QUESTIONABLE — year conflation. Roblox grew GAAP revenue 108% in FY2021 (not 2022). In FY2022, revenue grew only 16% and bookings only 5%. The global market shrank in 2022 (-4.3% per Newzoo), but NOT in 2021. Ball combines two individually true facts from DIFFERENT years: "100%+ growth" (2021) and "market shrank" (2022). The underlying point — Roblox outperformed the broader market — is correct for both years. But the specific claim as stated does not match SEC-filed data. This is either a presentation error or a non-standard time window (e.g., cumulative 2020→2022: +141%).
