Since now game devs only get 70% as much for VIP it is a lot harder to profit and perhaps not worth the risk. Less games = less users = less money for Roblox. This is bad...

If you want to make a Facebook app and take credits through FB, you would pay a 30% and still have hosting costs for supporting your game.

We host your game that you are using to make profits for free, so the 30% seems very generous to me.

Shed is right though... perhaps VIP prices will just slightly increase?

Increasing tax to 30% is the worst idea ever.

90% gives the game devs to have more of a point to update the game.



$$ = Updates
Updates = More players

One thing we are thinking about is a way for place creators to turn R$ => USD.

Changing the fees around to be industry standard is a necessary precursor to this.

Shed, the one thing roblox is doing wrong is the fact that they are comparing their "taxes" to facebooks. Main difference! When you make apps, you also make REAL Money and so does facebook. but when roblox takes away 30% of our robux it doesn't make sense. Because roblox can make as many robux as they want while facebook cant make unlimited money. So all that happens is inflation and angry robloxians

@Shedletsky
The exchange rate would be insane. Look at the amounts you get from the normal buying system. It's $200...just for 35K. A lot of users have more than 35K.

@BigWolf32:

BC buys ROBUX, which you are free to spend however you like. The fee increase mostly impacts people who are making 1000s of R$ a month on their VIP shirts. So they might be paying a $6 subscription fee and making hundreds of USD worth of ROBUX. These people are still getting a great deal, so I don't expect behavior to change much here.

@wizzyman: Yeah. TheGamer101 could probably buy a car with his payout. That would be amazing.

ROBUX to USD
No offence but im glad im quitting soon.
I don't want to see ROBLOX turned into a place for real profit.
No more fun in that.
