To be fair their games are large in scale and highly polished. I don’t see them throwing a Cyberpunk 2077 or DL2 disaster
Roblox is an unpaid Xbox console exclusive already lmao

If they are bought by anyone else, that changes

True it’s installed on my Xbox and fellow dad’s Xbox’s

I can see Roblox just continuing to grow, it already has a market cap of 37B, technically it’s already bigger than Take Two even after Zynga. Imagine how much revenue it must bring in with micro-transactions!
But does it change much in the grand scheme?
How many years has it already been an exclusive? Anyone that was super pumped about that already joined the ecosystem. Even then, it’s already on phones,
I don’t think Roblox is the big play here my friend. Lol

100% - I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Tencent try to get them within the next 2-3 years. Free to play with ridiculous income in micro-transactions.
Nearly all the top free to play games are owned by Tencent already.

While true, I’m not sure Microsoft would put Roblox over other potential targets.

Completely agree - it’s easy money which will continue to grow.
As Alex said I don’t think they are part of the picture/strategy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Tencent get them soon.
I agree, but it is easy cash 
Both my kids and all their friends play Roblox, it just seems to be everywhere, I can only see it expanding even further.

For 40B xbox would rather buy other targets
True, I suspect 90% of the playerbase plays on mobile anyway.
I did a quick Google and discovered that Tencent already own 49% of Roblox China (a subsidiary) anyway 
.
Also although much smaller (by market cap) Take Two brings in 1.4 billion in revenue. Roblox only brings in 900 million.

Yes, but Roblox is also how much now? It might actually be cheaper to get Take Two. Lol

isn’t Roblox rife with other companies IPs?
Roblox could have made sense, but only before the IPO.

Now something I do wonder is if Microsoft would be interesting in grabbing some dormant IP.
For example, I’m currently playing through the FEAR trilogy. After the ABK deal Microsoft would (at least partially) have publishing rights for FEAR and FEAR Files, but 2/3 (and the IP itself) are with WB. That could be an easy 4 permanent games to the Game Pass catalog and could potentially have a reboot down the line.
Idk, just seems like it could be a cheapish option for long term Game Pass titles, but obviously studios are a priority.
