Selling access to a game is a poor way to get players, and I've never liked pay-to-win games.

If this goes through, that'll be the end of me building any games...

There isn't much TO do. As far as I can tell, they're doomed.

Exposure isn't a fair trade...

And the NBC's are considered the free players, anything you sell to boost the game will make it unfair to them...

1. nobody cares if you're leaving roblox. literally nobody.

2. "the free players" exactly why NBCs don't DESERVE fairness. they're essentially leeches in a way, so be very damn happy that this game is free to play at all.

Oddly, its only the BC members that are defending this, the ones that it won't affect...

Its a social website, they sell ads for pages, so no, NBC isn't a group of leeches...

You misunderstand...
The webpage is covered in external ads, that NBC users see.

I don't think any indie developer has ever managed to get their game popular without risking some money on ads. It's possible if you have a good game, people will get their friends in it and advertise for you.

Look at that, if an NBC wanted to advertise their game, now they'll have to pay real money for it!

@Doom,

While I don't particularly agree with inzomnia's opinion of NBCers....

The ads argument is pretty weak.

Try this,


@Inzomnia

Appreciate the NBCers

They play a more important role in this site than you may think

They might not directly contribute to the sites funds,

But they are a very integral part of the site,

Let me explain,

Sites like roblox and kongregate are hard sells,

There's no bar for quality
Most of the developers are inexperienced
Most of the developers are lone wolves, one guy working in the entire game

With the above problems,
you can't possibly sell roblox access,
that is the dumbest thing you can do,
Literally the dumbest.
No sane person would buy roblox.


And since the majority of active roblox players are NBC, they are the majority of those "4727" players online in "retail tycoon" are NBCers

Just imagine how unpopulated roblox would be without them,

Wait,
you don't need to imagine,

go to your typical BC only game and see for yourself.

"NBCers don't pay for ads" That's a pretty blunt statement
