BC players earn the ability to configure their games into a paid access, where you must pay Robux to play it.

Commentary cannot be turned off.

>>All transactions will be held. Meaning, if the game is misleading, you can report it and a moderator will investigate. If the game truly was misleading, all transactions (Robux) will be REFUNDED.<<


For the BUILDERS:

Pros:
Chance to earn profit (Robux).
Chance to share great games, as Robux-paid access may prove it so.

Cons:
May not receive many players and loose profit that way. >>This is a gamble.<<
Must put time and consideration in it. If it's too generic, players will be unsatisfied and may share it via commentary.

For the PLAYERS:

Pros:
Chance to find better, premium games.
Paid Access (Robux) places cannot be misleading/inappropriate.

>>TIP: Always wait a few days before purchasing a paid access place to avoid fraud (even if it will be deleted, but remember: Limited U's) and ALWAYS check the rating and comments BEFORE purchasing in precaution of a bad game.<<

Cons:
Chance for a bad game. (Always check rating and comments!)
Harder for NBC players to find good games.

NOTE: Most places may not be paid access for the chance of popularity and profit.

Hope you guys understand!

People could make the game SOUND exciting when it’s just a spawn, and you lose 50 ROBUX.

No, you didn't.
If the game is misleading or bad, it can be reported and all transactions will be refunded.

From ChiefJustus:
Except that's not how it works.

Money earned from paid access does not go straight to the game's creator; it goes into escrow for a period of time. If buyers complain -- for example, the game used a false thumbnail or is otherwise misleading -- then money will be refunded and the creator will make nothing.

Combined with thumbs up/thumbs down (and notice also that game creators *cannot* disable comments for paid access games), you'd have to be an idiot to make a deceptive paid access game...because you won't earn anything -- except the scorn of the community.

I really am starting to like this idea the more I read about it, I really can't wait for it to be released.

I'm glad to see there's more publicity to why this is a good idea rather than a bunch of forum threads blindly saying "this will ruin roblox for NBC'ers", "make everyone quit", etc.

There are still pros and cons, however.
But since it's at a neutral state, I suppose it's alright.

I hope it is only used for beta/alpha access to games so the creator make some money and have beta/alpha testers. The players would be able to help shape the game into a famous and popular game and maybe they would get some credit for it. If someone tries putting a price on a finished game for no reason, then they are probably very greedy and naïve.
