Roblox is one of the most popular children’s games in the world, with the company telling Bloomberg back in 2020, that two-thirds of all US children between the ages of nine and 12 playing games on the platform.

Condos are spaces generated by users where people can talk about sex. Their virtual avatars can even get together and do the deed. Such games tend to throw out all of the rules set by Roblox out of the window, with players roaming around naked/in bondage outfits, performing strip dances, openly having sex, commenting on the sex techniques and more.
