DNS restriction on Roblox servers.

arrest their parents and send the kids to orphanages

Arrest the kids and send their parents to the orphanage

Molest the kids and become the parent

>>106553801 (OP)
give them real games instead of free to play slop

>>106553801 (OP)
Make them earn the money.

>Parent:WaitForChild("Egg")
The code is trooning children

>>106553801 (OP)
Install linux on their pc, don't give them a smartphone. Done.

>>106553801 (OP)
Make it illegal for kids to use the internet or to even own any smart devices

>>106554705
This, but put the legal responsibility on the parents rather than websites.

>>106553801 (OP)
You can't. It is a life lesson in action. If can't realize that gambling for shit is a fruitless effort when they are young. You are going to be doing it with serious drops when you are older.

Make any game with in-app purchase 18+
Arrest parents who let their kids play 18+ games

>>106553801 (OP)
Isn't that quite literally illegal in Europe?

You joke but there was SNES casino game that I played as a kid, that was really fun at first until I figured out all the games were rigged.
I could win by also rigging the game (I forget how, probably save scumming) but that moment was when I realized that all gambling games with random outcomes were retarded.

>How did you not learn that lesson with Candy Land or Monopoly?
Because those games kind of dress it up, and the social aspect is what matters, you don't really care about winning or losing; there's nothing approximating stakes in those games and kids at that age broadly don't have any skill anyway.

Losing SNES Casino bux (even though they were infinite and you could get more by restarting) crystalized the realization that gambling sucks shit.
But the relevant part is I didn't have to waste my parents money to find out (I guess technically I spent some money renting the game but whatever, literally money well spent)

>>106554769
Or teach them to be financially literate? Lots of f2p games these days are f2p because cheapskate gaymers don't wanna pay a subscription.

>>106554705
This is ultimately what's going to happen. Under 18's are going to be banned from the internet and that's a good thing.

>>106553801 (OP)
>WaitForChild
they are literally preying on them

>>106554562
This. Don't just give them stupid free money.

>>106555880
>teach them to be financially literate?
Next you suggest teachings nigger to read and count

>>106553801 (OP)
Just give them cash?

You can buy those Google Play, Steam, whatever gift cards.

>>106556409
Then enable parent control on these devices.

>>106553801 (OP)
back in my day they didn't even bother to advertise the rates

>>106556364
That's a woman

>>106553801 (OP)
Condoms. Don't give your children media unless you're willing to actually control and engage with that media yourself, otherwise you may as well just leave them in a seedy back alley.
>>106555880
F2P games only exist because of people who are financially illiterate or otherwise vulnerable.
Their entire design ethos is based around psychological exploitation to eke out profits from the small part of the audience that actually makes it worthwhile. The design is a slightly higher budget variant of spam emails or calls.
Does there really need to be a dissection of freemium slop for every new generation?

>>106553801 (OP)
make parents give a fuck about their children again?

Roblox games didn't have this shit 10 years ago, what the fuck happened?

what do you plan on achieving givings condoms do children?

>>106558533
Give them something better to do than video games. Children can't gamble their pocket money on video games if they aren't playing them.

Gachas and casinos are even worse. You cant ever know the real odds

1. it's not reblocks' responsibility to parent your child.
2. the probabilities are probably based on buying 10 at once or something like that

>>106556319
As long as the internet doesn't require ID to access. Otherwise, you can kiss political dissent goodbye with anonymity.

>>106554705
it's not the government's job to raise your kids. you would have to be fucking retarded to think this is a reasonable use of the government's time, money, and power.

>>106558509
Roblox became a public company in 2021. In other words, shareholders.

>technology to solve technology
Maybe the solution isn't more technology.

Unironically ban kids from the internet besides for school purposes.

Why is the chance calculation performed client side? Or is that just a UI element

>>106556319
>and that's a good thing
I would agree except you'll end up with >=18 yr olds that don't understand basic online etiquette, without the years of harsh lessons existing before. The entitled nature of younger generations has come from the sheltered, moderated services they use. I blame services for catering to them, rather than leave it to users to inform (or just kick) idiotic newcomers. Of course, I'm using mid 2000s BBS/forum logic, not Discord groomer logic.

Don't go for the retarded general population, go for the people making the profit
Every app with internet access gets immediate 18+ rating unless there is an offline switch or some restricted kid mode
Every device capable of connecting to the internet gets a cigarette-like warning that it's bad for minors to use unsupervised
App stores must ask for permission of an admin device to spend money. So the family can set up an admin device or two that must manually verify every purchase on other devices.
Maybe some apps could also use the admin device to unlock features deemed undesirable.
We could have all that without internet ID for everyone. But politicians are in the pockets and sights of the people making the profit and recording the wiretapping.

>>106553801 (OP)
How is this even possible? You need a credit or debit card to pay online and only adults have those. This sounds like a made-up fake problem.

>>106564527
Gift cards

dying nations accumulate laws like dying men accumulate illness. it isn't the duty of the state to nanny your child you fucking dog shit parent, do it yourself.

>>106565244
You don't sell alcohol and tabacco to children. Does that mean the state is trying to nanny your children or is this just basic law to prevent most obvious cases of neglect?
A parent giving alcohol to her child is not very different than a parent giving her child unrestricted access to the internet.

>>106553801 (OP)
Being a present parent instead of letting technology and big corporations raise your children.

>>106566250
too lazy

>>106553801 (OP)
Government should spy on every individual to protect those poor children.

>>106566250
good luck with that in the present day
they are surrounded by technology and a smartphone is basically mandatory
nothing short of locking them up in your homemade bunker will stop them from interacting with technology

For me it was getting 999 coins casino zone and completing the level without getting hit.
