I know people who buy a Paid Access game, and get angry because they paid 25+ robux for a game they didn't like. Well I have an idea, Trials for Paid Access games! The developer can set how many times the user can use the trials. Plus, new functions could be added, like "PlayerIsInTrial", or "UserTrialActive". This means that developers can add special in-game functions for trial players.

Example: Player sees interesting game, but is cautious to buy access. Player sees button "Play Trial", under the button it says, single trial. He then presses "Play Trial". He plays the game. The developer made a game timer for trial players by using "PlayerIsInTrial" to activate a trial timer. Player has fun playing game, but trial timer ends. Player is teleported to a special room, and a gui pops up, telling Player if they buy access in-game, they will get a special gift (like 500 extra game credits, or an exclusive weapon). Player buys Access in-Game and continues playing. Developer makes profit, and Player is happy about not wasting money.

If the Player had already used all his trials, he will not be able to press "Play Trial", and once you buy access, the "Play Trial" button disappears.

You can choose if the trials should be in plays (up to 20 Trial sessions), or hours (up to 72 hours from pressing "Play Trial").

Support. I've probably spent around 500 Robux altogether on games I don't like.

That sounds....AWESOME! Because, paid access games usually end up poorly built. Support!

this really should just be determined by the owner
other than that, sure

@Delta, I think it shouldn't be the owner's choice because they would just be getting more and more robux and tix.

This is one of the better update ideas... Though I notice a couple small flaws in your idea. I am sure ROBLOX could make something close to that idea ^

My point is that roblox shouldn't make it so that builders could have the ability to enable free trials because they want to attract more players by getting lots of money ripping off players of their robux.

Support. I can imagine a fake thumbnail and title, so someone buys the game, and they spawn on nothing but grass. R$50 wasted.
I am also deciding whether to get the Pizzeria Tycoon game early access..
But yeah, total support.

I think rather than a mandatory limit on how often the player can play, the trial mode should be like a legitimate trial. Using the PlayerIsInTrial method, the owner could set his own limits on trial players, whether that be a maximum total playtime or maybe just restricting access to the starter area of the game.

y-eeeeees, i just dont see where the "ripping off" part comes into play
if you mean the kind of practice where they only show the cool bits and the rest turns out to be tripe, yeah i can understand taht

Via gamepasses and datastores, this is techinically possible for the place owner to implement already.

Sorry, when I said "You can choose if the trials should be in plays (up to 20 Trial sessions), or hours (up to 72 hours from pressing "Play Trial")." I meant the Developer can choose the trial type.

Whoops.
