As I said in the title, Roblox just announced the age recommendations update today. How it works is the developer of the game can choose if the game is All Ages, 9+, or 13+. Here is the section of the ToS that explains it:
The questionnaire that developers fill out for the age recommendation to be decided doesn’t ask about themes, just about blood, violence, and paid random items. Though I think it should also ask about how scary the game is and the themes in the game.
it’s mostly to limit the violence behind blood, cause you don’t bleed for any good reason and nobody wants their kids to associate blood with fun and what not.
it’s also the fact some ppl are very squeamish as well
yeah even as a kid i was never sensitive to blood in games, i already knew what it was so i felt there was no reason to shelter kids from seeing it, i always thought itd make more sense to rate games based on violence and not blood
Alcohol in a game like AO could be fine in certain contexts, like if an island had a restaurant and some of the NPC customers had wine it would be fine.
