As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He’s 10, so please don’t recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)

He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.

Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn’t just a punishment.

Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge

    The next step is becoming a better parent. That’s a shit move and you can’t stop your kid from playing it behind your back. You simply taught them to find and learn new ways to gaslight and evade you in order to keep playing with their friends.

    I guarantee your parents did the same shit to you, and you perpetuate that toxicity.

      You sound like exactly the kind of kid who needed his Xbox taken away.

      Gaslighting, toxicity, oh come on. I’m supposed to expect my kid to lie to me?

      Just giving my kids into the embrace of peer pressure isn’t love, it’s evading confrontation. Give them a place of trust and understanding, with clear rules they can understand and follow. If my kids are getting their way bending and evading the rules we set, then it’s way too late.

      We often say yes, but sometimes we have to say no, and our kids are fine with that.

      You’re a shit parent if you let your kid play Roblox.

      A point could be made about a video game that isn’t actively preying on kids, but Roblox ain’t it.
