• To get items in Roblox for a relative, I used to pretend to be a child and find users who would groom me. They were entirely unaware that I was quite probably older than they were. I saved hundreds of dollars on gifts, and it didn’t cost me all that much time. Roblox is not safe for kids

      I play online with my son and have never ever seen that. It’s almost all tower defense games which would be a different crowd.

      What games were you playing that had that kind of chat going on?

        Ninja something, muscle something, and a game that looked a bit like prototype. All incremental games. As you can tell, I wasn’t particularly invested in them. I don’t imagine you or your son begged in global chat for several minutes at a time with intentional spelling errors.
