I now have 5 or so years experience with Roblox in the house. I've helped my kids make games and I have to say, VC is missing out big time. Roblox (or the concept) has an enormous TAM. Roblox corp is struggling with DX DevRel and moderation. It's an absolute fucking zoo and the tools are shit. Major game publishers have had their accounts taken over by scammers, or just shut down by Roblox because of scammers trying to steal their accounts.

Somebody who understands product, gaming, and devrel could really knock this out of the park. Please do it, so I can go back to making games with my kids.




Well, fwiw, they did just hire Manuel Bronstein who led product at Zynga, YouTube, and Google Assistant: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/joining-roblox-manuel-bronste...


Zynga was pretty bad company.


By what metric? It made a lot of money and thats the only thing that matters.


There's a heap of new products in the space. We're building dot big bang (https://www.dotbigbang.com) which is web based so you can play and make multiplayer games on your smart fridge amongst other devices.

If you're interested you can learn more about the company and project here: https://controlzee.com/


What are the other products?


Off the top of my head Dreams, Crayta, The Sandbox, PlayBytes, RecRoom, Hiberworld and so on.
