| Well technically, to simply play Roblox IS free, seeing as you you can make an account without having to pay a single cent. I never really understood how many people seem to fail to understand what the term "Free-to-Play" is, but I'm pretty sure it's because said people see the extra/paid-for content as part of that "Free-to-Play" experience and call it a "Pay-to-Play" game. I mean, yeah, a lot of the content on the site is indeed paid for, but using virtual currency. The only truly paid-for content on the site are BC, TBC, OBC, Robux Packs, and certain in-app purchases on the Mobile version. Virtual currency, on the other hand, is obtainable by many means, including trading currency, making/selling virtual goods, and/or simply buying said currency. Technically, you can indeed buy an expensive item off the Catalog or just have a lot of Robux in your bank just by waiting and trading, no paying real money whatsoever. Roblox still maintains its title as a "Free-to-Play" game because it never really made itself a paid game altogether, just certain content. Now if Roblox WERE a "Pay-to-Play" game, just making an account or even just playing as a Guest would cost money, maybe more than once due to the fact that Roblox hosts thousands of servers that require money to host, so be glad you can at least make a free account and play most of the games Roblox and its community has to offer alone. |

| In my opinion, Roblox is 20% paid for, 80% free. |

Just be happy that ROBLOX even lets free users play.
They can be mean and say you have to pay in order to play this game. |
