I have kids. Roblox is fucking huge man, all kids seem to have played or play Roblox. 40 million game variants and it’s a micro transaction hellscape. Some kids ask for Robux (in game currency) for Christmas/Birthday and that’s all they play or do. It’s truely insane.
It’s the reason it’s a haven for child predators, children flood the system. So it’s a “target rich” environment. Pretty sad but that’s why it’s worth a ton. Micro transactions and massive player base.
As of February 2025, the platform has reported an average of 85.3 million daily active users. According to the company, their monthly player base includes half of all American children under the age of 16.
Roblox is insane in scale & mostly invisible to anyone older than 23. Right now, some of the peak 24hr concurrent on Steam charts is:
CS2: 1.5m
DOTA2: 1.2m
PUBG: 670k
ARC Raiders: 420k
Rust: 235k
These are insane, but Grow A Garden regularly has 2m concurrent every weekend. Adopt Me or Brookhaven can have north of 1m on weekend, especially if they update. Roblox Concerts regularly have 2m or more.
I have 3 kids, and I worked at a well-known Roblox video game company (Top 5). People in our generation just do not know, unless they have kids and definitely know.
so i only know roblox from few memes, how are they worth almost as much as nintendo? wtf?

Lots and lots and lots of kids play roblox, and use mommy and daddy’s money to buy microtransactions.
Maybe try and think of … Roblox is to Gen A what Pokemon was to Millenials, or Minecraft to Zoomers.
But probably significantly bigger.
