  It’s sadly the biggest gaming platform in the world…

  A handful of people use Roblox to make milllions - if they pay out $1.5B total, and the biggest 1000 developers average $1.3M, then the entire rest of their 3.5 million developers average $60.

  They claim 150M daily users.

    Furthermore Roblox “taxes” their “developers” at various points.

    It’s been a while, but I believe there’s a percentage fee on the premium currency spent on the game, then there’s another percentage fee when you cash the premium currency out for real money.
