I've heard Robolox is a nice place to work and every other gaming company is a little better than it was in the past because they have to be.

That’s partially due to that fact that Roblox is a platform and is not a gaming company. It’s a different business model and culture that isn’t subject to the vagaries of the games industry.

(And yes, it’s a great place to work!)

They are kind of both right? Like Steam and Epic. Roblox is a game. It is also a platform.

But I see what you are saying. The model is very different from a typical game studio.

Not really. Roblox the company doesn’t actually publish games (or experiences as we prefer to call them).

Valve and Epic both develop big titles in-house. Whereas Roblox’s experiences are developed by entirely separate entities.

Roblox isnt a game that the company Roblox makes?
