Russia wants to ban the game Roblox — fearing diversions at the nuclear power plant.


A scandal may arise in Russia regarding the popular children's game Roblox due to one unpleasant detail – it contains a mission reminiscent of events at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Why Russia is concerned about the game Roblox
The ban on this game can be explained not only by moral aspects but also by fears that it may encourage children to engage in dangerous actions.
“Such scenes may contribute to the formation of destructive behavior in children, as they learn to do things during gaming that are unacceptable in reality. In the virtual world, children may feel that all this is fun and safe,” noted the Children’s Rights Commissioner of the Republic of Tatarstan, Irina Volinets.
The children's defender believes that a strict ban on such episodes in games will protect the younger ones from negative influences.
Recently, a quest room dedicated to the series “Squid Game” opened in London, where players can immerse themselves in the world of the popular show without any violent or lethal situations.
The prohibition of the game Roblox in Russia may be a reaction to the authorities’ concerns about the influence on children’s psyche and their safety in the gaming space. The opening of a new quest room in London indicates a search for alternative, safe, and interesting forms of entertainment for children and teenagers.
