Roblox is abandoning their previously held values AND IT IS HURTING

There was a time when John Shedletsky, aka Telamon, posted on the blog an article. This article revealed that Roblox had libertarian leanings.

http://blog.roblox.com/2007/02/robloxpolice-gives-the-low-down-on-robloxpolice/

"Rest assured, the Roblox Team has strong libertarian leanings; we would never set up a police state in Robloxia. "

Notice: "The Roblox Team has strong libertarian leanings."

When applying libertarianism to economics, the free market is key.

Price floors are anti free market because it is forcing people to sell things at prices that wouldn't normally be reached in a free market price. Which is why shirts, and pants were never 300 tix: 25 robux, because the demand for them wasn't that great since any BC member could create them. T-shirts are an exception because they gave VIP benefits before gamepasses came into existence, VIP benefits made them worth something more than looks.

Price floor are anti free market.

Roblox is now using a price floor.

Roblox has back stabbed the reason why it has become so successful, the free market.

i mean RT (which would be ATR presently) was filled with grievances

Roblox has income tax, sales tax, and now a price floor. It's the opposite of a free market, and with already massive inflation, it hurts the economy even more.

Seriously, did the ROBLOX team never go to college?

you are kidding right?
accounts are a tiny fraction of the storage used up by roblox

MAYBE THEY MEED MONEY TO BUY NEW SERVERS BECAUSE THE OLD ONES ARE FILLED WITH 20 MILLION INACTIVE ALTS

seeing how 3 terabyte HDDs cost $100 and you could probably store trillions of accounts on just 100GB, this isnt an concern
