How much did they make last year?

Supposedly they made $4.9 billion, but claim to have lost $1 billion because they are aggressively pursuing growth. The kind of business strategy that makes sense for the investors and the top earners because they make more every year, until they don't and golden parachute out as the company crumbles. Still, 10 million is 0.204% of last years earnings

>Roblox, which is used by nearly half U.S. children under 16, will give $10 million over three years to support programs like the Boys & Girls Club and other nondigital activities, Ford said. It will also fund a law enforcement liaison position to respond to safety concerns about the platform and fund an online safety awareness campaign, Ford said. OK. This isn't a terrible outcome. I like having a dedicated liaison position. I hate the mealymouthed "safety concerns". There's [actual predators on Roblox](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/12/18/roblox-lawsuits-sexual-abuse/87780803007/). They need to address actual threats and harm. "Safety" makes it seem like a kid is playing with a hand mixer.

It’s a terrible outcome because this is a fraction of a drop in the bucket to them. They made $12mil in less than 24 hours.

The liaison will be paid to turn a blind eye

A platform targeted at kids that can upload and download media should have never been able to happen in the first place. Roblox as a game is an insane rabbit hole that could never be properly moderated.
