Firstly, there is a html error on the upgrade now page, there is an extra column to the table, either that or something is not loading properly. Secondly I am vaguely curious as to the details of this, I can understand removing lifetime BC as they have no way to guarantee the service will last that long and some very picky person probably complained. Although "lifetime" bc lasts one hundred years rather than being permanent. Perhaps a person who was 101 years old got offended and sued Roblox... I slightly doubt that one though I am still vaguely curious, I was about to buy lifetime BC and I was like "wait what?". I wonder if it is a permanent change or not. |

Yeah, weird.
Its odd to see only 2 options for BC.

Either they temporarily removed it or it's gone forever.
My conspiracy is that they removed it so people would be forced to renew. They basically did it to get more money. Think about it like this, the charges are automatic on the person's credit card. When the lifetime OBC was there, its cost was $350.. annual is 129.95 a year now and this would look like a better deal to some people. So now instead of lifetime, the person would have to renew their OBC every year for the cost of $129.95.. this means every 3 years they make about a $40 profit extra than what that person would have paid for in 100 years! So basically this is all so they could make extra cash.
But that is only my thoughts on why they did this... but I could be wrong and it could just come back soon, but I hope you understand what I was trying to say.
Cheers. |

That's sad, as in pathetic.
Maybe Agnes whateverherlastnameis sued because she had a Roblox account when she was 9, bought lifetime OBC, and it (would have) ended this Saturday. |

I like it how in that link they don't elaborate in how it "makes Roblox better" and just says it does, if they don't give reasons people will assume the worst, at least if they give a bad reason, no one will assume a reason worse than that, still they should at least fix the HTML on the upgrade now page...

"We've made these changes as part of our continued efforts to make ROBLOX even better."
How exactly does this help ROBLOX? |

Roblox, you've seriously tanked, this is done "for a better experience" what this honestly does is debilitate that once good experience. I understand that your member base has tanked because of bad decisions in the past, but this is going to put a nail in the coffin instead of actually helping. You are just milking what little you have.
What are you gonna do when that cow dries roblox? |
