RBLX

Roblox Corporation

A maker of a global online gaming and creation platform where millions of users play, build, and share their own games and virtual worlds. Players use the virtual currency Robux to buy items and experiences, and creators earn Robux they can trade for real money. It was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, who had earlier built physics-education software together. The name "Roblox" blends "robots" and "blocks," and the platform was nearly called "GoBlocks" or "DynaBlocks" before settling on its final name.
