Don’t show him Roblox
- evanmoran 2y agoJust curious if other people feel the same way? My kid is right on the edge of the Minecraft-Roblox divide and I don’t have a strong opinion either way (he’s almost 7)
- theGnuMe 2y agoMixed bag. Lots of scammers as well. Also lots of tears.
- chrisldgk 2y agoThinking about your kids „safety“ (that’s a strong word, but consider gambling, violent content, scammers, etc.), Minecraft is definitely a better choice for a child. Get him into Java Edition rather than Bedrock edition and most of the mods are free, there’s a lot of tinkering he can do with it and practically all of the games content single- and multiplayer is absolutely child-safe. Roblox is a lot more open-ended with what it lets it’s users create, which leads to a lot of violent and not safe for children content, mixed with some pretty aggressive monetization. I don’t have a child, but if I did I’d rather let them play Call of Duty (one of the older ones without microtransactions) than leave them alone with Roblox.
- throw-the-towel 2y agoCall of Duty has microtransactions now? Welp.
- Novosell 2y agoOnly for a decade or so.
- Aeolun 2y agoToo late. Some of the games on there are actually kind of fun though. Now that he’s accepted that I’m not going to buy any Robux it’s ok.
