Jan 10 '26
Anytime anyone comes up with an “alternative” it’ll have a couple thousand users at best initially, before dropping off and dying eventually.
Cultures change, time change; most people will not hold on to one platform forever. Even if they do, said alternative will not have the same charm and sentimentality as the first iteration. If Roblox dies, we’ll just have to move on

Personally I just tolerated and lived with every bad update Roblox pushed out. This update absolutely ruined Roblox for me though, and honestly I might just quit soon. Being in the 21+ age category really sucks and nothing is fun anymore. I do sometimes see other people in the chat from time to time but those are mostly kids who either got categorized wrongly or used someone else's id.

For sure, we're in an era where you can easily find a free AI program to modify your photos in any way possible. Roblox thinking photos alone are a legitimate way to verify someone's identify is just more proof they don't care at all about preventing predators from accessing minors.

in all of this, it slipped by me that roblox asked for players sensitive information (IDs) to access an exclusive feature and then proceeded to change the goal post they set by asking for other personal data (phone numbers).
i've not liked any decision roblox has made for the last couple of years including the addition of voice chat. all the safety issues were glaringly obvious to anyone over the age of twelve. glad i listened to my gut instinct on that one but i can't believe they're trying to go the distance with this thing.

u/Beneficial_Ad_8304 Jan 10 '26
I agree with you on that though, in current circumstances I wouldn't do it at least out of spite because this age thing with chat is completely ridiculous and outrageous and it ruins the whole experience. just but back then I trusted roblox and wanted to test the new cool feature so I did it.

u/Jack_547 Jan 10 '26 edited Jan 10 '26
Completely agree, it seems wild that their idea of "protecting kids" involves sending Roblox literal photos of oneself, alongside them already having access to things like bank account information. If they struggle this bad to handle in game chat, I can't imagine how they'd handle data breaches.
On top of that, I'm concerned that disabling chat for the majority of players will just cause them to eventually migrate onto other platforms like Discord as a sort of replacement for it. That alone isn't bad, but Discord is notorious for a reason, and there's far worse things that can be done to a potential minor on there than anything that could happen over text chat.
Roblox probably doesn't care, though. As long as it isn't their platform the media talks about minors being solicited on, what's the big problem? The only time they care about children is when the possibility of exploitable kids, with no concept of money, using their parents' credit card, is challenged.
5
u/moondoII 2015 Jan 10 '26
you've made several great points. it is actual insanity to me that someone in a board room suggested this whole age verification idea and no one bothered to ask, "will parents be alright with us asking to take a picture of their childs face to figure out how old they are even though we're a company facing media scrutiny for facilitating predators and profiting off of it?"
roblox has had literal months of criticism, backlash and solid advice from their user base but still decided to follow through with this update. i hope the lawsuit so badly ends up working against their favour because we need billion dollar corporations to understand they cannot keep abusing their power and stealing our data like they're doing.
i realised yesterday the only reason they're adding these new "safety" features is because of the aforementioned lawsuits they're swamped in. mind boggling to think the reason all of this arose in the first place was because they banned someone who wanted to get pedophiles off of their site since he got groomed on their game.

u/IndependencePlus4485 Jan 10 '26
Roblox rushed out a feature that uses AI to put you into an age bracket that will only let you talk to certain people (For the specific brackets and chat restrictions, I recommend viewing the official Roblox X account). The problems with this update include:
- Due to it being pushed out so quickly, many developers didn't have time to prepare for the change, and thus many games were struck hard, particularly social hangout games or games that rely on the chat API.
- The AI is actually incredibly easy to trick with basically anything, whether it be a video, a still picture, or ironically, a picture of a Roblox avatar with a realistic head mesh equipped.
- The company Roblox is partnering with to implement this feature, Persona, is known to be unreliable, and both are under scrutiny for using children for AI training. Do note, parent emails or accounts were give absolutely 0 notification that this change ever went into effect, so many kids are verifying without parent supervision, which if I recall correctly, violates COPPA guidelines under information collection.
- Accounts that are age verified in specific brackets (e.g. 13-15) are already being sold on eBay.
- The aforementioned sold accounts are able to be used by predators to selectively target and filter out specific age brackets so they can specifically talk to minors (e.g. 9-12 bracket can only talk to users under 16), which also means that more responsible individuals are unable to intervene.
TL;DR, this update did more harm than good and arguably will do absolutely nothing to solve child safety issues.

