When roblox was created, it was said to be 100% free. Everyone was probably excited to play the "free" game. However, they then created robux, which is used to buy items. Is that known as "free", no, it isn't. Then, they created Builder's Club so you could have more priviliges. Sounds like a good idea, right? Nope. You have to PAY to buy Builder's Club; and that is definitely not free. And then, something known as "pay-to-play." This, now, is definitely not free. I mean, imagine a user who logged onto roblox, about to play their favourite game. Then, they realise, it is 250R$. This is wrong, isn't it? Indeed it is. _________
To roblox: you shouldn't have said "roblox - it's free!" because it isn't. _________ |

What kind of business says it's 100% free ? Anyway pay-to-play games is a step too far, then again barely anyone is using it and barely anyone is buying into it, the way it should be. |

1/25 games are P2P. I really think that they should remove this, but nonetheless, Roblox will never be free. As R3ge said, what kind of business says it's 100% free?

Roblox's servers and staff team costs a lot of money and ads on their site isn't enough to keep the website running.
And nobody is buying into the P2P which is a good thing. Start worrying about it when people do buy into it. |

Ok look. It was all good up to builders club; but then they started changing it around; twisting their words and doings so they could make money.
*shakes head* poor roblox. You're trying to MAKE us get BC. You know what? Why don't you stop making these extremely expensive updates; cause we hate them. But you may ask, "If you hate them, why are you still here?" Because we love roblox. For now, at least. And if you stopped making updates; we'd still love roblox. We're around on roblox because it's perfect as it is. Just stop trying to make more money; or at least give us a reason for this. |

Ehh.
Roblox IS still 100% free. They mean by free that you don't have to pay any real money to get in unless you want a membership. |

| ROBLOX is still 100% free. Your account and download of the ROBLOX client and software, completely free. Creating your own game and playing millions in the catalog, totally free. Of course, you've got the option to buy extras, but the basics of ROBLOX remain as they always have, free. |

^ Exactly moderator
Free until you want to be good at the game... Same with all f2p, but don't get the wrong thought on this post, p2p is a good thing. |

| Roblox did say it was FREE TO PLAY it has not lied you can play for free. Now Robux leads to another topic then we get into the topic ADDITIONAL CONTENT. You can customize your character how you want with an additional fee as well. We had tickets added and the Trade currency allowed you to transfer tickets to Robux. But Roblox has still remained free to the players and always will be its just additional content which makes you pay. |

Didn't you notice that actually profiting robloxians have the roblo-funds they obtained "for free" could purchase things? Also, as I said in another thread, "If they(Roblox) remove pay to play then they(Greedy People)'ll force players to purchase game passes to play." |

| I think ads should still show up for BCers, but it wouldn't be those video ads, it woulb be almost an overlay ad, so roblox gets money for that ad |

It's bait and switch. They said it's free- when it's not. They did it to lure you here. |

It is partially free. Why are you expecting it to be 100% free? How does one earn money if their business is 100% free? It's like going on a free tour of a chocolate museum. You get quite a lot there, but to actually buy any of the chocolate, you have to pay.
Nothing that earns money can be 100% free. Also, paid games are a JOKE. Have you seen those things? All the games are terrible, and almost no one goes to them. Also, none of the actually popular games are P2P, because the creators know that they'll lose business. |
