Roblox<\/a> has updated its Kids and Select policy. Developers can no longer pair a media feed with auto-play or infinite scroll<\/strong> and then hand out rewards for watching. For younger players, that closes off a setup where a video stream can keep going without any real stopping point, something Roblox says isn’t appropriate for kids.<\/p>\n

Put more plainly, younger users can’t be given in-game rewards for sitting through endless video viewing<\/strong> with no natural break. That’s the part Roblox is drawing a line around.<\/p>\n\n

The change came after the backlash over Steal an Egg, a popular pet simulator where players could build speed by standing on a treadmill while a video feed ran beside them. Roblox pulled Steal an Egg, then moved fast to turn that criticism into a broader policy rule<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

This doesn’t ban endless scrolling<\/strong> across the whole platform, and it doesn’t apply to rewarded video ads.<\/p>\n\n

If child safety on Roblox matters to you, this looks like a reasonable move. The company is already under pressure from U.S. senators, exploitation reports, lawsuits, and regulators, including officials in Australia<\/strong>. Critics have also argued that user-made hits are hard to control, even with age checks, chat restrictions, automated moderation, and rules that block adult-child messaging.<\/p>\n\n

What still isn’t clear is how Roblox will enforce this, how quickly content will be removed, where the edge cases<\/strong> land, or what to make of the still-limited research on long-term effects. Still, one thing has changed: kids’ games in youth-focused spaces can no longer turn endless video watching into a gameplay advantage.<\/p>\n
