Roblox has hired Tian Lim, a former Google Play VP, to head its division for user-crafted experiences.
Lim will lead a group whose goal is to help create easy-to-use tools for the social platform's young users to pick up developing skills while building immersive programs.
- The tools will also help companies build immersive experiences aimed at helping grow their brand.
- Roblox is committed to the idea that user-generated content will be a formative part of the metaverse.
- Lim explains, "I don't think Roblox is trying to build the metaverse [...] it's building the platform and operating system for the metaverse."
- Lim previously acted as Hulu's CTO from 2014 to 2017 and worked as a team leader at both Xbox and PlayStation.
