wealth is built on the exploitation of child labor. This has a lot of potential to be really bad and seems to be the company trying to find ways to continue its users as they age out of the player demographic (tweens and under).

    85% of the point of a date is a nice (not necessarily expensive) meal and some kind of entertainment that allows you to chat about it. Roblox satisfies none of these.

        I thought that Roblox technically offered “experiences”, because calling them games would go against Apple’s TOS for the app store or something like that.
