This essay sheds light on how Roblox became a global online game platform phenomenon, explicates how Roblox changed people's lives, and expounds upon how to earn revenue as a Roblox player. Roblox was able to achieve the stupendous feat of becoming a global online game platform phenomenon during its incipience. There are a multitude of reasons as to why Roblox was able to become a global online game platform phenomenon during its genesis as one of the utmost popular online game platforms of all time as of November of 2023. Roblox's extreme popularity among gamers is not solely attributed to Roblox launching as a free-to-play online game platform. Roblox is far more than a conventional online game platform. Roblox not only allows players to develop their own games via the usage of "Roblox Studio, an engine of Roblox, and Luau, a gradually typed embeddable scripting language", but also allows players to develop purchasable content to sell for their games in Roblox. Developing purchasable content to sell for their games in Roblox allows video game developers of games in Roblox to avail themselves of the opportunity to generate wealth from gamers purchasing their purchasable content. This is because "the Roblox Developer Exchange Program, also known as DevEx, allows Roblox creators to exchange their earned Robux for real money". As of August of 2023, it is estimated that over 40,000,000 games have been developed via the usage of "Roblox Studio, an engine of Roblox, and Luau, a gradually typed embeddable scripting language". "As of April of 2021, Roblox has 202,000,000 monthly active users". Roblox appeals to gamers since it is able to offer them access to tens of millions of games. Roblox has far more games than a gamer can ever play in his lifetime. Even if you were to expend the vast majority of your waking hours playing games on Roblox as a heroic character, you would still not even be able to experience the totality of the prodigious Roblox game library.
