Plaintiffs allege Roblox Corporation knowingly designed features that encourage addiction in minors and failed to provide adequate warnings to parents.
Who is eligible?
Minors who played Roblox excessively, developed addiction-like behaviors, or made significant in-game purchases may qualify, especially if linked to mental health or financial harm.
