I think the problem with roblox goes far beyond the individual freedom to access a program.
What we both say isn’t mutually exclusive. But I do think that gaming Linux communities could take a stand on the kind of gaming world we want and the kind we don’t want…
Looking at the downvotes I get here and setting aside people who don’t like/understand irony, I feel either there are a bunch of roblox-fan (I sincerely hope it’s not it) or there are people like you who took the individual freedom to use a computer and apply it with crushing dogmatism (but without taking the time to expend on it like you did). But do gnu/Linux communities have to be chain to this ? I’m not sure. When twitter was shit, do we just said ‘never mind it runs on Linux, we’re free.’ ? Or reddit or Facebook ? No we discouraged actively to use those platforms and we build alternative that are better for people. Here what do we have ? A gaming platform with predatory practices toward children and we give it access to our computer without even the game studio had to lift a finger for it. A new (and small yes, but still) market of users for what you called yourself a ‘asshole game studio’.
Thanks for your reply :)
