they say 'it improves user experience'
that's obvious bull, since having more options for BC is handier but they simply want more money
but I can't blame them at all, they have upkeep for their servers and all that... but still, i think they did fine even with those more options. |

@Per
Not true, roblox is a for profit company and I can see why they would remove it. A company wanting to profit does not make them greedy.
They probably removed it because it was a part of the membership feature that was not beneficial to them so it was removed

| They are greedy, first they create price floors, now this. Also, creating 'online' currency costs NO money, therefore even if 1000 robux was 1 dollar/pound etc. they would still make money. As it is, with a very popular game, they are making more than enough profit and I don't see how taking away the 6 months option helps them in any way. |

You have absolutely not idea whatsoever how much it costs to run a company as massive as roblox. You don't have the feintist of clues on why they would of done this update, It actually makes sense.
Imagine that they only had one option, 1 monthly. They would be making around a fixed amount of income
Now if they introduced another 6 month option they would introduce it as a bargain deal, that users can get more for less
The thing is that they don't expect these users to stay on as long as they are, they are thinking that the mass amount of users who buy a membership are not going to exploit it to its full potential. So many people are though, with the introduction of DevEx and other features they have unintentionally dug their own grave, they are making themselves lose money. It makes sense to remove it correct?
Don't get me started on price floors, it has helped the USERS in so many ways

Okey dokey, firstly, you are telling the wrong person that they don't have the "faintest" idea how to run a business, because I do and I am running one currently. Secondly, I do understand how a multi-national business such as Roblox is run and I have studied it. Roblox is in fact an easier business to run than many because it requires MUCH less staff and employees. Roblox is making money like it never has before, with so many new users and so many users which have been here for so long. It does not need to remove the 6 month membership at all. I don't understand your point, where they lose money. I thought I explained that they can't lose money on BC and Robux, because it costs NOTHING to make, it is an online currency, it isn't real in the outside world. Introducing new features is just to make even more money. The DevEx option was most likely created because it can attract customers from all over the world who wouldn't mind a bit of money, so they join up. The reality is that it is much harder than just creating a popular place.
Don't get me started on the price floors, it really hasn't helped anyone, increasing the price of clothing so that people can't afford anything unless they buy premium membership or currency, really takes a lot from the game. The clothing seller, should be able to decide whether they want to have the price high or low. That was part of the fun. Now groups are being ruined because NO ONE can afford the uniforms. |

(I would love to hear about your business but lets address that later)
The fact that you still don't understand why they would remove a paid for feature says plenty on your understanding of the subject. Whether or not the product is physically real or not is not important, its the profit they can make off of it is what should be focused on.
Roblox is (obviously) gaining users at a ridiculous rate, it isn't like a real life company at all, the costs to running the company drastically rises for the amount of customers that use their service apposed to purchasing it. That's what makes roblox and other online gaming studios/companies so much more different then any other company, they need to focus on how to reduce costs a lot more than finding profit. Even if reducing costs falls under something as sponsored events or advertising.
Let me state my point in a differnt way.
Say that roblox expects its users to leave statistically after about 3 months of playing, some users may want to purchase a monthly membership because they are unsure about this game or they simply don't have the money to spend. If the average user was the leave after 3 months that's fine, expect the user may not know that. Why not put up a 6 month feature? They would have the person leave halfway through their membership. The money wouldn't go into the roblox economy and people would continue to purchase robux without it losing it's value (theoretically)
The thing is that isn't happening, when they introduced something like DevEx they gave a reason for the users to stay, to use their membership to its full potential and putting the company at a disadvantage. They are simply losing potential money
I'm not going to talk about the costs of running roblox because that is an entire other paragraph that I simply do not want to type but I think I'm getting my point across here.
To summarize what I'm saying.
Users are staying on and using their memberships more than roblox wants, they want users to purchase memberships for as much or as frequently as possible. How do they do that? Remove the center. Ether a small amount or a ton

I completely understand your point and where you are coming from. However, there are many, many ways to make more money, but cutting the amounts of BC you can get isn't a great way of doing that. It simply angers the members. If they had thought about it, they wouldn't have added more BC options in the first place! Yes, as Roblox grows, the costs increase, but so does the many millions of dollars in profit. If they really cared about making more profit, why don't they get more ads? No one really cares about ads and if you're BC, you just get bombarded with user's ads, so I don't get why they don't just add them. About the costs, again, there are many more ways to reduce costs than taking away 6 months BC. I don't get how taking away 6 months BC cuts costs in any way, what so ever. It just increases profit, to cover costs. Why don't they just increase the price of 6 months BC if they are so worried about costs? I don't mind if they increase the cost, I just want the option of 6 months.
If roblox expects it's customers to leave after 3 months or anything under a year, after the amount of time since roblox was created, then they are crazy and probably would have gone bust many years ago. Roblox expects it's users to use their BC to the full, otherwise, if they took away their BC, it would be called fraud and the site would be sent down, or at least fined, a lot.
I read some where that there was a scam or something to do with 6 months. Maybe to do with that.
FYI, I would rather not disclose personal details, which you could find were you to find my business. |

You still don't seem to be grasping all of what I said but you did make a few good points
Increasing the price range could of been beneficial, I can agree with you on that. We however do not have enough information to make have an educated understanding of that
The thing is that like I said before roblox isn't like other companies, every gaming company has to be on its toes and assume that players won't be on for long. There is no exceptions to that
All in all a lot of your arguments seem to be based on ether assumptions or your personal opinion

| Roblox knowing that people will stay on longer than YOUR assumptions is a fact. Most of the things I have said are in fact facts. You are wrong about gaming companies making assumptions upon people not staying on for long. Most gaming companies want people to stay on longer. Ads, Membership etc. all help the money input for a company. The more they play the more attached they get, the more they want memberships, deals etc. This game is no different. |

I'm not saying that they won't be trying to influence them to stay on longer, as I said they are not assumptions it was hypothetical, there is a big difference.

ROBLOX is Greedy here's why:
1. BC originally was 4.95, but was raised to 5.95. So now when you want BC and Robux you can't. So buying a 10 dollar card means you can only get BC regardless the 4 dollars left on your account useless.
2. Price floors, seriously? The shirts were fine at 2 robux and 5 tix, so they raised the prices to 30 robux and 500 tix, but after complaints it was lowered to 10 robux and 100 tix.
3. Market Fee- Ok due to this roblox takes away 30% of what you get. which means by selling or buying, you get a 30% fee off the robux you were originally suppposed to make. That means if someone donated to you 1000 robux for a hat, you would get 700. Just like when you sell a limited aswell. or put paid access, there's STILL a market fee. Which means you have to ask like 2-3 people just so I can get 1000 robux due to the 30% market fee.
