Unless the kid also plays Roblox and has been a victim of their behavior he can't exactly sue the company behind it though, can he? Whereas if he actually has played the mobile version of Mario Kart he can.
- jerf 3y agoThe kid is not important. He is a convenient foil for the lawyers. This is not a bad thing necessarily; of such things are class action lawsuits made. But they can just as easily find someone hurt by Roblox. It wouldn't hardly take them a day.
- vanderZwan 3y agoFair point. I'm not familiar with US litigation practices so the idea of lawyers looking for victims to represent in these kinds of cases was not something I considered.
- tough 3y agothey will even run ads to find them
- ineedasername 3y agoThe difficulty with Roblox is that they merely act as a platform. Plenty of their games have some variety of lootbox, but they are created and published on the Roblox platform by 3rd parties with more shallow pockets. Roblox benefits from that game mechanic, but isn't its originator. I'm not saying the exculpates them at all, but it makes the court battle a lot more difficult.
- vanderZwan 3y agoIf you watch the videos GP linked you'll see that it's not lootbox mechanics Roblox is being accused of. It's basically monetizing child labor.
