Rather than relying on Hollywood-like budgets to produce games, videogame company Roblox outsources the development to its mostly young players. WSJ meets a gamer making money from his creations and helping the publicly traded company attract new players. Photo: Roblox

I don't think that there is any other legitimate way to earn money nowadays rather than investing

I saw an offer for senior software engineer for Roblox. Total compensation: $400k/year (base + relic bonus + stock) Roblox will do fine.

You left out the part about irrational exuberence and absolute mania that is 2020-2021.

This is why I love investing in companies that just provide the platform and let users be the producers and customers like Facebook, Google through YouTube, and Airbnb!

Roblox has a lot of dark sides though. Kids can get easily get scammed on Roblox.

Google Cloud onboard, Citibank using EOS sidechain, Topps Baseball NFT going EOS sidechain Waxx, Peter Theil saying he's using EOS public chain for his new Exchange, EOS Approx 80, 000 times more energy efficient than bitcoin, and 20, 000 times more efficient than Ethereum, no transaction fees for EOS. EOS does multiple thousands of transactions per second, others do like only 10 per second. EOS is gold.

Roblox transitioned from a hospitable platform to a cold and heartless money hungry company, that’s how.

Getting your kids addicted to these games and technology at a very young age. Not cool😒

Roblox is for the kids on the FAR end of the spectrum. Whereas Minecraft is for everyone.

If you’re watching this, thinking about investing… roblox is an extremely old game by now. Anyone who has wanted to play the game, already is.

And because of its freemium model, players who do not already spend real money on Robux, don’t have a strong reason to stop playing for free.

The sandbox creator platforms aren’t a new concept. Minecraft has done it before them, and Warcraft III custom games and Half-Life mods prior to that.

Good feature on the game, WSJ. But investors be wary. As with all other existing gaming stocks, it’s a way for retail investors to support their favorite public brands, full stop. Little to no opportunity for growth.
