| If I make a developer product for a starting place for a universe does it add PP to every place in the universe? Hmm? |

| I've never used them, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you have a universal pool of PP that all your games use. |

^ They're pointless, you cannot buy/sell them, they prove absolutely nothing, and there is no bragging rights to them. |

^ And yet, the major ROBLOX demographic (little kids) finds value in them, which makes flashy places with a lot of PP very enticing. |

| If they're so useless why don't they remove achievements from Xbox and Playstation and Steam? They don't do anything either. |

| Global points are being removed, btw. The leaderboards are already gone, and you'll have infinite points to award; but, they don't add to any sort of global points. |

| Nooo I like PP the way they are. By making them not global they're basically something we can already do in-game. Also lol at people thinking they're pointless. |

| They entice people to play your game, therefore they have a point (the point is to get more people to play your game). Proof of this is the existence of groups made for players that want to gather as many PP as possible, and the thousands of players that have joined these groups. If you don't want your points, I'll take them. |

If PP became local and limitless, I can bet that the inflation rate on points will be very high for quite a few places. Like this:
Week 1: "Oh, you're a new player, and you only want to get to the #1 spot, but the #1 guy has 10,000 points and it would take a whole week of playing to get there? Okay then, all points are 10x from now on. Good luck!"
Week 2: "Oh, you're a new player, and you only want to get to the #1 spot, but the #1 guy has 100,000 points and it would take a whole week of playing to get there? Okay then, all points are 10x from now on. Good luck!"
Week 3: "Oh, you're a new player, and you only want to get to the #1 spot, but the #1 guy has 1,000,000 points and it would take a whole week of playing to get there? Okay then, all points are 10x from now on. Good luck!"
...
Week 7: "Oh crap, everyone has 2,147,483,647 points." |

| And what does PP say about a player? They have skill? No, because they vary in difficulty to obtain and amount obtained from game to game. Their game addicts? No, for the same exact reason. Their rich? No, a player doesn't technically have to spend anything on PP. So what does PP say? Absolutely nothing.Therefore, since they don't mean anything, they are pointless. |

| It doesn't say anything about a player, I never said it did. Nowhere did I say that was their point. For a game developer trying to get visits/robux, something people value that in reality has no meaning is very, very useful. To a ROBLOX game developer, having more player points means you have more advertising power for your game and buyable items. Now we have both game developers and average players wanting player points, albeit for different reasons, which extends the advertising power to both average players and game developers. |

| If PP become local to games they may become useless, that all depends on what effect it has on players trying to acquire games. My bet is it will make famous games stay famous longer and non-famous games have a tougher time, as players will focus on the leaderboard for specific games. I hope this does not happen. |
