ROBLOX is a business. It's meant to make money. There wouldn't be even 10% of the video games there are today if they didn't make money.
ROBLOX makes features that expand upon their membership to make free-to-play members want to buy membership. Like every online game that has a membership.
ROBLOX does emphasize on their membership by telling you about various features around the website, to show you while you're using the game to make you get the "I want that" sensation. Like every online game that has membership.
ROBLOX does get easier if you buy a membership, making membership seem more worthwhile. Like every online game that has a membership.
In terms of how ROBLOX makes you want to spend money, they're really doing nothing new. They're using the same methods that everyone else uses, and not even to that huge of an extent. Overall, they're average.
The main difference is that ROBLOX's community complains about everything. I'm not pointing fingers, but I seriously doubt that there's a single update that ROBLOX could employ that wouldn't cause the forums to uproar in how "bad" it is.
Look at 3.0 bodies. In terms of appearance, there really isn't much wrong with it. Along with that, it's fully optional and you used to have to work towards getting one. There were forum posts like "I LITERALLY THREW UP".
Look at "featherweight parts". The "Part" instance was going to be recreated so that they wouldn't cause as much of a strain on your computer, making players lag less. Players commonly complained about how it would affect the properties of them in-game, causing glitches. Something they would have NO WAY OF KNOWING ABOUT, and obviously didn't.
Look at OBC membership. Arguably, it gives you too much. I highly doubt any player could fully create 100 places, with the intent of them actually being of good quality. The players call it "overpowering" and "a scam". But the truth is, you'd have to pay REAL MONEY for it, and you'd get a bonus. You'd get what you pay for, therefor it's a bad thing.

TL;DR, the only problem with ROBLOX and the affiliated business practices is the players, and they'll push the blame at all cost. |

"Dude, shut up, we know. "
That's obviously not the case, based on the complaints people still make. |

OP,
Well obviously reviving the flame-bait topic doesn't help make the controversy better. |

The people making the complaints are uneducated. This is the information that changes that. |

I'm well aware of the reasons. I just want other people to. I feel that, if people should complain about something, they know whether or not they should complain about it. |

No seriously, you're right. Roblox is just doing what every other gaming company does to make money, basically |

The government is giving ROBLOX all the money it doesn't have. |

Exactly.
The united states is in more debt, than the country as a whole is worth.
U.S.A as a whole's net worth = 16.82 trillion
The debt = 17 trilion+ |
