Keep David Baszucki as CEO of Roblox


Keep David Baszucki as CEO of Roblox
The Issue
David Baszucki is not just the CEO of Roblox—he is the beating heart of a global movement that has touched the lives of hundreds of millions. For over two decades, he has poured every ounce of his soul into building a world where children laugh until their sides hurt, where teenagers find the courage to be themselves, where families separated by oceans can still play together, and where young creators discover they are capable of greatness. Roblox is more than a platform; it is a lifeline, a sanctuary, a place where countless young people have found belonging, purpose, and hope when the world outside felt cold and unforgiving.
Every time a child lights up because they finally finished their first game, every time a shy teenager makes their first friend, every time a parent watches their child’s eyes shine with pride at something they built—these are moments David Baszucki made possible. He has fought relentlessly to keep Roblox safe, to keep it kind, to keep it a place where dreams can grow without fear. He has given millions of young people a voice when no one else would listen, a stage when no one else would let them shine.
The Developer Exchange program he championed has changed lives forever—turning teenagers into breadwinners, enabling families to pay bills, sending kids to college, and proving that creativity can be more than a hobby: it can be a future. His partnerships have brought wonder and joy to children who might otherwise have been left behind. These are not statistics. These are real hearts, real futures, real tears of gratitude—because one man dared to believe in them.
And now, at the very moment when Roblox stands ready to shape the next decade of childhood and creativity, we face the unthinkable: the possibility that David Baszucki could be taken from us. The thought alone is devastating. To lose the man who has been our steady hand, our quiet protector, our fierce champion—the man who knows every corner of this community’s heart—would be a wound that might never heal. No successor, no matter how capable, could carry the same love, the same history, the same unbreakable bond with the millions who call Roblox home.
We cannot stand by while the future of our children’s safe haven hangs in the balance. We cannot watch silently as the one person who has always put their well-being first is replaced. The stakes are too high. The cost is too great. The heartbreak would be unbearable.
To the Roblox Corporation Board of Directors: please, hear the desperation and devotion in these words. David Baszucki is irreplaceable. His leadership is not a luxury—it is the lifeblood of Roblox. Removing him now would betray the trust of millions, fracture the soul of this community, and risk everything we have built together. You hold the power to protect this legacy. You hold the power to keep the light burning.
I beg you—do not let this happen.
And to every player, every creator, every parent, every educator who has ever felt the warmth of what David created: this is our moment. This is our line in the sand. Sign this petition. Share it with everyone you know. Raise your voice until it echoes in every corner of the world.
Because if we do not act now, we may lose the man who gave us so much more than a game—he gave us hope, belonging, and the belief that we matter.
Let us fight for him the way he has always fought for us.
Let us protect the heart of Roblox before it is too late.
Sign now. Stand with David. Save the future we all love.
