Roblox and Discord are being sued by the mother of a 15-year-old boy who died by suicide after allegedly being targeted by "an adult sex predator" posing as a child on the platforms. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed in San Francisco Superior Court by Becca Dallas, according to The New York Times. Her son, Ethan Dallas, joined the online gaming platform Roblox with his parents' approval and with parental controls in place.
So you or your child wants to play Roblox? That's great, but where do you begin? In fact, where do you find it in the first place? As the app is available through multiple channels on PC and mobile devices, there's the potential to find unofficial and potentially dangerous versions of it elsewhere. As such, you may wish to know how to download and update Roblox via the official channels.
Roblox has become a hub for crossovers and a growing metaverse of IP, and its next collaboration will see one of the most popular anime series of all time, My Hero Academia, land on its shores starting September 6. My Hero Academia: Ultimate launches that day and is billed as a PvP-focused MMORPG that will allow players to go on quests to unlock new abilities, level up their characters to get stronger, and use their powerful "Quirks" to climb up the in-game leaderboards.
Fans were disappointed to discover that, while Lady Gaga was in fact present and in control of her avatar during the event, only a select few players--including devs, influencers, and contest winners--were actually able to interact with her directly. Other players only saw a broadcast version of Gaga's avatar from a different server. Fans also expressed disappointment that the Gaga Q&A was purely text chat, instead of a voice broadcast.
