Roblox, a game creation platform and multiplayer online game is really popular among its users. According to the Games Industry website, Roblox attracted more than 48 million active players each month in 2017.

David Baszucki is the CEO and co-founder of Roblox Corporation, first created a generic physics simulator called Interactive Physics working for Knowledge Revolution, this was followed by a 3D simulator called the Working Model, which could mimic complex mechanical devices such as motorcycles or photocopiers.

After Knowledge Revolution was acquired, Baszucki, along with his partner Eric Castle were promoted to senior positions. The two left a few years later and wrote the first version of Roblox in two years. The project was initially self-funded which later raised 11 million dollars from investors.

Baszucki made the game not only because of the increase in 3D rendering and enjoyment of construction toys but also because of the positive reception from children playing on his simulators. Roblox was officially launched in 2006. Since then, it has included avatar customization, a search engine, private messaging, and more.

Roblox is a large-scale multiplayer game where people create their own world to play together. The games cover a variety of genres, from competitive shooters, obstacle courses, and social hangouts. More advanced functions can be created by dragging and dropping objects in Roblox Studio or for more advanced functions by writing Lua, Roblox's coding language.

One of Baszuck's favorite games is Natural Disaster Survivor, where players are transported to an island in the middle of the ocean to avoid algae, thunderstorms, and more. The game is free to play, but you can spend real money for Rubox, which is the game currency, which you can use to buy cosmetic items and perks in some games. You can also look for Roblox games promo codes to earn rewards for free.

The Robux can be purchased in packages ranging from 400 for $4.00 to 22, 500 for almost two hundred dollars. There is also the option to upgrade to the Builders Club account, with monthly purchases starting at 5.95 dollars per month where you can remove ads, sell gear, bonus equipment, access to the trading system, exclusive access to sports and equipment, and more

When buying a game, the creators earn 18%. Some developers make more than 50,000 dollars per month and some developers are even building their own studios to make games on Rublox. Roblox also has advertising deals with major companies like Disney, which offer players free items to promote their movies.

It is very likely Roblox will surpass Minecraft in the near future in terms of the number of monthly active users and become as large as media companies and social media networks. The growth of the gaming and creation platform is fueled by the ongoing pandemic where children and teenagers are finding ways to spend time with their friends and indulge in group activities, which are otherwise not possible.
