[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just explain to your kid the differences between Roblox and Minecraft and why Minecraft is safer? I'm pretty sure you can find some Tiktoks made by teens showing inappropriate stuff in Roblox, like messages from creeps and Robux drama. If he hears it from other kids what a p.i.t.a Roblox is he might be more amenable to sticking with Minecraft.

Also, my kid says Roblox is dorky and everyone at her school prefers Minecraft. But it's probably because all the other parents say no to Roblox.[/quote]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Minecraft has all the inappropriateness and addictive properties. Just run the equivalent inappropriate Minecraft search for inappropriate Roblox, everything from spelling out curse words with the buildings they create to inappropriate chats to predatory mods. And then there are 3rd party add-ons

On Roblox, just go to settings, disable chat, select the few innocent games your kids want to play, disable robux. You can also have your kid in a private server. No one ever got hurt playing 15 mins of restaurant tycoon[/quote]

You can disable all those things and play in your own private world on Minecraft too. And a motivated kid can re-enable those settings behind your back on any platform. But the existence of Robux attracts more bad actors to the Roblox platform, so it is the worse of the two. The in-game economy of Minecraft is virtually non-existent because, as other have pointed out, any money you spend goes to the company, not other players. Selling mods is not possible on the platform, and selling them off-platform is prohibited by the EULA. You're really not encountering that many strangers in Minecraft unless you go out of your way to find them. All that = safer.[/quote]