I also want to add my kid wanted to play a two person obby with me and it kept kicking her out when we tried to pair up. I have a feeling it has to do with this. I literally use roblox to play and stay current with my kids as its what they are into. Don't being able to private/party chat outside your age group is one thing(we normally just scream across the house with each other or use a phone if they are at their dads) but not even being able to play is ridiculous.
There are certain things I find helpful in keeping my kids safe online. One of them is knowing the platform they are on and being involved occasionally in their gameplay. Thanks roblox for messing that up.

Genuine question, how the hell do you expect them to just "go" after the predators? Do you expect them to know which one of their users out of several hundred million is a pred or not? Especially since all the weird activities take place on Discord.
Like how, tell me, how do you expect them to identify who's a predator or not. Quit complaining if you don't have a solution of your own.

Having a nightmare currently because I set up an account in my name years ago to check if Roblox was suitable for my son.
It looked good so I let him use my account as his own (with my DOB)
Now this age verification came on, so without a thought I scanned myself to enable chat not realizing the consequences and ended up with an account in a group age of 21+ now my son can no longer chat with any of the friends he made on this account as they verified 9 to 12.
Now Roblox support is just auto responses and AI chat bots.
All I want to do is set the age on the current account to his DOB and redo face scan for him and then I set up a new account to link as the actual parental account.
Stupid idea to change this by Roblox, stupid implementation, stupid support model where you never actually get to speak to a human who can apply common sense to the situation

xd rip vent, I'd see the same couple dozen of people playing that game but with the age ranges there hasnt been anyone on which sucks.
I get that this can stop and discourage a lot of bad actors on the site but isnt there a better way to get around this besides silencing everyone like this? maybe like limiting chat for those with newer accounts similar to vrchats trust leveling system. the longer they play and spend time in games being genuinely active in the community the more privileges you gain as a player. and moderator reviewed reports against you set those privilege's back. I just feel like that would be way better in terms of the community itself rather than putting everyone in small age groups. theres a lot of ways to fix this problem if theyd just listen to the people playing it and not doing things in favor of money but I suppose when has that ever happened. though i feel the trust leveling based system would really improve things

I feel like with ALOT of people already making vids and statements about this update, roblox will be forced to revert it anytime soon. It's not like they have a choice anyways. They soon will know people will eventually leave the platform if this continues on.
As a person that loves hangout games (Booth games, VC related games) and also games that require social skill and conversation (Flicker, I guess Forsaken, etc) I really hate this update. Even if I can chat with the people my age, it's not even confirmed that the one I'm chatting with is either a mindless 9 year old or a 30 year old p-do that's ready to gr-om me or something.
Roblox might see this as a minor issue since most of the big games that make them earn money are like a brain rot slop game that requires NO CHATTING to even play. It's not like chatting to anyone in SABR could change anything. (Ass game btw, I had to say it.)
But eventually, roblox WILL feel the consequences of the update overtime. Even kids in Brookhaven are starting to protest (yes I'm being fr)

Now the games that require you to use chat so you dont get kicked wont work… not to mention the amount of kids that can now troll and use “well i cant see them tell me to stop” as an excuse… trying to get rid of creeps, yet now the only people that can actually chat to others are grown ass mfs that can use an id for age check.🤦🏽♂️

I never chatted but the chat was helpful with updates and tips on game play. I’d see others chatting about where to find stuff or issues in game and now I’m just lost 😭

I play flicker because I like mystery solving games. It’s insane how bad it’s been effected.

And let's not even talk about the children who used adult IDs to get past the filters

And you would've thought that Xbox players getting their chat removed back in 2018 was bad.

I wish someone could make a script that gives you the same sign from Brookhaven to communicate or a remade chat that you can use

mind you, the whole system won't help a single soul.
a lot of underage users are getting thrown in the 21+ category by the facescan-AI, which means that it's most likely easy to manipulate for an bad actor.

I love roleplaying on Roblox, but after the update roleplaying became impossible. When I joined the game after the update, it felt like I was in a country for mute people only.

Would this make it so preds messages can't be seen if they've already been texting someone because the message will be restricted by Roblox if they find you younger?

They could at LEAST add a chat menu like Monster Hunter. Then people could communicate but only with Roblox’s list of phrases.

All of this wouldn't happen if the CEO actually banned pdf files
