(Reuters) - Roblox will roll out paid videogames on its platform and allow developers to sell physical merchandise through their created games, the company said on Friday.
The video gaming company will add the ability to price certain games, or what it calls experiences, in real currency for desktops, it said at its developers conference. Roblox will support a higher revenue share for the creators of up to 70%, but it will vary with the price of the game.
