| The term of "free-to-play" is completely correct on terms. As long as you can play the game for free, it's free. They could have a load of microtransactions, but if you can play it for free, it's technically "free-to-play". This is something people are blind of and companies exploit this alot. Roblox IS free to play because you can sign up and play. Sure there's BC games, but majority of games on Roblox are free, so it's free-to-play. |

Roblox is way more free than MOST free-to-play games out there. As far as making and playing games are concerned, it is really free.

I can get all membership bonuses in TF2 by paying a cent.
Trading, increased item rate, rare hats.
I have to pay 200 dollars minimum if I want to get the lowest membership bonuses.
Yeah, it's "free" in the same way that a demo is free. |

Then why are you able to post and play games? Is that costing you money?
Stop yapping your trap if you're just going to talk smack. |

Larn, I've played a lot of games, and roblox is definitely one of those games that try to string you out of money.
Customization is a large part of a game

You mean earn your business right? Do you not understand a business? Economics? You should probably try to learn about life before you criticize it. |

dude you can play this game for five years and still have access to 95% of the hats, still able to fully use ROBLOX studio, buy any clothing, earn currency like everyone else.
you're absolutely stupid if you think this game is not free to play |

The core game is open to everyone for free. I don't see why you're complaining. |

i agree with him
it's free in the same way a demo is free
the BC features outweigh the NBC features now
you could argue
foruming, playing certain games, buying hats you can afford (realistically not very many)
but trading hats, playing pay to play games (come on, you can't realistically make much money as an NBC person) buying most limiteds, selling hats, having more than one place, customizing your character more, getting daily robux
outweigh
that |

@Damp
95% of the hats?
Okay. sure.
It takes 10 days to buy a single piece of clothing, I don't know how a free player has access to 95% of the hats
@Dr.Saint
Yes, I understand economics. But this game takes it too far at times.
Haven't you seen the steadily increasing bc only features? Increasing the price floor isn't an issue for those who have robux, but it takes away customization from new/free players.
And since nobody is really complaining now and just buys more robux/bc, roblox is going to see how far they can push it. |

@math i think its 5 cents but you need steam credits from something else so it can be 5 dollars if tf2 is your first steam game (for most new people it is) |

@tccool
It's 0.49 cents, also you still have to pay 5$ in the first place because valve's greedy and won't just let you buy it for 49 cents. |

| You are trying to push your idea as if it makes a difference. Stop coming up with the same argument and re stating it. I already put out my point for the exact same argument. Dropping this conversation. |

customising your character is simply aesthetic only and the core gameplay is still open to you although its pretty hard to get popular without bc, you can play the game all you want i did for 3 years |

oh yeah roblox is meant to be a game where you make a game and you make money off of it, not where you live off of a 'daily stipened'. Make a good game. I get average ~1,500 tickets JUST FROM PLACE VISITS. Ugh, these people. |
