In the linked page, point 2 literally says this:

Publish to 16+ and Trusted Friends - To publish a game that reaches Trusted Friends and users over 16 you must:

a. Complete an age check b. Have an account in good standing c. Have an account on Roblox that’s been on the platform for at least 2 days



Yeah. Can you point out where what you said and what I said differ?

The paid subscription is for publishing to <16 users globally.


You said

> For friends, they need to do an age estimation only.

Thats not true. It says to share with trusted friends and 16+ they need an account in good standing (paid) and an age check, which constitues sending a face scan or id.

I literally pasted the rule directly from their site, Im surprised you dont understand it.


"Good standing" means your account wasn't moderated for violating the community standards [1] (exploiting, saying bad words, threatening users, uploading illicit content, etc).

I'm dev games on Roblox. Trust me, you're the one confused here.

You are still ignoring the fact that they have to provide a face scan to publish to trusted friends now.

Also that kids < 16 might be the ones who want to share games to thir friends who are < 16. They still need to pay a subscription and submit face scans to do that now which they didnt before. Thats the whole issue here.


> You are still ignoring the fact that they have to provide a face scan to publish to trusted friends now.

Nope. First thing I said was "For friends, they need to do an age estimation only."
