I’m making a WW2 game, and I’m trying to make one on the Battle of Leningrad, and then another game on the battle of Stalingrad.
Would this get me banned off of Roblox if the battle isn’t allowed on Roblox? If I included the symbol, would it get me banned?
Im pretty sure games like this exist on roblox, but im not 100% sure it’s actually allowed or not
The actual battle wouldn’t seem like a bannable reason. However, the symbols maybe. But dont take my word for it im not sure about it.
Stalingrad and Leningrad took place wayyyyyy back in 1941 and 1943 or so, more than 8 decades ago. Roblox actually allows depicting real-life war/conflict games but the catch is that the war or conflict-in-question must take place in 10 years prior to the current time, which means the most recent and latest you can go is around 2014 as of now; around the time of the Donetsk conflict.
If you go later than that you might be treading on thin ice and eventually your game might end up like Larkiv - taken down. However you can circumvent this by replacing the real belligerents with fictional factions, and turning the maps into fictional battles that somewhat simulate the real battles fought. This is how games like PROJECT and Syrian Shenanigans were able to pass the vibe check - by either replacing the real factions with fictional ones, or refusing to mention or reference them outright (e.g replacing flags and renaming sides). ESPECIALLY excluding real-world terrorist groups.
And no, fictional conflicts don’t fall under this category (e.g China vs Taiwan, for now), — but however the gamification of hot-contested disputes (e.g the South China Sea/Paracels and Spratlys and the 9-dash line or conflict between all of the 5 nations that lay claim to the waters) might have a chance of being taken down as well.
And the gamification of real-world tragedies, well, they’re banned for a reason (e.g 9/11 simulators or the Beirut port explosion). They’re counted as promoting or glorifying violence or terrorism.
And lastly, games with political messages - Apparently Roblox isn’t that much of a fan when it comes to politics (which is kinda sad for political enthusiasts like me tbh), but election simulators are permitted.
EXAMPLES OF BANNABLE GAMES
(spoilered for your own safety):
crash some planes onto some towers in new york, hamas simulator, Siege of Mariupol, attack Myanmar junta, launch missiles into israel simulator, Siege of Marawi City, commit warcrimes for fun, auschwitz map, Z special military operation, vote for frump!, classified documents for free etc.
So to answer your question, WWII games and battle depictions ARE allowed. However just don’t get too crazy with the no-no german symbols (e.g funny-looking double thunderbolt symbol, or the hakenkreuz/swastika [obviously] DO NOT PUT THESE), and you’ll be fine. You can use the Iron Cross or the Balkenkreuz for the German side if you’re asking for which symbols are permitted.
I can confirm: Your Stalingrad and Leningrad games pass the check; now go ahead and make it. Chase your dreams.
Good luck!
Do not put swastikas in there, otherwise Germans like me will mass report it, because your game wouldn’t be allowed in Germany then.
ah i see. Thank you for helping me, I will go develop those games, although I will pause development due to other projects and lack of funding.
