As a kid, I was obsessed with the game and would play it for hours on end with my friends. I joined Roblox on the 15th of January, 2010. Roblox's Long Term Vision: Become a Metaverseīefore diving into the company's historical growth, I want to begin with a personal anecdote. The analysis will be broken down into three parts: We will then analyze how Roblox plans on becoming the metaverse. Is Roblox really planning to build a metaverse? Before answering this question we'll need to analyze both its past growth and future growth strategies. Think about it as a digital replica of the world, except you can be a completely different person. Essentially, it stands for a second, 100%-virtual in which we everyone can interact with each another.
The term is most commonly referred to as the convergence of VR, augmented reality and the internet.
In order to understand how Roblox plans to become the metaverse, it's important to first understand exactly what a metaverse is.Īccording to the definition, a metaverse is a "3D virtual world, especially in an online role-playing game". Roblox was initially set to IPO in November 2020 but had pushed its IPO on NYSE to March 10th, 2021. To incentivize development, Roblox offers game developers the ability to exchange Robux they've earned for USD (more on that later). The games found on Roblox are created both by individuals as well as professional developers. Additionally, players can re-sell items, trade or monetize their games in order to receive more Robux. Players can earn Robux through a one-time payment or through a monthly subscription called Roblox Premium. While free-to-play, cosmetic and in-game additions are available in exchange for "Robux", Roblox's site-wide currency. To date, Roblox has over 50M different games. Roblox is an online, multiplayer gaming platform launched in 2006 which allows players to create games and play games created by others. If you aren't under the age of 13, there's a high chance you haven't heard of Roblox.
