Roblox is massively profitable, and could remain that way with just the established devs. Boycotting won't do anything |

A 45% decrease in earnings... I bet you had to look very far up your ass to get that one. NO WAY do NBCers provide 45% of a devs earnings. If an NBC makes 10 tix a day, and lets say the regular BC makes around R$12 (Due to how many days they've had it (This number is far higher including TBC and OBC)). Pre-hyper inflation that's occurred this week 1R$ == 17 tix ~= 2. So a regular BCer daily salary is 204 tix, so 20x more than an NBC.
I imagine at least 1/10 of the game player base (Active players, not inactive) have some sort of BC

I just looked at the rates
An hour ago it was 19:1
now its 21:1
this is insane, the rates are hopping all over the place. Before Christmas this year, it took days and days to make the climb from 19:1 to 21:1
Time to take advantage of this madness.

"Developers got screwed out of what they usually make which means a 45% decrease in earnings."
When looking at the most popular games right now they are earning about 1-2 ROBUX per visitor through the sale of gamepasses so its only a less that 5% decrease in income.

"1-2 ROBUX per visitor"
Where are you getting these figures from!? |

By simply adding up the amount of robux earned by selling the gamepasses and dividing it by the amount of placevisits.

Your math is faulty

@Fab, which place did you use? Or which places?
Also, you couldn't possibly include gamepasses in that stat
|
|
|
|
|
Wait, so is the log in bonus being removed, or like the whole tix exchange?
y-you monster |

@Fabunil
you are someone that has no idea how the system works do you? most of the good developers get revenue from Roblox, not from game passes or visits. Please consider looking into things before you talk your mouth off about things you don't understand.

"The word 'greed' is being thrown around at ROBLOX but I'm perfectly fine with ROBLOX doing this if it's not actually for greed and personal gain. If it's going into making servers more powerful and updates and features come quicker then I have nothing against it."
You're a dumbass
"AdService on all platforms would be great"
Leave roblox, noob |
|
|
BothAngles is being typically constructive!
Anyway, I wouldn't really describe roblox as 'greedy', no more greedy than any other company. They provide a service which I am not paying (Or though I've probably spent +$500 on Roblox) for. I think $5 for monthly BC is more than reasonable too.
And AdService on PC would be awesome. The power at intervals of something like Phantom Forces to have an ad. Make it optional to watch perhaps and reward it with some ingame currency?

Is StyLis showed an ad at intervals, assuming .5R$ remains a constant, they'd make LOADS of money. 4k people on right now, so every 15 minutes they get shown an ad. That's 8k R$ an hour. Ofc it'd probably drop off through out the day, but peak times it has about 6k people on it. That's loads of money.
|
|
|
Yeah, but not only is it taxed, but it is split between the people that make the game. It's not like one person only made the game.
|
|
|
"They provide a service which I am not paying"
Ads on the site
Video ads on the site
Video ads in-game
Purchaseable robux
Purchaseable xbone robux
"Or though I've probably spent +$500 on Roblox"
Unfortunately it's 2016 so I can't say a certain two word phrase (hint: first word rhymes with hill)
"And AdService on PC would be awesome. The power at intervals of something like Phantom Forces to have an ad. Make it optional to watch perhaps and reward it with some ingame currency?"
Because mobile ads are optional /s
I've only seen a few people in my life beg for ads. Hopefully they're not around anymore :) |
|
|
oh and don't worry, i'm sure rocrap is already working on bringing adservice to all platforms |
|

If you hate roblox so much, why don't you go??? |

TL;DR
Having been in the dev community and talking with a lot of devs, we all think this is going to be a good thing for roblox, and they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't feel this was going to make things better.
That is basically the opinion coming from the devs. I will not respond anymore to this thread, nor will I be looking at this anymore. |

@sansay, you are a ultracrepidarian, developers don't get 45% of their revenue from tix,in fact, those numbers are way off, pleas don't bother replying to people when your numbers aren't real. The only developers that are going to be angry, are the developers that make garbage games, which their only revenue is from place visits, and by scamming people with their game passes, and in that case, I hope those developers don't get anything,
