  • Verge deputy editor Alex Heath sat down at Code 2023 to chat with Roblox CEO David Baszucki. Roblox definitely started out as a kid thing, but the company has big plans to change all that, and Alex got to find out a bit about how that’s going. Roblox is determined to be a platform, even more than a product - something users can develop games and experiences on. And of course, David and Alex spoke about AI, and the opportunities it presents for Roblox in the not-too-distant future. #Roblox #Code2023 #Technology

    When kids spend thousands of dollars on worthless skins, we have a problem.

    Ah, I remember a time when ROBLOX wasn’t a soulless platform. I remember way back in ‘09 playing it, I’m 21 now, time flies and those golden years aren’t coming back.

      I just wish that they listened to their community. After 2017 They completely stopped listening. They basically went deaf and just started giving us unwanted content (Besides the ROBLOX Studio Content which gives us Developers a larger field of creation.)

    I’ve been watching the docuseries on Netflix about Juul. They grew extremely fast too. I’m sure no problems there.

      What are you talking about lol? Roblox did no advertising and still keeps growing. It's much more sustainable because it's a very high quality game and eco system. It's continuously been growing year upon year.

      Whats the difference between wine being in a store that kids can go into? You need an ID. If a child somehow manages to steal a parent's ID and take a picture of them with the ID next to their face, the blame is on the parents.

      First of all Roblox isnt a game, its a communication/social platform, much like UA-cam theres a variety of content meant for kids and adults.

    • @ijimkoz
      @ijimkoz 11 місяців тому

      I understand what you are saying in classifying Roblox as social media, but if you surveyed an entire middle school and asked them if Roblox was a game, I assume that a large portion would say Roblox is a Game. I think partly because, in most people's cases, their Roblox app is sitting next to apps like Rocket League and Fortnite or whatever other new AAA game that was just released. Context matters.@@dragonslayer7814

      ​@@snowballeffect7812It costs virtually nothing to make a game on roblox. They provide the playerbase, the servers and the basic ingame systems such as inventory and characters, being very easy to customize.
      Roblox is not the platform for someone expecting to make a living wage out of their average game. Its a good starting point and some also happen to find massive success, thats it.
