I remain dumbfounded as to how Roblox got so big and is now publicly traded.

Really? It runs everywhere (browser, mobile), it targets young children (a huge and passionate group), it is absolutely full of content (made for free/cheap by other children).

It is the most obviously successful formula I could imagine.

Nowadays I don't think the games are made by fellow children as much. There's whole teams of adults making money off of Roblox games

There’s whole teams of adults ~~making money~~ scraping peanuts off of Roblox games

ftfy

Unless you meant the gray/black markets, those give off more real money than Roblox does to its content creators
