Roblox Just Got CALLED OUT... 

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should Roblox limit roleplay games to Ages 13+?

As an ex-Roblox player I can definitely understand where these parents are coming from. Roblox was a fun platform where these types of games didn't exist yet. The scariest game at the time was *Escape Jeff The Killer* or *Escape Area 51* and that was about it. Now kids can play games that can cause a trauma and will make them scared of anything which isn't supposed to happen on a kid-friendly game such as roblox. Age restriction was also available at that time so if you compare the Roblox from then with the Roblox from now you'll clearly see a significant decrease of child protection + more games and toxic people that can injure a child's mental health. Roblox should really step up their game.

One thing I love about kreek is that he doesn't just immediately call out the parent for being a boomer but also tries to understand the parents' point of views as well

This is not Roblox’s fault. Parents need to check in on their kid’s devices and their recently played. If it has inappropriate content, punish them. Just be a decent parent. That’s all you need to do.

I think they should add a special feature to the account settings where parents can manually block games.

Kreek gets the point. Roblox is a platform with millions of games, making it almost impossible to moderate every single thing. Most of the time with the games, it's usually the players who are making it inappropriate. Such as online dating, etc. The parents seem to not get the point. If they see that their children are experiencing something inappropriate, they shouldn't be calling out to everyone and roblox like that. If they see a particular game "harming" their children in offensive ways, they should just tell their children to stay away from it. Maybe tell them why, but if they don't listen, their child is the one who is not listening, not the whole platform. Honestly, parents are just trying to help their children out, and may misunderstand some parts. These games also can't do much about this problem, considering it's usually the players. Roblox also can't rate all the games, if you think about how the platform has millions to billions of games, and many players. The developers also can't do much, except fixing glitches and bugs and moderating the games. The players got to understand what is happening around them, and how they may affect others by doing these inappropriate actions. If roblox wants to step in to help, they can inform the developers to moderate their games, or add in more settings. Roblox has a moderation team, but most likely not enough to moderate the whole platform. This is probably where their bad moderation comes out. I can agree with that, as there are many inappropriate things happening in roblox games. Basically, please understand what is going around you, and think before acting in a way that may affect others. But yeah. Huge respect to Kreek for helping out in the conflict.

I think roleplay games should have a special roleplay tag, and if a setting is changed to block games with the roleplay tag those games can no longer be played. This way if a parent sees inapropriate scinarios coming up on their child's screen, they are simply able to block roleplay games and never worry about it.

i’ve always loved kreekcraft because of his pure honesty. he’s not afraid to make videos criticizing roblox, or developers, but he doesn’t do it in a way that makes you think “wow, this guy really hates roblox/ roblox devs”

Roblox getting called out so much!

As a developer, I was not able to give my game an age rating due to being retired, so my game was left as N/A. Recently, it was automatically given an All Ages rating. Even though my game does meet the All Ages category, i suspect there are other games out there that have not been rated, and was given an automatic All Ages rating.

I think roblox should add a feature to block certain types of games. For example: Roleplay games, shooter games, violent games. Although the ratings are there, this still happens. A developer can set multiple types to say what the game is like. Players can report a game if it doesn't have the right tag so roblox can put it to it's correct category. Then, parents can block games such as these. Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS! Anyways thx for 70 likes I didn't expect this comment to be popular! Also ty kreek for hearting.

Imagine if she joined one of Alberts admin videos

8:45 bro i thought you were gonna say you could do that irl 💀

If roblox sets a higher age limit, some role play games would definitely be going down. Roblox should probably make a tag for "Roleplay games" in the age restrictions, and let parents decide if they can turn if off or leave it on.

I have to say, role-playing games are normally inappropriate, yet some have models which make it hard to make the game inappropriate. But I have to say, it depends. Developers should be looking out for inappropriate actions. I will say I would want players visiting my game, but rating it all ages when there's inappropriate actions involved. I never really noticed this until I watched this video. Thank you for explaining it!

