Supplemental context
Roblox is a platform for many created experiences rather than one game with one story. Its support page names David Baszucki and Erik Cassel as founders and dates the company to 2004, while its twentieth-anniversary account traces platform games back to 2006. Keeping both dates prevents corporate founding and platform history from being collapsed into a single event. For future readers, the creator ecosystem raises questions about who builds virtual spaces, how players discover them and what happens when the surrounding service changes. Preserving named experiences and their creators would reveal more than an undated image of the platform alone.
Creator/community: Roblox Corporation; independent creators and player communities Place/era: United States company founded 2004; platform history conventionally marked from 2006
