The Rise of Roblox's Richest Players

imagine making millions of dollars by simply playing Roblox nope stop the video that's literally impossible are you sure about that that's just one of the few who turned her love for Roblox into billions of Roo the largest games on the planet real historical moments and more but to find out how they did this we need to dive into their full stories one by one beginning with stickm Luke upon joining Roblox Luke was your average 14-year-old kid playing games and having fun but he wasn't happy being just a player he wanted to make a game go big his main goal with this was not just to get rich but to also prove that with enough passion you can bring a whole Community together except the odds of this happening were close to zero we're talking about 2007 to give you a sense of this here's an average game from our time that was epic how do you even make that and compare that to one from Luke's time what even is that with nothing to work with maybe his dream was already dead but if he truly want to achieve your goals you should never be afraid to take that first step welcome to the underground War even with nothing Luke tried his best despite its flaws players somehow found joy out of uh terrorizing other players which led to the game reaching a couple thousand visits this kid is going places although it's not not much this was amazing for Luke cuz the thing is Roblox back then paid you virtual money whenever someone joins your game so instead of relaxing L grinded out a butt ton of games in the following years getting more players and more money from his fun simple ideas as well as showing them off on YouTube which clearly worked his original idea sparked some of the most well-known Roblox players so obviously he deserves some amount of Fortune but even with this money he can easily lose it all if he didn't spended [Music] wisely no way you're spending all that Robux on one single hat in hindsight this may seem like a dumb move but you'll see why it's genius but to make the money back Luke worked really hard on his games making each one better than the last but rather than making them flashy like modern games he focused on making them replayable meaning you can play them again and again then hend again without getting bored this led to him reaching 10 million visits meeting actual Roblox admins and most importantly buying a bunch of hats for some reason but this would all change on one fateful day it's 2011 and Luke got a message from a special person Roblox himself I noticed your games are getting so much love from the community why not come work here wait this has to be fake no way a child can work for Roblox right we caught up with Luke Weber roblox's newest employee and all while being an 18-year-old kid most of my friends are like uh flipping burgers and stuff like that and I I feel kind of bad for them because I actually got this opportunity for this great job and everything with this amount of power he can easily abuse it when things don't go his way but no he stayed true to himself and kept learning how to develop thanks to this he made even more roox by selling his own items but just as you thought he couldn't get richer one of his oldest games randomly blew up you may be wondering how a game this basic blew up four years later well the answer is in the game play welcome to NDS you spawn on this platform get drafted to this island and a random disasters chosen to annihilate you and everyone you love a bit repetitive right I mean the game itself had a lot of glitches and didn't even update much so you may think it'll die out that guy is screwed but these imperfections added to the randomness and funny moments made in the [Music] game this is exactly what players wanted the true magic of this game is that everything is completely random you don't know what to expect which makes it really replayable but with the entire community at his fingertips Luke needed to play his cards right to prevent the game from getting boring he added a multi- disaster machine this allowed rich people to um bring hell down to earth spicing up the game but even with an update schedule worse than mine the game still made a ton of money from players paying to win and I definitely not one of them but even still this wasn't Luke's biggest flow of Robux that is cap that would be the hatsy bot back then they were a lot cheaper costing a few hundred Robux But as time went by the price of the hats especially his Dominus Rose to Millions making him even wealthier but despite the success Luke remained humble and continued to help with huge events and kept this game simple causing them to thrive but even with billions of visits the second most valuable account and a fat pay from Roblox there's far more impressive millionaires in our community unlike Luke Snick Trix joined a lot later in time he wanted to spice up Roblox cuz the games were getting stale although we had more players we also had higher competition and higher standards for games oh yeah and game visits no longer convert into roox but unlike most devs Snick tricks did have experience with Minecraft servers and even made a cute Roblox farm game which didn't get much but combining these two ideas he spent months working on a project that can fail or change his life forever most steps back then would create the same kind of game over and over and over but Snick tricks took the risk of creating Minecraft themed Roblox games the first being Sky Block you spawn on this tiny Island and use what little all you have to make something great despite the effort Minecraft clones usually fail so Sky Block started off slow never mind maybe it wasn't so bad to make something different but Snick tricks was shocked at how fast this game blew up perhaps it was a great game mechanics or a progressive nature but players started playing and money started flowing Minecraft actually costs money but on this game you essentially get the exact same experience without having to pay any sort of money whatsoever this means that everyone can play it more players more money but to keep the game afloat the updates had to be creative and it could be the next big thing on Roblox this is unoriginal and disrespectful that's a bit of a stretch Roblox moderators should ban this game forever no way people agree with this this game keeps copying Minecraft imagine copying Minecraft copy of Minecraft Sky Block cop having all stupid for playing a copy of Minecraft okay but this won't affect the game itself right Sky Block was all of a sudden gone players complained that they stole from Minecraft so Roblox shut it down with his biggest Project dead it seem like Snick Trix will give up on his goal but as the last ditch Resort they changed the name from sky walk to Islands praying the band would be [Music] lifted we're back in business using this second chance he needed to play his cards right with a whole website full of ideas the team knew exactly what fans wanted what if we made it so players can visit other islands with better updates and better things