Having an 18+moment in a roblox public bathroom? Girl, you didnt see fortnite lobbies

they blame the wrong person those games not 18+ or anything like that its just the players who turns games into horrible things as a 5 year roblox player i can confirm that roblox has nothing to do with those stuffs it all comes from terrible persons who pretend to be a kid but turns out to be a grown man

they should just make it mandatory to add an email to your account instead of just giving you like access to commenting on items, and liking games, also giving you a free hat. that way they could make it so that the email gets daily reports of every game your child has joined, along with every single chat message they have sent. Also they should have a thing where when you make your account you choose types of games that you arent allowed to access, such as fps games, rp games, or others

I can't enter a game without something inappropriate in the chat, or some kind of user interaction. I think roleplay games should be set to 13+. People put Roblox down for all of this inappropriate stuff, when it's really the players and the community, the very people who are complaining. I miss the old Roblox...

think about this scenario: you are a principal that walks into a teacher's classroom. you see students misbehaving but the teacher doesn't notice it. later, you blame the teacher for the students misbehaving and the teacher is fired from their job. would it make more sense to punish the kids, or was it right to punish the teacher because they weren't fully doing their job? if you havent already figured it out, the teacher represents roblox moderation, the principal represents a parent, and the students represent bad influences on roblox. i feel like the kids should be punished because they were misbehaving, but the teacher should also get some punishment for not catching them. but its a very tricky and opinionated situation. and its even more complicated in roblox, where you cant directly punish kids that are misbehaving on roblox because of its non-working report and moderation systems. what do you think is right? leave a reply, i'll read it :)

the thing that is wrong is that she lets her 5 year old kid play video games like roblox has got more things to do than moderate literally everything on the platform. it's also the parents' job to protect their kids

Respect to kreek for still mentioning jailbreak to this day. Shows that he has a respect for the game and still hasn't left it in the dark since 2017 (when he started).

6:28 | *_lmfao_*

Kids under 9 shouldn't even be allowed to play Roblox. They should play with toys not phones.

Roblox is in danger from the foreign forces of the Parents Army. Edit: everyone is saying that I am first but I do not care nor did I asked.

I love how Kreek just completely switched sides from the whole star program incident earlier 😂

kreeks got serious balls to support these parents and give them advice instead of straight up attacking them

In my personal opinion I think what Roblox should do is Make a separate rating just say for example called “Roleplay” and make it so all ages can play but maybe a little pop up would come up telling you that the online interactions that happend in the game are not age rated

roblox should let parents block certain genres on the parental control settings so that your kids arent actually seeing this innapropriate behavior very often

This guy should just be CEO of Roblox at this point

Hey kreek, I can confirm that most of the information here is accurate, however I did want to let you know as a developer that the age ratings work a bit differently than you explained it. Now essentially, yes, developers do set their own age rating, but they don't just select All ages, 9+, or 13+, instead they have to go through a questionnaire that has specific questions about violence, in game purchases etc. Once the survey is finished, based on your answers they give your game an age rating. However, in essence the developer does select the age rating, because they can retake the survey at any time and potentially could lie about what is in their games.

Since the age recommendation policy comes through and Roblox forces developers to act upon it or else their games won't be recommended and push through the algorithm, there has been a Report Abuse feature for misleading/false age ratings on games that Roblox will manually review and check to see if it violates their Questionaire terms or not.

9:15 no way bloxburg has online daters 💀 It’s a game most likely for preppys and aesthetic girls (no hate I like the game) but I have never seen an online dater

9:26 let me be honest here kreek, most of the players are in build mode while there are updates of new stuff and most roleplays are a family without a dad- 😅

yall must have had a real fun childhood if you couldn't even play games with blood at 10 😭

honestly if she wanted to encourage parents to delete roblox, she should of posted it on facebook. A lot of parents are on there daily. If she did, i would say goodbye to my account

0:45 Roblox players really be making games from the most random stuff ever, these are some of the prime examples🤣

As a Kreekcraft watcher, I can confirm that all information is valid.

