I guess that makes sense given the type of adults that prowl on Roblox.

Please don’t let your kids on this platform…

Don't get too excited, this still goes against the basic freedom to own the devices you've paid for.

Remote attestation is still there and only official builds of GrapheneOS are supported. While this is marginally better than being tied to a build from an advertising company, you're still out of luck if you want to build the OS yourself.

Great news! I never had problems running Roblox on my GOS, but it's nice to to see the explicit, official support.

Snowball effect (for both sides, software publishers and OS vendors).

That is the first time I see something like that!

Seems ridiculous, but when their biggest rival can’t be bothered to support Linux… you see why they might announce something like this.

Makes sense for them to support this given their scale. I wouldn't be surprised if GrapheneOS secures another big Android OEM vendor (after Motorola Mobility) and the user base of the OS quickly grows from its current 400k+ to millions.

This is a really interesting signal tbh.

While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.
