Kreek states that Roblox currently has more players now than during the pandemic, specifically citing a massive influx of Gen Alpha users via viral games like "Grow a Garden" (23M plays in days). The market sentiment (represented by Kreek noting "red arrows" on the stock) reflects management's clumsy pivot to "Metaverse/AI" tech. However, the core fundamental asset—user attention and engagement—is at an all-time high. The platform's "moat" is so strong that it is growing despite management's disconnect. LONG. The discrepancy between stock performance and record-breaking user engagement creates a value opportunity. The ecosystem is sticky because developers have zero marginal costs (Roblox pays for servers). Management continues to force unpopular features (realistic avatars/AI) that alienate the core user base, or Fortnite's UGC maps successfully capture market share.