I think roleplayers games should be at least a 9+, with a warning about possible inappropriate actions, because like Meepcity and Bloxburg the game itself isn't bad, but the audience should also be mature enough to know when something is inappropriate if it happens.

I love how Kreek makes these videos apropriate for kids!

8:10 "kids game" oders and *** roleplayers using parties: you forgot about me?

Honestly, this kind of stuff will happen no matter what Roblox does, when you are on the internet bad stuff occurs you cannot COMPLETELY censor it all, just doesn't work like that sadly. Not much Roblox can do to make it fair for both parties here.

"it's unacceptable the way Roblox is not parenting my kid for me" just sums up this whole situation in my mind

6:19 *me who saw baller*

Tbh, if you have parental restrictions on, the parents should be able to blacklist games by going on their kids accounts via prob email

I am actually 50/50 about this. Yes, some games may be inappropriate for kids but it's usually the playerbase that's the problem. And also, the one about games being set as all ages even though it's not supposed to be is actually true. I just checked and saw Judy set to all ages [I'm 15 but that game gave me nightmares for a few days. Which is saying something since I'm usually calm when I'm in a dark mall] and Flicker is set to all ages, which I remember there are very... Graphic death scenes there

Growing up mostly playing roblox since i was about 5, Seeing parents go "oh this isn't child friendly" is so unbelievably hilarious.

Let’s get him to 10m+ he deserves it! He works really hard!!!

They should probably add a option to block all roleplay games in the settings like a extra age rating devs need to turn on if they have a roleplay game. (You need to activate it in the settings manually.

“I have witnessed attempted murder” 1:15

I found the girl who was doing * inappropriate dances * to the mother on Roblox and they seem to be a flamingo fan, she has a deformed werewolf emo avatar and has gotten a badge in Ohio (the Roblox game) The other candidate is someone who was the same name, one of those bread avatars with a top hat that covers the head and tiny stick arms off of the French fry avatar. They are a small Roblox game developer. And then there’s just other noobs who have the same display name. I think we know who the culprit is here.

Roblox actually kinda does set those ratings As a roblox developer (kind of) you have a questionnaire and to get those ratings you have to take the questionnaire. It will ask questions like, is there blood in this game, is there trading in this game, etc. After you take that questionnaire you have the rating Yeah i spent 30 minutes typing this all out 😅

Honestly I think for the parental options, because this is the main problem with this that there isn’t an option to disable role play games, I think it could be good to make a separate rating which is roleplay, and make an option to disable roleplay rated games in the parental control settings

I had Parental guidance enabled once, and I was able to play adopt me, after a few months, I had amazing pets, a few moths later, adopt me was restricted for me, so to answer your statement of “I don’t think adopt me was restricted” it was for me when I had parental guidance enabled.

*Kreekcraft explaining * Me:Not understanding a single word😃

I fell so bad for those kids that got there accounts deleted by their parents

7:13 WAIT WHAT

Well who would let a 5 year old play roblox?

I really think roblox might get sued one day, because there are too many parents complaining about this, so i think Roblox has to step up and make all roleplay games for 13+.

7:03 it indeed is

A wise man once said, “Blame the player, not the game”

Truly it's hard to come up with a solution for this but hopefully it will work out

this is why roblox is cursed sometimes but you have to deal with it

6:00 ayo?

Maybe Roblox should start giving warnings out to these people and put role play games at 9+

Kreek I'm definitely in between because I do see both perspectives but I am older myself so I see why some parents are concerned about it. Maybe it would be better if they could find an in between solution that way it suits both sides and not just one. That's just how I feel about it Kreek great video overall was informative to your audience. Love the content.

