The article seems to mostly parrot the two videos. They're worth watching, but remember to have a hard think about whether the authors may be over-reacting at points.

My opinion about what I remember: Completely agree regarding the gambling accusations and terrible exchange rates (definitely a platform issue). The "game studio"/abuse claims seem a little cherry picked and fear-mongering, however (I used to be in a Minecraft community in which some strange things happened. Does it have anything to do with Mojang?).

Thanks, I came here to post this.

It does seem like the Roblox ecosystem is currently designed to encourage and capitalize on bad decisions by minors.

It's too bad, I like the idea of an open world that people can develop and extend.