to build in your Island players spent more time and money grinding out their base leading to amazing Creations bringing attention to the game with everyone being obsessed with making the best base possible you may think their game will never die out but right as the new year started they made the worst possible update since the game had so much content players easily found ways to dup items this made everything less valuable meaning less people will spend money on the game to fix this the devs wiped everyone's money and items players went ballistic but can you really blame them imagine losing something valuable just because someone else broke rules this led to many many players quitting and on top of all of that the game got way too complicated with all these new items with all this going on you may think the team will call it quits but instead of seeing this as a Bad Thing Snick trick saw us as a chance to make something new and great with the knowledge money and attention he got from Islands he spent months on a new game with the goal of getting emotions out of people and that game was Roblox bedw Wars unlike Islands bedw Wars was a lot more competitive cuz instead of building and farming you spawn on an island with infinite lives if your bed breaks you have one life left last team standing wins snit Trix had a lot of faith in the idea so he slowly drifted away from Islands to focus completely on bedw Wars but with that as their main source of money they better not mess it up first stop snit Trick's new bedwars copied Minecraft So to avoid getting banned again he spiced It Up by adding a bunch of kits each helping you win in game since players were competitive they spent millions of Roo on them the devs get money and players have fun it's a win-win but there's still one issue kits cost Robux so not everyone can use them to fix this he added a battle pass by grinding the game long enough you can unlock hits for free but some players spend 15K Roo to instantly complete the battle pass hopefully this won't cause any problems and on top of all of that the team added in which made the game even more insane you see if you want to win in this game you need as much loot as possible to buy op stuff but players found ways to combine kits and enchants to completely break the [Music] game yeah these tricks and the game playay in general always made players rage to get revenge they spent more money on op kits on the flip side he made just as much from kit gifting this allowed Giga Chads to spend thousands of dollars gifting everyone kits but also Snick tricks gets a percent of the money more players equals more gifting equals more money another smart move from the devs was adding win streaks basically how many times you win in a row because of this players spent weeks building insane win streaks having everyone cheer for them only to lose it to a hacker which to be fair added more hype to the game but to keep Edwards alive for as long long as possible the devs had to update as much as they can so throughout the year every week they added game modes kits op items you name it it seemed like every day there's some new gamebreaking glitch which made the game feel infinite but all this hype led to an inevitable problem picture this you stumble across bedwars for the first time you join the match and hope to learn the ins and outs of considering we had 25 five wait no 45 kits it was nearly impossible for new players to play cuz anyone can get these broken kits by spending crazy amounts of robox players went ballistic over the unfairness to fix this the devs added relics basically free upgrades at the start of each match it's the right idea but for the love of God just remove relics it's literally luck based I forgot to mention relics were chosen randomly all it did was make bedwar Luck instead of skill yes the kits made millions of dollars but if Pro players and new players felt excluded what's the [Music] point Snick tricks had a new goal not to make as much Roblox as possible but to make bedwars truly fair for everyone to do this we need to figure out what made the game unfair firstly no one likes fighting a tryhard with an unfair kit so adeps made a kitless game mode murder in bed toown a murder mystery type game and yes in the past we did have free to-play game modes but those still had try hards and hackers and no one likes that overall murder in bed toown gave new players something exciting cuz all you needed was to watch out for the murder but that wasn't enough next up they made the better kids free so new players had a chance to level up in the battle pass for context free kits Go free each week but they usually sucked but even with these changes a balanced game needs more balanced game modes so adeps got to work on two special ones the same kit mode where everyone has the exact same kit and OG mode unlike all the other game modes this one had no kits no Forge and no unfair Shenanigans because of their thoughtfulness many old players came back just to play these game modes I guess simple and fair always wins but the best for last the devs used an old feature from 2021 custom matches this lets you make your own bedw war game and spawn any item which on its own kept the game alive for a bit but the devs took it a step further by adding scripts allowing you to modify your game and add basically anything like seriously I honestly thought this wasn't possible for Roblox this gave each player a chance to make their own game mode and even make money by selling scripts by giving players some kind of control it's kind of hard for it to get boring unlike most STS Snick trick successfully made a fair and endless game but even with 10 billion combined visits two Innovation Awards in in the same day and a team of hardworking devs there's always a bigger fish in the sea while Snick trick saw Minecraft as inspiration Indra loved fighting games and saw them as inspiration with this new found love him and his brother spent years in their garage making anime fighting games and following their inspiration but none of the games went far however all this work didn't completely go to waste along the way they met a bunch of like-minded people we all want to make a success uccessful fighting game let's put all our skills together and make this happen now with some extra hands he was able to create two pretty decent games the first one kind of bombed but it got recognized by a pretty special person but as for the second one might not last but number one PC game is pretty cool uh that was fast players love the game idea all you got to do is pick an element and start swinging it's so simple which means any player can get into it but the billion dooll question is how will inures stay on top yes getting up was easy but staying up is a much much bigger challenge surprisingly Elemental Wars wasn't his final vision of a Roblox game even with all of this he was yet to reach his full potential this would be a cool Roblox game this is One Piece One of indra's favorite animes and conveniently the number one show in