Gaming platforms: Going beyond distribution
summary
Roblox claims 90 million monthly active users and about 2 million creators, with several user-made experiences exceeding 10 million MAU; the platform runs a private cloud, a streaming architecture that streams assets to clients not video, and a large avatar catalogue. Creation requires scripting rather than drag‑and‑drop; discovery and cross‑platform publishing scale games quickly. Safety relies on a mix of machine learning filters and a global team of 800 human moderators. Developers earned about $70M from the platform last year.
