exactly dan but this only got popular BECAUSE of the price floor

why would NBC have to do this so frequently if they could just buy a shirt for like 20 tix?

every price feature roblox induces is for profit


the simple things like roblox shirt prices increase is actually pretty genius due to its simplicity in doing so

On the original price floor blog.

"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."

Funny how off that seems from reality.

how is making a price increase that caused a group to get 240881 members (and more people who have left and joined just to make shirts) dedicated just to make shirts for free (a normally BC-only feature?)

while unrealistic, let's assume that all 240881 members would have bought BC to upload/sell their own clothing. if they all bought regular BC, that's $1,204,405 of potential profit lost

now let's assume only half that number, which is more realistic, would have bought BC:
that's $602,200 of potential profit

its not that

lets say a nbc user wanted to buy shirts/hats

4.99 for idk how many robux

you might think so what right


well imagine a million users having the need to purchase more robux in need for small things like that

it causes a necessity

I'm assuming that is what they were trying to do but most people now end up just taking the asset and uploading it on NBC Shirt Creators. So not only does roblox not get the robux purchase, but the creator of the shirt doesn't get that money either.

Yeah and the price floor was meant to somehow benefit clothing designers, yet now they're losing money because anyone can easily upload any piece of clothing for free
