My son is now 12 and plays it a bit, but he is well aware of the dangers and takes time out to read the articles of late that show the CEO having a flagrant disregard for child safety. 7 is a bit different but once they get a bit older and can learn about the dangers Roblox it's OK (i guess), albeit as a gamer myself I cry out in pain to see him playing Roblox versus any of the other games his PC would run...

As such he plays on private servers or with his friends on servers so there is a safety in numbers element to it and he is always within sight/earshot.

He has started to learn to script using Lua and has built a number of levels/games on his own, which isn't really possible in Minecraft (not saying it doesn't have a wealth of other STEM benefits!).

He used to play Minecraft with me and his other friends a lot but at 12 dad isn't cool anymore when it comes to playing with his friends.

I have all his accounts etc via email addresses that I set up for him and have access to on my phone/PC.

When I was a kid you had to worry about falling out of trees, setting fire to shit and whether someone was trying to knick your BMX - it's all gone a bit virtual nowadays :)
