He keeps using Roblox alone, building a PC for AAA games at high settings. He won’t play online FPS or story games, and he even ignores Steam. You need to restrict his access to those sites and apps through your router’s filtering feature. Since the previous method didn’t work, try enabling OpenDNS filtering as an alternative.
It's okay to enjoy games in your own way. Everyone has their own preferences.
Make sure to talk to them and explain other options! If he isn't causing any harm to himself (or the wallet) then I do not see the big deal. However if you need to, and have the authority to make decisions for your brother, please edit the Windows host file to block the website locally on the computer instead of messing up the router.
It's tough to hear that Roblox is no longer the top choice for your son. Back in the day, Roblox was the go-to platform for kids and friends alike. Now it seems like Fortnite has taken its place. I've managed a list of servers to block so they can't access Roblox anymore. But I think this approach might backfire—just pushing them further away from their friends could make them feel more isolated and resentful. Your brother will likely explore other games as he grows, so patience might be the best strategy if he doesn’t want to try them now.
If he wants to enjoy Roblox without spending all the family's budget on extra content or getting dragged into trouble, then let him do it. It’s likely what everyone else is doing. Watching over your sibling isn’t your responsibility—your parents are. If they don’t think it’s an issue and won’t restrict it, we shouldn’t interfere with his enjoyment. Otherwise, trying to stop it will just make things worse.
Occasionally several people attempt to prevent their children from using Roblox for reasons that seem unrelated, like wanting them to try other activities. It seems like the same individual might be asking the same question repeatedly, even though the responses remain consistent: allow the kids to choose their own games and avoid imposing your personal preferences.
I also had another idea—have you given it a try playing Roblox together? It could be a nice way to connect with him. He might even want to join in on your games, as long as you don’t push it. Either way, it’s an opportunity to spend quality time together.
Did they request a PC? Your tone seems controlling if you're the sole decision-maker, and you might come across as rude if you refuse them something. Are you their legal representative? Do you cover the internet costs? Those are the only factors that decide whether you're allowed to act here.
