The Roblox platform currently boasts an astonishing 66 million users globally, and part of the appeal is the tantalising prospect of those users creating a game, monetizing it, and publishing it for other players to enjoy, all of it in-app. But with more than 3 million «Roblox developers» already, many of them seemingly younger, accusations of child exploitation have been brewing for some time.

Roblox is an absolutely massive game, and chances are you know what it is even if you've never picked up a controller in your life.
