Roblox Boss: We Aren't Exploiting Child Labor, We're Giving Kids In ‘The Slum’ A Job

The popular online game has been criticized in the past for exploiting child labor and its young audience

Roblox is one of the biggest games in the world, letting people create and play their own custom creations and share them with others. Roblox has also been at the center of controversy, as some believe the game exploits child labor and doesn’t do enough to protect them. When recently asked about this, Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza suggested that, actually, the game is a “gift” for “15 year olds, in Indonesia, living in a slum.

” Seemingly realizing that what he just said didn’t sound great and sounded a lot like he was excusing child labor by suggesting it had some benefits, Corazza then pivoted and explained that this is just a result of Roblox going “broad” and having a “younger audience” before pivoting again mid-comment to point out that the average game dev on Roblox is in their 20s.
