Roblox CEO Issues Advice to Parents

'If you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox'

says CEO

The CEO of multi-billion pound gaming platform Roblox has issued advice to parents who may have concerns about their children in relation to the game.

“My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox,” CEO Dave Baszucki told the BBC in a recent Gaming Empire: The Roblox Story programme, which is available on BBC iPlayer.

Roblox Corporation co-founder and CEO Dave Baszucki has said that parents worried about their kids using Roblox have a fairly simple option open to them: "My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox."

Baszucki went on to say

"that sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions."

It's so nice he trusts us to think about our kids once in a while. Baszucki's message is "a bit of a get out," said Ellie Gibson of Scummy Mummies.

"It's much easier said than done, especially when all their friends are playing it."

Roblox is one of the most popular platforms in the world, with 79.5 million daily active users and a long-term goal (I kid you not) of making that 1 billion daily active users. Roblox Corporation is now worth $41bn (£31bn). It bleeds into the real world in all sorts of ways, such as when the BBC used it last year to explain the UK's general election to children.

Only time will tell if the CEO’s words are accurate…or controversial
