Disappointing to see EA still up there.
And Roblox. Aren't they just using kids as free ways to create content while enabling grooming.
Ya a lot of pedos out there. They're the ones pending the money. Not kids.
Wut? I thought it was just some "cool" Minecraft for the very Lil ones.
I was under that same impression but think about it like a server where everyone can VR hang out with avatars. Now imagine that server with avatars aim at kids and you can spend lots on money buying gifts.
How could it not go wrong?
Oh boy, one cynical ass like me could even argue it was the whole intention of that. But so many billions just from fucking pedos and a handful kids that actually kinda play it? Hard to imagine. But sadly not THAT hard 😔
It's far more than a handful (I think it was like 400 million?) and the vast vast majority don't encounter the pedos, but far too many do
I meant a handful kids that PAY. Can't imagine 400 million kids actually paying more than a few bucks every month.
Guess the problem is in the numbers. Only 1 pedo amongst 10000 "normal" people sounds realistic (or optimistic). But with 400m players it is a small City of dregs.
Oh shit and I thought it was just a kid's game builder...
