Enjoyed sitting down with David for a deep dive into founding Roblox, the formative days of the creator economy, and our early decision to build our own infrastructure.

Roblox founder @DavidBaszucki bootstrapped his first company to a $20 million exit, then spent two years failing to find a CEO job before building Roblox in his early 40s — no revenue, no investors, pure vision. Today, Roblox has over 150 million daily users, 13 billion hours of monthly engagement, and a virtual economy worth over $40 billion.

Today we're announcing Planning Mode in Roblox Assistant. Planning Mode breaks down complex ideas into actionable tasks, executes them, and iterates based on real-time feedback. This is another step in our quest to compress the gap between imagination and creation. devforum.roblox.com/t/announcing-p…

@Roblox You are all greedy pigs.
All you want is money so you can continue to do shit nobody likes.
The majority of the games are made by your players and not the pigs like you, so why should they pay for you?
In fact, you should pay the devs who make games as they grew your platform.
