14 year old describes how he makes $100k per month on Roblox “We made a game in 14 hours start to finish, we put $100 into ads, and once it hit the algorithm we sold the game for $250k”

The reoccurring sentiment on Roblox for the last 7 years has been “all the front page games suck”. Right now we are experiencing the most explosive growth the platform has ever seen, largely driven by the games the developer user base call cringe or bad. There has never been higher quality games across the platform, if the front page isn’t your cup of tea there are games with 10-200k ccu which may be. My core tenant of Roblox development has never been to dismiss the front page as trash, but humbly study and work out why these games have 500k-2m ccu on it. If you are a developer who says this game shouldn’t have 2m CCU on it, you are just as bad as the traditional game industry that has dismissed Roblox for years. Now AAA has two options to either catch up or partner with established Roblox developers as there traditional franchises fail to capture 10% the scale Roblox games do. People have no idea how much disruption is occurring in front of their eyes right now.
