Roblox’s rumble down under - Playing Politics, February 2026

More bad day than g’day, amirite?! 🇦🇺

Hello VGIM Insiders,

Welcome back to Playing Politics. Due to ongoing jury duty, this month’s edition will be a little bit different from usual.

Instead of the usual big read, politics in brief, and ones to watch, I’m running the rule over three stories from the past few weeks that give a flavour of where video games interact with the political world.

If you’d like to read this month’s Playing Politics and are not currently a VGIM Insider, you can grab a paid subscription to the newsletter here.

Showdown: Roblox has found itself in hot water down under after Annika Wells, the country’s communications minister, demanded a meeting due to ongoing concerns surrounding content on the platform.
