![]() A representative sent the following statement to IGN, which we have reprinted in full. "For them, you know, hearing from their experience, they didn't feel like they were exploited! They felt like, 'Oh my god, this was the biggest gift, all of a sudden I could create something, I had millions of users, I made so much money I could retire.' So, I focus more on the amount of money that we distribute every year to creators, which is now getting close to like a billion dollars, which is phenomenal."Ī Roblox PR representative clarified with Eurogamer that “the vast majority of people that are earning money on Roblox are over the age of 18.” It’s unclear how many creators are under 18 or exactly how much money they are bringing in for themselves and the Roblox company. He even says that the money the studio gives its creators every year is nearing $1 billion. ![]() But of course, there's people that are teenagers - and we have hired some teenagers that had millions of players on the platform.”Ĭorazza elaborated, declaring the benefits Roblox Studio offers its more creative teenage users. I mean, our average game developer is in their 20s. He continued: "There's always the flip side of that, when you go broad and democratised - and in this case, also with a younger audience. So, I can be like 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now, with just a laptop, I can create something, make money and then sustain my life.” "Like, you can say, 'Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,' right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income. "I don't know, you can say this for a lot of things, right?" Corazza explained. The studio head attempted to shut down these claims during an interview with Eurogamer by explaining why their creation tools aren’t exploiting child labor. The Roblox name has long been associated with a younger player base, and many have accused Corazza and his team of taking advantage of children who use the platform to create games.
