Like YouTube, Roblox started as an online stage for young creators. As the company grows toward 100 million active daily users, contributors are making big money selling games.

In an exclusive interview, Roblox CEO David Baszucki talks about getting to 1 billion users, the gaming platform’s AI efforts, and critiques of its content moderation.

Even though many of its peer tech companies were focused on cutting costs in 2023, Roblox generated $1.2 billion of red ink for the year compared to $900 million in losses in the prior year.
