I would like to make this a point: ROBLOX is not rolling in money. In fact, they are a very, VERY poor company. I've actually been to their "headquarters", not nearly as extravagant as you would think. Think of a run down building, brown in color, two floors. It's not exactly what you would call "pretty".
While they do make a massive amount of money, this all has to be re-invested into better servers, more servers, and more memory to hold maps online for. Now, as ROBLOX grows, the more they have to pay. So, as a result, they will LOSE money over time. The only way to gain money over this time period? Simple, more BC benefits. Better buildersclub. Better hats for BC members. They really don't make as much money as they seem.
ROBLOX workers do not live in solid gold mansions. Trust me. I've seen it for myself. They aren't the poorest company out there, but making all of these assumptions is ludicrous. This is their game, you are lucky there is even a free component.
So, please. Stop accusing ROBLOX of being greedy, of rolling in money. Of being rich, greedy pigs. Because, in reality, you have no idea what you are talking about. You just cannot accept the fact that they take much time to implement big features just for you, without much profit. You have to whine about new features and the like just so you can get your way, so you can have some amount of satisfaction with yourself. And it's the most annoying thing in the world, to see you people complain. So just stop. |

| I know roblox needs the money to run, but couldn't they have just made some other update for BC, instead of the places? |

| I'm just going to be honest, I do not agree with the update either. However, you'll have to face it. It's not like it will be reverted. |

Ginger, MC is nothing like ROBLOX. MC saves things directly onto your computer. ROBLOX, however, you upload your places to online storage. It costs them a LOT of money for this storage. It also costs them a LOT of money to run servers, too. They have so much data to store: MC has none.
Also, all buisnesses own buildings. Usually. |

@ Ginger,
Thats because the creator is rich and was just bored and so he just decided to solo-make this game because he had the money, he could pay for anything. He didn't get his mansion off the game. |

| ROBLOX is also a company, with many employees. They have to pay those employees. |

You know, usually I would stand by someone with a point that could be supported..
But I strongly disagree with this update, and if ROBLOX is as " poor " as you say they are, than they could've altered contests to be BC only.
But not games -- Games are the one thing people thrive on on ROBLOX, their motto is " Free Games at ROBLOX.com! ", yet they do this update.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't think ROBLOX needed to resort to places being BC only, even if not all of them will turn into BC only..
..I just don't understand why ROBLOX always resorts to the extremes when they have milder choices that will cause less impact on the community. |

Sorry to bump this. It's not that old anyway. QUOTE: "You know, usually I would stand by someone with a point that could be supported..

..I just don't understand why ROBLOX always resorts to the extremes when they have milder choices that will cause less impact on the community."
I'm just gonna explain the purpose of the update. They obviously knew none of the BC'ers were gonna be convinced to buy BC. Just quit. The quitting NBC'ers obviously would have never bought BC. This is mainly aimed at users just joining right now... so mainly '11ers. They will see there are a good amount of benefits. More than if it was 2009. The larger amount of features are tempting and the new user is more likely to buy BC...
Now, everybody hates contests and they're quite a small things... and contests don't often catch a users attention. Turning THAT into BC only wouldn't have much effect. The less dramatic the less effect and thus there would be no point. |
