"At this point, Roblox is more like a gaming platform than a standalone game. Roblox users create their own games in the virtual world, which other Roblox gamers can play. Roblox even has its own economy, with some Roblox gaming developers making hundreds of thousands of dollars or more if their game gets popular. There's an in-game virtual currency called Robux, which can be used to access premium features and items."
"Due to the nature of Roblox, it received an official ESRB rating of T for Teen. However, that's just because some of the games warrant that level of rating. If your child tells you they're playing Roblox, that really doesn't give you much information. It's the equivalent of them telling you they're playing video games. You need to know specifically what games they are playing on Roblox to get an idea of what is or isn't appropriate."
Roblox is a user-created online gaming platform where players explore a virtual universe and interact with cartoonish, LEGO-like characters. Users can create their own games and share them with others, and some successful creators earn substantial money. An in-game currency, Robux, allows purchases of premium features and items. The platform has an ESRB T for Teen rating because some games warrant that level, but individual games vary widely in appropriateness. Millions of children use the platform, which has led to predators attempting to exploit it. Parents need to know exactly which Roblox games their children play and apply oversight and safety measures accordingly.
