| Roblox makes around the 400 Million marker or so yearly, we all know a corporation isn't free, neither are the servers. It costs some bucks, they spend about 20k a month, now if we add that up in a year. We get 240k. There are other factors determining price also. Now we all know what DevEx is, A devex on average yearly makes 200k-500k. Now we all know there are MULTIPLE people using DevEx. Now this is just an estimate, but probably about...lets say 50 people use DevEx. (Just an estimate!). Now if 50 dev's make 300k a year and we add that up, we get 150 Million. Which is a lot. Since Roblox makes around the 400-500 million a year or so mark. We reduced a lot of money. Now, we don't stop there, we all know each company has to have employees, each job has a different amount. A senior software engineer salary 139,117-16k, a moderator makes about 10 Bucks an hour. Now lets, just focus on ONE job title, if roblox has over 100 senior software engineers, in total that's 13 million. ON ONE JOB TITLE ALONE. Now I havn't even added HALF of what roblox spends. Which would be too in depth. Now only making 3370 yearly, and that's without ALL the costs. The point is, Roblox has more than enough money to make the whole community equal. And they really do favor BC'ers, NBC'ers should get more privileges then they do now. |

The bigger a community gets the more problems it will have.
Therefor, the community was practically doomed from the start. |

| They have to make as much money as possible. Isn't that the goal of every company? |

| Yes, they make money and that's the point. I should've touched more on why I posted this. If they make over 300 Million a year. Then Prices, including BC and catalog items. Should not be as expensive as they are now. |

Incorrect.
Roblox is in a sense, like real money. Think of it this way, a 2,000 dollar pack of robux costs 24 USD. If we average that up, each robux costs around 8 cents. So yes, Catalog items are kinda like real world money.
