RAM shortages will affect Steam products. A site hosting Notepad++ was compromised causing the update process to install a backdoor in some installations. RAM prices have gone up. GPU prices have gone up. Raw materials prices have gone up (gold, silver, copper, tin) which will have a knock on effect.

I can’t remember if there was anything else but basically no good news.

It sounds like you are saying making this change will help good parents be good parents be good parents while bad parents will still be bad parents. I agree.

Your argument about not being responsible for the content your platform hosts is old. If a platform can’t moderate the content it hosts, don’t host it. Most people would even be happy with a reasonable attempt at moderation. I’m not one of those people, I don’t believe companies should profit from an unsafe product, which the prevents safe products from gaining traction as they are more expensive to run.

If you allow user generated content in your game, you should be responsible for it.

As for changing the rating not achieving anything, you’re wrong again. I imagine there are a lot of adults with kids who are unaware of the chat elements of Roblox and how it exposed their children to sex offenders. Changing the rating would likely cause some people to pause for thought when seeing it. It would probably limit it’s visibility on some store front. Possibly be removed from others. And if nothing else, I imagine the news cycle around having its rating changed would reach a lot of people who wouldn’t usually be aware of this.
