Introduction:
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program games and play games created by other users.
Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua.
Although Roblox has received generally positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, microtransactions, and exploitative practices directed toward children.
Roblox helps power the imaginations of people around the world. Every month, over 64 million active players come to Roblox to imagine, create, and play together in immersive 3D worlds, making it the largest social platform for play. We call it the "Imagination Platform" and invite everyone to play on it. We have a growing community of 1.9 million talented creators who have produced millions of unique 3D multiplayer experiences using Roblox Studio - our intuitive desktop design tool. Roblox is freely available on all modern smartphones, tablets, desktops, Xbox One, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. In 2017, Roblox was named to the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America for the second consecutive year.
