Ted’s Take:
Roblox is leveling up by adding former WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar to its board. With Kilar’s experience in the entertainment and media space, it seems like Roblox is ready to level up from just being a gaming platform. Maybe we’ll see Roblox create its own streaming service or host virtual concerts with hologram avatars. The possibilities are endless! This move is a great combo, like avocado and toast or peanut butter and jelly. It’s time for Roblox to unpack its bags and move into the world of general entertainment. Let the games – and the shows – begin!
