Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) has garnered a lot of hype from investors in recent months. The stock is trading at a serious discount right now, down more than 35% year to date.

Roblox, the popular online gaming and creation platform, uses a virtual currency called "Robux" for in-game purchases and more.

Roblox makes money in a way that's similar to what video game companies do, which speaks to its potential to grow into a very lucrative platform.

In effect, Roblox makes three times as much off of a creator's work than the creator themselves. Players shouldn’t look at Roblox and expect to make their fortunes in game.
