Roblox adds 'Content May Vary' and '16+' maturity ratings; games can skip full questionnaire
Roblox renames content maturity 'labels' to 'ratings' and adds two tiers: 'Content May Vary' and '16+ Content'. Creators who have no age-restricted content can publish to age-checked 16+ users by answering only the first questionnaire question. Games with free-form user creation are now limited to age-checked users 16+. Social hangouts without private spaces move from the 18+ Restricted tier to the 16+ tier, which is a loosening. Inaccurate maturity information now exposes a game and account to moderation without the old 'repeatedly' qualifier.
