Roblox’s David Baszucki Built the Biggest Playground on Earth
Roblox’s “perpetual motion machine” reached cash-flow breakeven on less than $10M of equity, with user-made content replacing paid acquisition.Running for less than a penny an hour per person supports low-monetization markets, while Creator 1,000 bookings grow faster than Creator 1.AI creation tools and safety investment may extend the flywheel, but the 10,000-person photorealistic shared environment has no timeframe.
