Korea gamers\' association criticises Roblox for not disclosing odds information, calls for system reform

The Korea Gamers Association on Thursday urged government authorities to act and to improve ratings classification rules over allegations that metaverse platform Roblox conceals probability-based item information and distributes content that could distort history. The association said Roblox operates millions of user-generated content games while being rated as a single game, effectively sidestepping disclosure obligations. It also raised concerns about a lack of qualitative controls and called for clearer classification standards across metaverse platforms.
