Still, "technically" I would like to buy stuff again. Why? Who's choice was it?

This is what ROBLOX says about the price floor:


Why are we making this change? There are three main reasons:

Raise the quality of items in the catalog.
Reward makers and sellers of clothing.
To incentivize non-paying users to buy ROBUX.

blizzard's older WoW servers consist of blade machines (13250 of them,to be exact) that run redhat linux,and all of them combined give 75000 CPU (a hexacore xeon costs about three grand) cores and 112.5 TERAbytes (1 terabyte = 1000 gigabytes) and even at this point it's considered deprecated.
if you do some math that costs more than seven million dollars right on the dot,AND they have to pay staff/heating/cooling for the server rooms (server rooms use special air cond,very expensive) so imagine what roblox is paying for an even BIGGER game.

Roblox practically lied to us about it being a free game. All companies who own these types of games do that. Free Realms is one of them.
