This whole new "Paid Access" thing seems to have the community split in half over if it's good or not. While I personally love the idea of Paid Access, I see the argument which the other side brings up and I thought that I would attempt to make peace between the two sides. A good idea is not without its flaws, but that doesn't mean it can't improve off of what it has. So, let's get to it.

Pros:
+ This, if used correctly, this can keep out any unwanted exploiters. Exploitation can break out in any game, which is pretty much where every exploiter targets, so adding a price to most-targeted games could overprice exploiters and prevent them from getting in.

+ This helps profit a game's creator so that they can easily make an ad with the extra profits coming in. Game fan groups and game ads can cost a lot to fund. While Game Passes are already helping this, a bit of extra money could help the creator a lot in the large scheme of things.

+ Hey, it's a BC-only feature, that's a good thing. I hold nothing against NBCers, but if anyone could do this we'd have greed sprouting out in every last game (I'll touch this in the cons later). This can also help ROBLOX fund its servers by having more NBC people want BC.

+ Finally, we have a way to keep too many people from trying misleading games. While this may just be a personal opinion, it seems like paying a lot of Tix for a game that says "Walk 500 Steps to Victory!!!" is utterly useless and could be spent on a much better game. It's about time that misleading game makers get taught the lesson they've needed to learn. However, I may be wrong and more people would buy to play the game. I don't know, only time can tell.

Cons:
- What about Guests? Haven't we forgotten about those poor children? I find this issue to be extremely horrid. Are we just going to remove Guests or something? Is everyone now going to have to make an account? There's been some speculation that perhaps a way to solve this is by giving Guests a free ride into each game, but wouldn't everyone (including hackers/exploiters) just sign out to play the games they want? My personal solution is that Guests can play a game for free, but they can only play each game once.

- Greed. We all know how much ROBLOX users want more and more virtual money. People would kill to have as much as Merely. So now there's no way of telling how the famous people will treat this. I have a feeling that 50% of them are going to make access about 100 ROBUX or something *cough*SBM*cough*, and due to this their NBC players will just run off. My favored solution is that there should be a maximum price limit. Greed can't overtake the community if it's being locked off.

Some people consider the fact that people might get mad about wasting their money on a stupid game a flaw, but to me that's their own choice.

Like I said, I personally favor it. Those cons aren't of my own, but I respect the opinions of those who said them.

Wait, ROBLOX is making a Paid Access feature? As of when and where did you find such info? Please tell me, as I had no idea that such a thing existed.

Lol, it's more like the BC feature. Think with logic, bc only places hold guests out too. There's no problem really, lol. It's optional also.

Still, moded, it's a bit unfair to the Guests because there will be a ton more than just BC places that are pay-only. Even if it's optional, it'll be desirable for pretty much anyone with BC.
