In an interview with Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza at GDC in late March, where a new suite of AI-powered creation tools was demoed, I asked about the reputation Roblox hac gained and the notion that it was exploitative of young developers, since it takes a cut from work sometimes produced by children.
“I don’t know, you can say this for a lot of things, right?” Corazza said. "Like, you can say, ‘Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,’ right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income. So, I can be like 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now, with just a laptop, I can create something, make money and then sustain my life.
Ah yes, the gift of child labor. Is there anything more precious? 🎁
Child labor is child labor. It doesn’t matter what “skills” the kids are learning.
What a giant douchebag
that’s what my boss says when I fund their monthly vacations instead of giving me a raise
He misspelled “grift”
Tar and feathers is also a gift then.
