    Don’t forget that when they do hit it big and get lucky, they often spend the robux they earned back into the platform.

    The We Make Games documentary on Roblox interviewed a kid who made $20k USD or something like that off his game. Never cashed it out and bought a bunch of cosmetics in the shop he’s stuck with, and he’s kicking himself for it now.
