Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

When you’re targeting kids, your graphics should be easy to understand. Bright colors, simple shapes, it’s enough. If you think about it, those graphics wouldn’t be too different from what a kid can usually draw.

The other big thing is it lowers the barrier to entry of making games.
