My 7 year old daughter has stopped asking for (very pricy) American Girl accessories, and now asks for Robux. The coding schools around us are advertising Roblox Studio classes for kids.

I'm not so pessimistic as you on the model, but those previous operating losses seem pretty big.

What would be costing so much I wonder? The platform has been around for 15 years and whilst I understand it's a platform not a game per se, surely most of the work is done? I wouldn't expect it to get -more- expensive to maintain than it was to build in the first place year over year.

They lost more in one year than it took to build GTAV over 7 years.
