Ideally, it would not be a roblox game. I personally would rather not make a roblox account at all. And I want to be able to save progress. I don’t usually end up with unlimited time to play games with him and such. But the game is mostly simple. It co-op, and he likes it.

    I support you. Roblox is awful and I dont let my kid play it even though that apparently makes me a monster according to people on the internet who know how to raise my child better than I do.

      After the recent news about the CEO supporting paedophiles, I would have done the same. Don’t feel bad.

      It’s a tough thing. I let him play on it because that is where the very few friends he has are. I did hold out as long as I could. He is autistic, so any interaction with neurotypical kids is good for him. But he can also be a pretty stringent rule follower, so I setup rules for interacting with anyone not a friend he knows personally. And he follows them. In general he doesn’t like playing with rando’s at all. So it works out to be “okay”. Not great. But “okay”. I just don’t want to make me an account, cause then he will want me to play all the lame money grabbing games with him and such.

      All in all. If you kid manages to have social interactions with other kids without roblox. Then there is no need for it. Nearly all of the games on there are just money grab pay-to-play games.
