“Even though it is virtual, we still provide a 'sandbox-style' play environment.”

“Figuring out how to keep our site safe and accessible for young people, and at the same time make it interesting, challenging, and age appropriate for older people is something that we're working heavily on.”

“We started having more developers who wished they could develop on Roblox forever, but they were starting to go off to Google and get jobs. It struck us that this whole platform play, where the creators were powering the fun, we could wrap it into powering the monetization as well.”

“Roblox is all about having great user-created content. It really ups the bar in the quality of the game.”

“Platforms are going to get bigger and bigger. Minecraft and Microsoft are just the tip of the iceberg. You're going to see more and more action in this space. Not just from Microsoft's Project Spark and Sony's LittleBigPlanet.”

“We are starting to see more and more Roblox games that offer creation. An example would be Theme Park Tycoon, which lets anyone construct a theme park on any device. You get to build roller coasters and theme parks, your work is saved, and when you come back, you can keep working on your creation.”

“We believe as people share experiences virtually, their avatars should have the ability to express a full range of emotions.”

“Empowering the creativity of our developers is at the core of everything we do at Roblox.”

“Looking ahead, we're doubling down on our commitment to building the most advanced tools and technology to take our creators and players into the metaverse of the future.”

“I love building things like robots, toys, and all of that.”

“VR provides the most immersive way of playing with Roblox, but we think it is very important that VR players can play with players on other devices.”

“We want kids to have an opportunity for free play. Roblox allows them to get together, make their own rules, go together wherever they might want.”

“Seeing how kids lit up when they were creating things made me think of what would be the ultimate platform for our imagination.”

“Roblox began with just 100 players and a handful of creators who inspired one another, unlocking this groundswell of creativity, collaboration, and imagination that continues to grow.”

“What we primarily need in Roblox games is character control, camera control and very straightforward tool, device and weapon use.”

“You know, I don't really judge any other sites. We really focus on our own.”

“We're taking the top iconic characters and bringing them to life as toys that our players can buy. We know that our players would like to play in both dimensions.”

“We've stayed true to our vision of creating a safe and civil place where people come together to create, learn, and have fun, and it's amazing to see what we've built together with our global creator community.”

“We hear from parents all the time about how much their kids learn from playing and creating on Roblox.”

“People get really attached to it: many of our players have played for four to five years, and our developers range in age from eight to 80. Some of the top developers are 18 or 20, and we have kids in high-school who are making two, three or four thousand dollars a month.”
