I appreciate the fact that NBCers are able to use DevProducts, however it's almost as if they weren't able to use it at all.

NBCers have a 90% marketplace fee tax on all dev product sales.

I sold a dev product about 300 times that costs 15 tix each. (1 tix per sale)

I only earned about 250 tix or so (around there).

It's making me not want to sell anything at all.

Also, I just tried paying one of my staff 900 tix, and he only got 90 tix. (Waste)

Seriously, outrageous fee or what???

I understand not letting NBCers earn as much, but could you make it a more reasonable fee?

Its as if you don't get any money at all from your sales.

Anyways, my suggestion is to change it from 90% to 50% for nbcers.

Thanks,
PM

Considering it's a Free account, you're not getting ripped off really. They do it to prevent people from transferring a bunch of money to other players.

No support for those reasons,
but I do support lowering it to 80% at least.

If I make a game for roblox, so their player base grows, I don't think it's too much to ask for a little profit.

If you make a popular game, and you get like 50,000 sale on a 25 robux developer product, that is like 125,000 robux.

In that scenario, I'd be only earning approx 2-3 robux per sale. I consider that a rip-off.

@Protected, but you never paid anything to Roblox anyway, you're using their systems for free, and getting any amount of currency should be a bonus to you anyway. What if they just removed developer products all together for NBC, and you can't get anything from sales?

First of all, I am paying them, just not in USD. In your scenario, and if my 50% tax did pass, They would earn ~13 R$ per sale. These 13 R$ would be drained out of the economy, and would create a higher demand for robux. This is, technically paying them through someone else.

Second of all, if they did take away all of a NBCer's privlidges to earn money, we would have no incentive to make games for them, other than just for the kicks and giggles of it.

Although, I considering gamepasses which give you anything beyond cosmetics a rip-off. Especially if they give you any advantage over other players. Place visits and non-gameplay/ donation gamepasses are sufficient for a profit.

@Robloxking

I'm not debating whether place visits are a good source of income. I'm saying that if I'm selling something (which earns roblox money), I should get more than just place visit income.

And roblox should be thankful people make games for them, and make money for them.

People make games which makes them money?

*Creates a place* - Takes up DataBase = Cost Money
*Fills Game with scripts* - Storage Usage = Cost Money
*Players playing game* - Cost Money to run servers
*Developer (If OBC) uses DevEx - Cost up to $250+ Money

Where is the money being made? Especially from VIRTUAL CURRENCY

How exactly are you being ripped off? You aren't being deprived of anything you actually payed for.

With that said, is the 90% fee a little high? Yeah, I think so. However, one of the allures of BC is significantly lowering that fee. Lower the fee, and you lower the value of BC, even if just by a tiny bit.

Guys, here's how it goes for you greedy NBCers

Pay nothing and you'll get:
10 tix a day
1 active place (bonus 5 if you get veteran badge)
5 groups to join
Ability to play any games allowed for NBCers

Pay something and you'll get the exclusive features. ROBLOX needs the money, you literally want it to go bankrupt?

BC is only $6 for monthly. Is $6 too much to pay? Out of your 20 dollars or something like that, 6 is too much?
