I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?
As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.
So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He's 10, so please don't recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)
He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.
Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn't just a punishment.
Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge
On one hand it can be damaging to take away opportunities from kids, on the other hand roblox is massive groomer haven; I genuinely don't think the kinds of connections they would make there would be worth the long term harm that may result for being involved in that shit.
Ultimately I think you did the right thing by banning it. You're locking out like a 10th of their social life but those aren't contacts they want.
Yeah we're giving him and his friends alternative multiplayer games to have fun on with each other. It's not like we're killing his social circle - we're just upgrading the forum.
Do you know any of the friends' parents? Maybe you can all gather some ideas together and have a more uniform policy on what's banned and what might be fun alternatives.
That's 100% the plan. The robloxocalypse occured as a joint venture between myself and the other parents.
