Here, you were expecting a contradiction of the above statement.
Wrong.
I have come here to explain price floors from a business stand point. Many people first think that a business should always be about the customer, but the truth is ,it is about the money you hold which they truly want.

I know this sounds kind of ugly, but first, think about everything that needs paying for. Wages for their staff, Food for their canteen-you wouldn't want them to starve, servers in order to hold the games up.
Many uninformed players do not know that in fact servers do indeed cost money to keep one.

Now lets think why roblox did the price floor-I'm going to quote myself in a previous thread.
"Did you expect them to pay with their tix/rbx?" Ask your self that. They can't create money out of thin air...and I very much doubt you can too. Sure, they can act sweet, say that they do care about the gamers, and like I said, they want the money, just like you would in a profitable career you could perhaps be planning on.

I want to expand on this. Now lets think for a second. Roblox, as much as they want your $/£ they actually allow games to be free. Many features are still available such as groups,having the ability to still buy clothes(they could very well make this BC only), build places, and forum, which I'm presuming a lot of you do, if you're reading this.

All they would need to do is snap their fingers, and every feature would be taken away, just like that(at least for NBC'ers). Then, all those greedy threads, which you think is bad now, would absolutely implode then, but the truth is, even if it was P2P, you shouldn't even complain, since its up to them.
Think of it as a console game, they're not free, and even if they are, you would usually require in game real life purchases in order to progress the game(therefore spending money).

If you don't like it, the Logout button is FREEEEEEEEEE

ROBLOX can handle a small business. They're fine without price floors.

ROBLOX needs money to keep up, the servers cost millions of dollars to run every single day.

You are certainly one of those people I see everywhere.

The least thing ROBLOX can help for their economy is drop price floors.

I mean they dramatically lowered price a week ago to where everyone benefits so why are there 20 threads on the front page about something they corrected a week ago?

@100, you still have to pay the servers.

Its actually, still free. Are you FORCED to buy clothes? NO.

However, I know people have to wait. But you just have to wait for a week. But do you also buy clothes every day? I don't really think so. Even I don't change my outfit for a few weeks. And by then you'll have enough for a shirt AND a pant!

I'm pretty sure the issue is that they made something that used to be practically free require money/ more game currency.

Also, how do you expect Roblox to pay developers and run every separate server without a premium feature?

Putting a price on the logout button is pretty smart
