If kids pay 5-10 bucks every once in a while to support their entertainment and pay engineering salaries… is that the worst thing in the world? I’d rather my kids play Roblox than scroll Instagram. One of those is “free”.

Roblox engages the exact same psychological manipulation that gambling does.
Would you let your children go nuts at a casino? Or online with sports betting or crypto slots?
The problem isn't the $5-10. It's the psychological manipulation.

#6> This infrastructure must support thundering herd situations where more than 21 million users join a single experience simultaneously
> we now predict capacity needs up to two years in advance
Those two statements taken together are mind boggling

As a parent, if you sit down with your kid and curate (or at least actively check/approve) what they are playing on Roblox, it’s fine. Mine just uses it to socialize with her real life friends, who are also all there. She sticks to the wholesome stuff, it might as well be Minecraft.

imo it’s so bad that employees might as well be working at Meta. It’s an ethical decision. Maybe their ethical framework supports it, but mine doesn’t.

Sure, but at that point, why not just Minecraft then?

She does! A lot of her friends left Minecraft though, but we still play together.
