Ok, please bear with me on this - I'll try to make this as clear as possible. So many people are easily tricking people to play their 'fake' free modeled game, and the owners of models get no profit at all from it. My idea was to add a pice tag to models, with the minimum fee of 5 tix/1 robux.

Now, as much as people hate to buy model JUST to learn, let's look at some professional game dev. programs. Unity for example, has a store with items pricing from $1 to $1000. Of course, there are a few free items, most small though.

This system will
1.) Keep free model games from coming up on the front page less often
2.) let owners make profit from models
3.) Encourage people willing to learn how to make their own games, instead of using free models.

Another idea I had in mind is to let BC users get all models for a smaller price, hence the title 'Builder's Club'. This will not only give ROBLOX more money to pay for more servers/features, but make Builder's Club have a bigger use, and live by its name.


If you managed to read this whole thing, post you're opinion. If you disagree, tell me why, and what you think ROBLOX should do.

This will also encourage people to make their own models, and try to get profit off of them.

I don't think placing a fee on every model would help the situation very much.
That kind of fee would be trivial to most of the notorious copiers, it would just hurt those people who legitimately want to learn from free models, or pull together a quick and fun hangout for their friends or something.
I think it would be nice if people had the option to sell higher-quality models at a certain price, but there's nothing stopping someone who bought it to re-release it to everyone else for free.

I believe that the community should get a hand pick at all of the models available, whether they are male, female, 10, 16, NBC, BC - it doesn't matter. In the end, they should be allowed to have access to the Free Models like everyone else.

Most models are copied from the original owner, so it will be like T-Shirt copying all over again - so selling them isn't worth the hassle.

''Another idea I had in mind is to let BC users get all models for a smaller price,''
Defeats the object really, most of the ''game copiers'' out there have BC anyway, so it's in their favour to get these prices as low as possible.


All in all, I'm not really for this idea.

One objection to free model prices though,
Like price floor, more people will just pirate models and eventually ROBLOX will say 'YEP,OBC ONLY FOLKS!'



I say we BURN all the free models and NEVER see them again!

I hate when people ignore the word Free in Free models.
They won't ever be limited or paid, then they would be called Paid models, silly.

They should also create a property on all objects that is locked upon saving to roblox named "Modifications".
This allows things like custom property guns to be changeable in scripts, or values to be changed.
The "Model" object would not be able to be ungrouped or have individual parts selected and moved if it is enabled.

Let me say something.

This is a great idea, but the thing is.

Many people play games and want to create their own. I have created MANY but in the end, I get about 40-50 plays and it's done in a few months.

There are many people influenced to create games, and have no building skills, example-me.

But listen, your reason 3 on the list, does not encourage people to make games if it has a price. Why spend 5 tix on one model, in the end spending over 200 tix for a few models and then earning 10 tix back in return for game plays.

I disagree with your idea for roblox, sorry.

I don't support. The reason I'm pretty much on this site still is for studio. I know basic Lua but I still use free models to help teach me on occasion. I don't even save the models into my game. It wouldn't be very fair to NBC'ers either, as they would have to save up just to learn off of one.
