Roblox Can’t Seem To Keep Anyone Happy Right Now
Roblox has a tricky tightrope to walk between making its online sandbox safe and keeping it fun. On one side, players rail against changes locking off social settings and requiring privacy-threatening age checks, and on the other side Roblox is beset by lawmakers claiming the platform isn't doing enough. It's a balancing act, but at the moment Roblox doesn't seem to be pleasing anyone. Roblox has long faced controversy fuelled by its young-skewing player base, from accusations of child labor exploitation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-boss-talks-teens-making-money-on-the-game-disputes-exploitation-claims/1100-6522420/) to a bombshell Bloomberg report(https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2024-roblox-pedophile-problem/) that alleged Roblox had become a hotbed for child predators. The company has faced legal action from many states across the US and internationally, including from LA(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/la-sues-roblox-over-unsafe-online-environment-for-kids-marking-yet-another-roblox-lawsuit/1100-6538323/), Australia(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/australian-government-puts-roblox-on-notice-over-reports-of-grooming-and-sexual-content/1100-6538053/), Texas(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/texas-sues-roblox-over-child-exploitation-and-grooming-concerns/1100-6536037/), Louisiana(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-lawsuit-louisiana-statement-children-safety/1100-6534061/), California(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-is-not-doing-enough-to-protect-kids-lawmaker-says/1100-6533929/), and more. The company's responses to such accusations haven't always made for great PR, from CEO David Baszucki's notoriously poor handling(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-ceo-responds-to-child-predator-concerns-poorly/1100-6536445/) of a New York Times interview to studio head Stefano Corazza saying Roblox was doing a good thing(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-boss-talks-teens-making-money-on-the-game-disputes-exploitation-claims/1100-6522420/) by allowing 15-year-olds to work. While defensiveness has often been the company's go-to response to accusations around safety, the mounting pressure has now seen Roblox pull the trigger on a number of sweeping platform changes.

Preorders are now live for Lee Cronin's The Mummy, and you can choose from 4K steelbook(https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Cronins-Mummy-Limited-Steelbook/dp/B0GSH3KW2N?tag=gamespot-preorders-20), standard 4K(https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Cronins-Mummy-Ultra-Digital/dp/B0GSH3Q1CD?tag=gamespot-preorders-20), Blu-ray(https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Cronins-Mummy-Blu-ray-Digital/dp/B0GSH8QRQ3?tag=gamespot-preorders-20), and DVD(https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Cronins-Mummy-DVD-Cronin/dp/B0GSH98L78?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) editions ahead of its release later this year. The Blu-ray launch date isn't locked in yet, but we have seen the cover for one edition, the spooky steelbook that reminds you some things should stay buried.

Here’s Why Fans Think FF7’s Tifa Is Coming To Street Fighter 6
Last week, a new trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/street-fighter-movies-new-trailer-knows-exactly-how-ridiculous-it-is-and-runs-with-it/1100-6539437/) celebrated the Capcom franchise's return to the live-action limelight for the first time in over 15 years. This week, it's the current game, Street Fighter 6, and rumors of its next batch of DLC fighters that has fans riled up--rumors which include Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart, which would make her Street Fighter's first-ever guest character from a non-fighting franchise. Per WCCFTech(https://wccftech.com/street-fighter-6-year-4-leak-tifa-lockheart/), a post on the Street Fighter subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/1rnblm0/comment/o97cypr/?context=3) surfaced that highlights series veteran Vega, also known as Balrog or "Claw," as a potential inclusion in SF6's Year 4 Character Pass. The post features a comment by user RnKClan not only listing Vega, but also naming Gouken, Mike Haggar from Final Fight, and Tifa as the other three characters. RnKClan speaking to the Year 4 Pass lineup is notable, as they previously correctly predicted Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui appearing in 2024's Year 2 Pass. No other details about the rumored batch of DLC was shared by RnKClan, and an attempt for comment from Capcom has gone unanswered as of this writing.

MindsEye Devs Demand Answers Regarding Corporate Surveillance Issue
More trouble is brewing at MindsEye(https://www.gamespot.com/games/mindseye/) developer Build A Rocket Boy (BARB), but it has nothing to do with the studio's debut title. A group of employees led by the IWGB Game Workers Union have initiated legal action in response to Build A Rocket Boy leadership's decision to install surveillance software(https://insider-gaming.com/mindseye-ceo-alleges-1-million-sabotaging-its-game/) on employees' devices without their knowledge. According to the workers' union, after 40 employees filed a grievance demanding the removal of the software (called Teramind), it was removed from employee devices in March. But now, those workers want to know exactly how much data was collected without their consent--and what was done with it. "Build A Rocket Boy failed to meet the aggrieved workers' other demands for transparency and accountability, refusing to explain what data was collected, how it was used, and why the software was installed in the first place," reads a press release from the IWGB Game Workers Union. "Now, IWGB members are escalating the matter through ACAS(https://www.acas.org.uk/) and the Information Commissioner's Office." Build A Rocket Boy was founded by former Rockstar boss Leslie Benzies in 2016, with former Jagex(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/after-killing-off-microtransactions-runescape-raises-subscription-prices/1100-6538703/) CEO Mark Gerhard becoming co-CEO in 2024. The studio's debut release, the very clearly GTA-inspired MindsEye, quickly became one of the worst-reviewed games(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/mindseye-review/1900-6418374/) of 2025. The game's difficult launch was followed by claims of employees being subjected to excessive crunch time(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mindseye-dev-working-around-the-clock-to-fix-the-games-many-issues/1100-6532343/) in an attempt to fix the game's many issues(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mindseye-developer-commits-to-troubled-game-lays-out-roadmap-for-fixes/1100-6533452/), followed by layoffs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mindseye-studio-is-laying-off-developers-following-poor-launch-reception-report/1100-6532630/) that employees say weren't handled properly.