In my opinion, I think they should Add a reminder on RP games saying for example: Online interactions with this game may not be suitable for younger audiences

this man hit 6m not to long ago and is almost halfway to 7m keep up great work no doubt u will hit 10m this year

logically speaking i think the best approach is to make some sort of manually done list and add it as the HIGHEST parental control setting for games, that way parents can use it if they're *really* concerned about the games

Let's get him to 7M! He deserves it!

If roblox sets bloxburg to 13+ then half of it's players are gonna lose 25+ robux (money, gamepasses etc)

The process to choose a rating for a game from the developer portal is quite easy and isn't really secure. Just a very short 4 questions then it will choose rating. I don't think roleplay games should be marked 13+ As you said younger audiences on those games. However if roblox showed that they read and do actions with their reports then I think that would encourage some people to hold back on what they do. As of right now roblox doesn't really do much with the reports unless it's an extreme case.

In my opinion, I think it would be better to make private servers free for those under the age of 9 or something?? I mean I know the inappropriate things other players do in rp games but honestly just making special private servers where kids can play privately with their friends could be a solution?

i clicked faster then my grandma can see and move

There is one kid friendly game on Roblox called Berry Avenue. But the kids are recommended to join on a private server.

I think something that also caused old roblox to be more appropriate is because back then, there were no (or very limited amounts) of teens that had genuine experience with roblox. Back then it was just only kids and adults. Now the children that used to play have gotten older and instead of just playing games as they should, they look for other ways of amusement in said games, because they have repeated the process of playing them normally enough times. This is just my theory though, i could be completely wrong lol

Roblox is going to have to expand the Age Recommendations to include additional content such as roleplaying, dancing, avatar customization, etc. and have the system measure the age recommendations based on that. I don't think blood and gore is enough to keep children from playing inappropriate games anymore. It seems Roblox is going to have tp upgrade their Age Recommendations questionnaire to include other forms of content.

9:53 No

It's not even roblox's fault for not moderating a millions of games within Roblox.

Very informative and good video. Keep the good content up.

I love ur videos!❤

Who is in 2024

There should be a thing like if roblox detects something 13+ in a game it gets automatically rated as 13+ until the developer proves wrong

KreekCraft I love your videos thanks for making all ur videos entertaining ❤

a platform where you can make any game and set your own rating there will 100% be some slip ups and roblox being as popular as it is there will be a decent amount not only that as you said players can cause a game that is for kids to be a bit of a madness lol

in my opinion roleplay games on roblox should always have a warning right when you join and in the description saying the players in the game are not connected to the rating (basically saying players dont really have to follow the rating system and the tos) and the games should be labeled as 9+ atleast so kids know what they could possibly be getting into, the kids should also have an adult check out the game before the kids play it just in case.

No I do not think they should put roleplay games to 13+. One way they can prevent this from happening is to take out every Inappropriate shirt, pants and anything else.

8:52 ayo kreek?

roblox keeps just getting worseand worse (i liked my own comment haha)

kreek craft got so annoyed at 4:51

As a Roblox developer making a roblox game its 13+ the only reason i would not put it on all ages is because most kids would skip through everything thats on the warning screen and they wont know that they could turn off blood flashing lights etc. As im not 13 but this roblox game will take alot of time i will be 13 or older before the game is done and i understand that most roblox developers dont care about there players but because i care about not scarring kids for life because of one game i am not changing the rating Thank you for reading.

Good video Kreek! I think more people would need to watch this! 😀

9:31 Yes!

Let’s Get Him To 7M He Derverses It🎉

“Skull emoji, crying face emoji” got me💀

Let’s get him to 7mil he deserved it

I love your content i watch all your videos!!

"Mostly younger play roleplay games" Kid in RP game: *He survived by 100 bullets in his head* Yeah, fr, most of teenager Roleplayers is actually good at roleplays than kids tbh-

Mum got so mad to loose money she spent 6 hours looking for a good roblox rant. Honestly, i see the problem, but that is just a sign to not let your child play roblox.

Don't hate the game, hate the players.
