After years of controversy surrounding children and their safety on Roblox – a virtual gaming platform that might just stand as the biggest in the world now – developers are finally adding a solid age verification system of sorts, although it's not without its flaws.
News of the age checks coming to Roblox arrives in the form of an online update from chief safety officer Matt Kaufman and product vice president Rajiv Bhatia.
