Ever since the release of Roblox back in 2006, the game has amassed a huge fan following around the world.
But as the game grew in popularity and was embraced by younger audiences, it has also been subjected to criticism suggesting that it can be harmful, as teenagers are allowed to run amok without any supervision while in the game.
Regarding this matter, Sportskeeda Esports writer, Subhradeep Mukherjee reached out to a prominent content creator of Roblox, going by the name of lphoned a.k.a. Asco. During the interview, Iphoned goes over his experience as a content creator and explains that many of the preconceptions people have about the game and its player base are wrong. He elaborated,
When it comes to Roblox, people think of Barbie dolls and glitter, but it's so much more. Roblox has allowed me to make thousands from sitting in the comfort of my own home!
Here is an excerpt from the interview.
