Dubai Police were investigating whether the suicides of two Filipino students aged 15 and 16 were linked to the game.

They need the video game as a scapegoat and to take the fall/blame for those deaths. The government then appears caring and proactively hunting down the killer for the confort of those parents, while everyone else suffers for it. Simple logic 101

"Blue Whale Challenge" is worst. A series of tasks over a 50-day period, with the final challenge to commit suicide.

Looked like a friendly kid's app, which basic tasks to start off with like listening to music, then watching horror-style movies, gets up to mutiating the skin, carving/tattooing a "whale" symbol onto their arm, etc. It was however taken down by the "cyberbullying" act back in 2016.

I guess they are over thinking Roblox games, etc... now. Stereotyping them all the same.

It was targetting kids in depression to suicide. Not a way you want to go. I can agree with blocking/removing that. A man was arrested in Russia for starting the challenge, and he has admitted to trying to use psychological manipulation to convince teen girls to kill themselves.

As for Roblox, well that's just meant as kid's harmless entertainment, not the same thing.
