American video game company refusing to delete account

An american video game company, namely Roblox, that has an overwhelmingly young player base refuses to delete accounts based on "not being able to verify ownership". After appealing their decision and asking for a way to verify my identity, the support outright refuses to give me a way to properly verify myself for account deletion.

Upon researching this online, i've seen someone saying that this company is notorious for making it as difficult as possible to delete one's account because "they like to hoard data".

I currently don't have the time and the ressources to do anything against it in this case, but I would like to know, especially if there is any GDPR-Pro or Lawyer in here, if something could be done about this practice by this company in general, since deleting one's data should generally be easy, accessible and possible.
