Regarding Roblox, Candice Mudrick head of marketing analysis of gaming data at Newzoo has said, “The Roblox business model is more than a game – it’s a platform that encourages creators to build experiences for other users.

While many games have some form of user-generated content, it’s more uncommon to find games whose entire business model is built upon it.”

Roblox has allowed many young gamers to not just involve in playing games, but also be part of the company and develop with us.

Just like Matt and Ben, Quinn Byron-Dyer started playing on Roblox at the age of 10.
