(Reuters) – Roblox on Wednesday posted better-than-expected bookings in the third quarter, driven by strong demand for its popular games “Adopt Me!” and “Murder Mystery 2”. The online gaming platform posted net bookings of $839.5 million in the quarter ended Sept.30, compared with $701.7 million a year earlier. Analysts were expecting net bookings of $830.2 million, according to LSEG data.
