Roblox doesn't directly pay developers to create games — they earn money whenever players make virtual purchases within their games.

Roblox CTO Dan Sturman talks about how the company is building tools for developers, the challenges of building a tech stack for the masses and its foray into virtual currency.

CEO David Baszucki told creators that Roblox’s “next frontier” hopes to tap into 10% of the $180 billion global gaming market.

Among the developers, the majority are ages 13 to 20. Roblox encourages the most talented developers with internships. The accelerator is now in the third year, and the applications are growing.
