Jason from Rooms.xyz here! We haven't figured out the business model yet, but we figure if this catches on there's probably a way to responsibly make money :-)

- somethoughts 3y agoDefinitely an edtech CodeCombat-like platform route would be ideal coming from a parent (i.e. tutorials, elearning, online private tutoring at $200 per month). CodeCombat is great but definitely more oriented toward the traditional boy oriented programming. Your offering is much more approachable to both boys and girls and higher in graphics quality/aesthetic. If you need to directly monetize - perhaps an itch.io/Appstore type e-store would be interesting where creators could monetize their cozy style game creations through a straightforward publishing them. Hopefully if you do want/need to try some sort of Roblox/Fortnite style, monetized open-world version, you can separate it into its own domain (i.e. rooms-world.xyz) and keep rooms.xyz strictly for Scratch like learning experiences. The potential of rooms.xyz as it stands now is great as an edtech platform. Perhaps some private donor (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.) could help to buy out the original rooms.xyz from your seed investors and put it into some sort of private foundation (i.e. Scratch Foundation [1], Khan Academy Foundation). You could then be explore growth/monetization IPO-able opportunities through a separate entity while keeping what you guys have already built in tact for the long term.
