That's fine if this is 100% investment. But to Cameron this is also a passion project, which will likely also happen to make him more money than any of us will see in our lifetime, even if it's considered barely successful by blockbuster standards.

Kids didn't typically wander Into a speakeasy. Roblox is aimed at kids, primarily. It should all start with parental controls. As a parent who works with tech, I found these incredibly frustrating, and inadequate. No way to white-list particular games, no way to prevent strangers from sending friend invites, although we can block chat. And even when the available controls are used, the experience is terrible for the children. They see a list of games that are unfiltered, and there is no indication whether or not they will be allowed to play. Not until they try to join the server, wait for the loading screen and get an "insufficient permissions" error. This happens to a majority of the games. Most of these issues can be fixed with money. I don't have the impression that they care to do that. It's a wild west.
