Ok you try to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars every month for servers.
Go on, do it.

Oh? You can't? Well try operating at breakpoint, OR accept sponsors and get a good deal of cash.


Because I am smart, and I like to dance with my brain.

They seemed to manage just fine without the sponsors every month.

Yeah but I remember NobleDragon even said ROBLOX operates at breakpoint, if you're not aware of what that means.. it means they barely have any extra money.

Sponsors help them get the extra money so they can add new features for developers and the users. Sure, the sponsor events aren't that fun, but you got to understand that ROBLOX is changing and it's getting bigger.

Violence actually has a point. But come on, they could have skipped christmas. They could have made it kind of small like they did the disney infinity event

Where did he say that? Oh yeah sure, let's sellout so we have extra cash so we can make more features for the community that we are ruining.

I wish they would present them in a better way though, If they just made sponsored events more appealing then people wouldn't complain.

They gave us giftsplosion, and they tried to make everyone happy by including everyone in to it, but you still throw a temper tantrum. This is why the admins stopped making events to, because people always complained about how ROBLOX put no effort in to it.

I wouldn't be complaining if they didn't throw some sponsored item into generic trash ROBLOX games that have been on the front page all year round. I'm sick of going to ROBLOX High School and finding a hat. It's boring and stupid. I don't even feel comfortable calling it an event.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I do believe ROBLOX should have a sponsor tab and leave major events alone.

But they aren't going to do that for.. whatever reason I guess.

rocrap is not greedy. Every company needs money or they will go bankrupt, and rocrap is no exception. Back in two thousand and six, rocrap had a fraction of the players they do today so they could survive just by selling robux and having advertisements on the website. But soon they needed more money and in two thousand and seven, builder's club was released. Rocrap was making a profit now, until two thousand and eleven when once again they were going to need more money if they wanted to continue bringing online daters together. For years the evil Erik Cassel was preventing rocrap from making the money required to improve roblox, but now rocrap was free to implement video advertisements on the website. Paid access, game passes, developer products, and the price floor were added to encourage the purchasing of robux, and to help the economy of course! It wouldn't be long until more money would be needed because of all the alternative accounts being created to spam our messages and the comments. Developer events, many sponsors, and even sponsored developer events were necessary to save roblox the one hundred million dollars needed to create an event. Video advertisements in-game were added to help pay for the new profile layout. Features had to be removed from non-builder's club users so they would be more enticed to upgrade, and six-month and lifetime builder's club memberships had to be removed because rocrap was losing too much money from them. Soon, it's possible that the price of all builder's club memberships will need to be increased. Even after all of this they are still not making enough money, which is why every event from now on will need to be a sponsored developer event. Rocrap can't ban spammers or phishers because they will quit and not renew their builder's club membership and rocrap will go bankrupt even quicker.Rocrap has thousands of servers and some of the things they're used for are: processing one hundred thousand database requests per second (with a little help from rocrap plus), running millions of game instances, storing close to if not more than ten billion character thumbnails, thirty thousand web-farm requests per second, and handling more than one petabyte of cdn traffic per month! So before you start thinking rocrap is greedy, just remember all of the hours rocrap spends making assets for sponsors, implementing new features such as video advertisements in-game on all platforms or t-shirt rentals, making a new profile layout, or removing features such as the green circle, the thousands of servers running instances of adopt and raise a baby or eighteen+ games, and the electricy used to run the servers that reject your legitimate assets, and maybe you will realize that it costs trillions of dollars per day to keep rocrap running. Yet day after day I continue seeing uninformed rocrapians claiming that rocrap is greedy but providing no proof! It's unfortunate that they aren't able to realize how hard rocrap works to make as much money as possible to provide an enjoyable ten-minute gaming experience(long enough to purchase all game passes and multiple dev products and brag about being the best in the server) for them. Since they hate rocrap so much, why don't they just single-handedly create something better than the project that took tens of thousands of hours and millions of dollars. After they understand the work required, I bet they'll never say rocrap is greedy again.

Barely any extra money? I've been on this game for 6-7 years and trust me. They are the biggest sellouts ever. Also their customer service excists out of a monkey with no brains.
You obviously have no idea how many kids buy builders club, VIP servers, audio, limiteds, robux and I can go on. They have more then enough funds but they always want more like every self centered prick.

Can't blame them if they keep ignoring the part of their game that knows what's going on.
