Roblox Corporation, founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, is an American video game developer headquartered in San Mateo, California. The company is best known for creating Roblox, an online platform that allows users to design, share, and play games created by other users. Launched in 2006, Roblox has grown into a global phenomenon, particularly among younger audiences, offering a vast array of user-generated content and experiences. The platform’s success is underpinned by its robust virtual economy, where users can purchase and trade virtual items using its currency, Robux. This ecosystem has enabled many developers to monetize their creations, with some earning substantial incomes. In March 2021, Roblox Corporation went public, reflecting its significant impact on the gaming industry. Despite facing challenges related to content moderation and user safety, the company continues to expand its reach and influence in the digital entertainment space.
