Roblox Corp., which built its reputation on games for tweens, thinks it can win over middle-aged workers.
During the company’s first investor day Friday, Roblox said it wants to turn its gaming platform into a place where workers can meet up and collaborate -- potentially opening up a big new growth opportunity. For the past few months, the company has been holding its own all-hands meetings in Roblox. It also hosted its holiday party there, letting staff play games or hang out at a virtual bar.
