So hey guys lets do the math....

FORMULA - 35,000x = 10,000,000$

If i wanted to purchase 10 Million Robux it would cost me:
-$57200 Estimate



If i wanted to cashout my 10 Million Robux I would recieve:
-$10000


So you tell me is it fair to only be getting 1/6 of the money back?

1/6 = 17% Roblox gets 83%

You decide is it fair?

You have problems.

They're not forcing you to buy from them and sell back to them. That's like buying a car for 20,000, than going to a scrapyard and demanding 20,000 for it. That's not how things work.

If you were smart, you'd learn how to get that 10M robux through making a great game. True that 10M is worth more originally, but they're selling that 10M to thousands and thousands of BC players, who spend it on your game, which you sell back to them for USD. They're not scamming the BC players though, they chose to buy BC.

You do not understand as a person playing on roblox the value of the robux does not equal anything close to what they paid for.

What are YOU not freaking getting? So WHAT? So what if they buy back the Robux for 10x less USD than the payed for? That's how every successful business works. What do you offer as a solution?

Why would you buy robux in the first place just to cashout?

If they paid you how much it costed to BUY robux, ROBLOX would go bankrupt. As the previous guy said, that's like purchasing a car, driving around in it a bit, returning it, and expecting to get the purchase price back.

Your first mistake is that you're buying money to cash out money.

Well if they actually want to compete with any other game developer companies then this should be changed otherwise they will never grow.

The DevEx is for people who earn their robux, not those who purchase them. It would be an economic impossibility for us to cash robux out at the same rate that we sell them.

You're putting it in the scenario that someone would BUY robux just to turn around and sell them.

You don't have to pay ANYTHING to get robux, you just make a game and they come flowing.

stop complaining like a kid pls, theres nothing wrong with roblox allowing you to turn your robux into real money vs. stupid hats

Wow, are you really just this stupid?

Devex isn't for people to buy ROBUX, then sell them back to ROBLOX.
Devex isn't for "Money back"
Devex is for players who get ROBUX through games they've developed.

ROBLOX still has to pay it's employees, as well as pay for tons of servers.
ROBLOX is being more than fair.

Why would you buy money to cash out? That's idiotic. Of course you don't get close to the same amount of money. Its because they didnt intent for you to do that. They want you to buy some robux, maybe 1k, and use that to make a game which will make you 1 million.

You got the difference because you cashed out the money you bought with. Which is not how DevEx works.

We're not saying you did. Everything we're saying is just to correct your scenario.

Its clearly fine by me they can do what they like but real developers will not use this on such a bad ratio.

It's like buying a stock! You're making an investment! I have over 100k Robux as an NBC player who has NEVER ONCE purchased anything from Roblox with cash. If I buy OBC, I'll make money. You don't even make your own games, I don't under
forget it

Woah, chill a little bit.

Obviously there is a difference; people have been stating valid points about why and you choose to ignore them. As Gordon stated, ROBLOX would go into bankruptcy if the exchange rates were the same both ways. Some random noob could buy 35k robux, TC it to 40k, and make easy profit, while ROBLOX is losing profit.
