wow i wish I was exploited as a child when making fun things in games too! i remember making maps in wc3 in elementary school and not getting any money at all for all those hours making fun things.
Wait, I don’t see the downside… I would have loved to be paid for making videogame mods as a kid. It’s not like the kids are being paid any less than adults using the same tools. Exploiting is when you are taking advantage of kids not knowing better yet. There is no exploiting here. There is just kids making money doing something they would do for free. And making the same money anyone else would make.
If you think about it, not being allowed to pay kids would be exploiting them. Or if the kids just weren’t allowed to create their own content…

Dont downvote this guy, he probably just doesn’t understand or know about the horrible shit that roblox are hiding.
Just a happy coincidence it nets his company a bunch of money in the process, I guess
That’s the gift. He wasn’t saying it was a gift to the kids.
You cannot wield it. None of us can. Roblox studio answers to Roblox alone. It has no other master.
