why get front page developers to do it

why not just outsource the project to someone like Obsidian Entertainment who literally takes any IP thrown at them, the guys at Trion, have a fight with Daddy ZeniMax and get someone there to work on a little game for ROBLOX, maybe Platinum or one of SEGA's studios, etc. etc.


you get real developers, triple A developers, to work on a game and provide an example that it is possible to make a quality game on ROBLOX, inspiring current front page developers to raise the quality of their work to much higher standards, making ROBLOX better able to compete with Kongregate or Steam or that new Polish thing from Projekt Red.

aka money and more indie devs come here

besides it's inflating the economy in favor of the devs with Indie Devents
then you raise robux prices on everything to ensure they can't just buy everything
NBCers and cheapo BCers get mad
so on and so forth

just outsource the project to a triple A developer who doesn't care about ROBUX and will just take the money to make the game somewhat good.

This op needs to stop complaining, the more people complain, the more Roblox will keep doing this.

That doesn't even make sense.


"Update on June 19th, 2013:
As a result of feedback from the Xbox community, we have changed certain policies reflected in this blog. Some of this information is no longer accurate."

-- Microsoft talking about removing XB1 DRM

Assuming a company will do something that it's consumer base clearly doesn't like seems like a child is talking.
That's a child's logic.
It doesn't make sense.

What proof do you have that ROBLOX will continue on with Devents?

Brand name alone sells a lot more than a simple developer no one has ever heard of maybe eventually some day making somewhat of a decent game.

If that wasn't true then shovelware for PC, console, and mobile wouldn't exist.

they sell based on the Iron Man name, or Warhammer name, or something like that.
They make lots of money.
They don't put anything into it.


What sells better is good games from well known studios.
Compare the copies sold of TESIII: Morrowind to TESV: Skyrim.
In 2003, Bethesda was a nobody.
They were bankrupt.
They made a good game.
They got on the map.
They made tons of money.
5 million copies across all platforms.

In 2011, if you didn't know who Bethesda is
you don't deserve to call yourself a "gamer".
They sold 12 million copies on PC alone.
PC alone.
And they're still selling like hot cakes.
4 years later.


Plus, ROBLOX really need to raise the development standards of front page developers.
They're all in general, lazy, cut corners, they do anything to take money in for themselves and only advertise on ROBLOX, and not external media.
They don't parade their work all over the internet, they do it just here.
That's not bringing more people to ROBLOX, and that's not really generating ROBLOX money.
The robux spent is ROBLOX already in circulation anyway, unless there is a real need for more money.
They get their robux for free, from daily bonus farming or ticket farming, etc. etc.

ROBLOX doesn't really profit from the front page devents right now.

@OP knows his stuff.
