Roblox er fortsat en uhyre populær platform, særligt blandt de yngste, og det er muligt for brugere i alle aldre at skabe en bane, som spillet kalder en "Experience", og enten distribuere den gratis eller tage penge for den, hvor Roblox Corporation tager en procentdel af hvert eneste salg.
Dette har ledt til kritik rettet mod virksomheden bag, og nogle mener eksempelvis at de udnytter børn til at tjene penge. Det mener de dog ikke selv, og insisterer at det er en "gave" for de yngste spillere at tjene penge på Roblox.
I et interview med Eurogamer siger studiechef Stefano Corazza dette:
"You can say this for a lot of things, right? Like, you can say, 'Okay, we are exploiting child labour,' right? Or, you can say we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even an income. So, I can be like 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now, with just a laptop, I can create something, make money and then sustain my life. There's always the flip side of that, when you go broad and democratised - and in this case, also with a younger audience. I mean, our average game developer is in their 20s. But of course, there's people that are teenagers, and we have hired some teenagers that had millions of players on the platform. For them, you know, hearing from their experience, they didn't feel like they were exploited. They felt like: 'Oh my god, this was the biggest gift, all of a sudden I could create something, I had millions of users, I made so much money I could retire.'"
Det er uden tvivl et svært emne, men hvad synes du?