the world using the cool mechanics from his previous games he and his team made a sequel Blox piece with the goal of spreading his love for his favorite show at first glance Blox piece looked a bit generic but the Real Genius was in the game play since one piece was so popular inra took a lot of things from the show and applied it to his game with 12 different fruits that had abilities similar to the show surely it'll appeal to the millions of One Piece fans but to actually make them play inra made sure that all the mechanics were [Music] Flawless bro they got the Buddha fruit that's my favorite in the show Shut Up And Take My Money following the successful release inra continued to add fruits Islands weapons and NPCs based on the popular show he also LED one piece fans decide the next update which overall made the game more interactive and prosper financially but after this Indra completely switched his plan usually he would do Min updates weekly which players loved but one day he fought what if we put all our effort into one big update instead that might work but players will have to wait longer for updates but if you want to stay on top you need to take risks so for the next 3 months the team worked non-stop on their biggest update yet hoping players won't forget them with a second world many new fruits cooler weapons and higher levels to grind for players had so much to do which led to them inventing the first major challenge you start with nothing buy a fruit and only use that to get max level not only did this flood indra's bank account but also motivated new players and gave the game promotion but even with a very dedicated fan base Indra still didn't have an identity he built his entire game from One Piece which not only seemed unoriginal but one piece themselves Were Striking games that replicated them to prevent having an Islands moment inra rolled out another big update completely revamping the game from simple mechanics to the game name itself inra made sure it's still like one piece but had its own blocky charm that way one piece fans will still like it but it may appeal to more players another way inra expressed himself was giving back to people mainly Axor a longtime fan who made viral videos on the game in return inre and his friends gave him front row seats to special admin powers from flying boats to neverbe seen abilities what made these clips surreal is that these powers are so different from the normal fruits everyone loved using not only did players obsess over them but also made lore out of it since Blox fruits had a whole story now players stuck around to see the story develop and develop it did as time went by players got more and more obsessed on the latest and greatest fruits spending millions of Roo on private servers to grind levels in peace although inra made a fortune from this he didn't waste it on hats cars or drugs and instead spent it on making big updates such as fruit Awakenings which basically Buffs your fruit's abilities you got to act broke to stay rich and although he didn't need to he added YouTubers in the game as MPCs a nice token of appreciation but in the next 6 months the game only updated one time but the thing is Blox fruits didn't need as many updates each one was already massive plus it was very replayable with dozens of fruits and two massive Realms to fight in the possibilities were endless plus it was easy for new players cuz they can't get attacked and just like before Indra knew how to keep players hyped knowing how competitive the game was he and his brother made two enemy Clans kind of like a friendly rival the key players under toes where's this redhead time to [Music] die okay maybe not so friendly while the devs stay quiet players sure didn't using their wild imagination they came up with better and better PvP combos with the first and fighting styles from the last big update this Randomness made the game a lot more competitive which is exactly what inro would have wanted wow if the game was this hype with fou updates imagine what will happen [Music] if with free massive worlds and the new level cap let's just say the 6mon weight was worth it by spending more time on fruit designs weapons and pretty much everything players were more motivated to spend days trying to get them not because it's from one piece but because of how awesome they look but to make the community stronger inra added trading every fruit had its own value to prevent scammers this made fruits like Pokémon trading cards rather than blocky weapons but best of all this inspired viral Challenge videos where you start with the worst fruit and then trade your way to the best after this inra wondered how big his game could get his plan wasn't to squeeze money out of players but to make the best updates possible and keep players playing cuz if his fans were happy he was [Music] happy so today I made over a 100 accounts in order to spend for the new legendary leopard fruit and Blox fruits let's see if we can get it or not what are we going to get what an anti-climatic way to end off this video the new fruits took so long to get which gave players a reason to keep playing so following this he added V4 Awakenings basically insane fighting abilities but you need to follow an entire story for a chance of getting them which not only added to the lore but made fighting a lot more immersive while inro worked on the next big update he took some time to realize luux Roots may have started with him but it definitely outgrew him despite the effort he put into each update he couldn't have gotten this far without the help of others so to pay respects he made a whole event to thank his fans for 10 billion visits mailed a Rolex to Axor and lastly wrote a little poem to thank his brother for sticking around even after years of failed games we struggled together and now we shine together oh and speaking up shining welcome to update 20 for eight whole months inre Port his heart into the update so fans support her Hearts back into playing the new fruits locations and bosses were so spectacular that it not only broke the player record but also crashed Roblox 12 times that day but the crazy part is that's just part one of update 20 considering he's always planning ahead I'm sure inro will have many more years of bringing joy to players and YouTubers and Inspire other devs to do the same I guess true passion always wins in the end we did it boys but doesn't that make you realize despite being threee different players they all have one thing in common no not their insane amounts of [Applause] money but their true love for making Roblox games their main goal wasn't to make some cash grab but to create something that will be remembered for years to come cuz at the end of the day money is temporary but your legacy can live forever but considering how massive Roblox is there's a lot of people I left out so if we somehow get 100K likes I promise to make a part two with even crazier players so if you enjoyed be sure to leave a like and comment who you want to see in the next video
