Roblox
Roblox was developed as an online gaming platform in 2006 by the Roblox Corporation. Roblox is a game that allows users to customize characters that are block shaped, and explore themed worlds. The game has its own currency to buy/sell "Roblox items." The game uses "safe chat" to allow players to communicate to one another, and has age restriction filters on certain words. Overall, Roblox has received generally positive reviews. Roblox has faced some backlash, as many believe the game spread inappropriate content such as racism to children. Again, this issue was combated through the use of word filtration in the chats. According to Roblox Developer officials, the game in 2017 made about $30 million in revenue and in 2019, surpassed $1 billion in revenue. In 2020, the game reportedly made $2.29 billion, and was named the "third highest grossing game of 2020". Roblox Corporation expanded into toys, selling "minifigures" resembling legos. The company partnered with others to make even more products including Roblox Monopoly edition, and Roblox Nerf Guns
