Roblox exec: Our player-creation game model is the future, not Ubisoft and EA

One of gaming’s quiet phenomenons is turning 10 years old in 2015, and one of its creators thinks that this is also the year that the rest of the industry starts trying to catch up.

David Baszucki is the chief executive officer of Roblox, which developed and operates the gaming platform of the same name for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android. Baszucki explained to GamesBeat that the future of gaming is going to look a lot more like Roblox than the games coming out of traditional publishers like Ubisoft and Electronic Arts. The reason for that is because Roblox enables anyone to build games and share them with a massive audience. The platform originally debuted in 2005, and it features hundreds of small scenarios, levels, and modes. Now, going on 10 years later, it has grown to 4.5 million monthly active players who are constantly enjoying a steady stream of new games.
