I always thought tickets were kinda outdated. They're completely worthless now, so removing daily ticket income will not majorly affect anybody. I also kinda like the idea of removing free currency, because now NBC users need to learn to either make their own dang money(through making a good game) or not care about their virtual appearance(or just settle with the new free clothing).

...Oof...
Too bad making a good game won't earn anyone money either. You NEED to sell gamepasses, even if your game just won't work with them, to get any money.

and BC users earn their own money? And no, tickets are NOT outdated. BC users don't make their own money either, they get the money handed to them. Paying for money is redundant if you think about it.

I'm aware of the fact that game visits won't give tickets either, so clearly people need to implement game gear and game passes. People will need to make games good enough so that people want to buy the game passes and game gear. This might initially cause people to make less money than without the visit tickets, but since this update will affect EVERYONE the economy will adjust

@anajay2
This update really only affects NBC users since BC users get their own income of Robux. People with BC are much better off buying clothing and other stuff than NBC users. Consider this: OBC users get 60 R$ every day they login, which could buy some clothes but not a lot. For a NBC user, it would take about 120 DAYS to make that much robux from daily ticket logins. It takes about 4 months of daily logins just to buy some of the lower priced clothing items in the catalog. Do you not see how useless the daily ticket income is as opposed to the daily BC income?

Gamepasses aren't a requirement for games, and neither is gear.
For a significant amount of income to be made from ROBLOX games a gamepass that makes the game "pay-to-win" or "pay-to-enjoy" will need to exist, or even just make the game paid access as a whole.

What if I want to make a game without people needing to waste their hard-earned money on my gamepasses? Are you saying for any money to be made we NEED to?
Why is having 100% of a game's content playable without extra purchases such an alien concept?

Looks like you want ROBLOX to turn in to EA.

It's not like every game is going to turn into a pay-to-enjoy. There will be plenty of games that people are able to enjoy without paying anything. Why? Because not everybody is going to be greedy and make every aspect of their game cost Robux. Many people will make their game enjoyable without paying anything, because that's how you get people to keep playing your game and possibly commit to paying for something later if there's anything to buy.

if you want to make a game without people spending money on it then you shouldn't care about gaining any money from it.

I'd also like to point out that Roblox did say that they are going to add more methods for obtaining Robux, but since they didn't specify we'll just have to wait and see.

"There will be plenty of games that people are able to enjoy without paying anything. Why? Because not everybody is going to be greedy and make every aspect of their game cost Robux."

The biggest incentive for ROBLOX developers is money. If someone can't make money from a game, they flat out won't make that game.
People who do as you describe only really do that because they make a sufficient amount through visits. When that is gone? Welp!

"Many people will make their game enjoyable without paying anything, because that's how you get people to keep playing your game and possibly commit to paying for something later if there's anything to buy."

Question, how do you expect people to pay for that thing when it comes along if they have no form of income for themselves?

"if you want to make a game without people spending money on it then you shouldn't care about gaining any money from it."

That's not how it works. If I'm going to make it a game it needs to be worth my time, that's the same with every other game developer out there.

I wanted to make a game that teaches physics. I won't make this game because I can't even make 10 TIX of it. For me the TIX were always some kind of way to see how successful I was, they had meaning behind them, they were the only form of currency. I wouldn't have joined roblox if there was no TIX.

Without TIX I would've felt poor on some level and wouldn't have played on.

"greedy and make every aspect of their game cost Robux."

"greedy and make"

"greedy"

That's quite invalid, though. People who aren't greedy are still going to do it if they want to turn any profit at all.

I don't think you understand the Roblox community and devs. They aren't going to make it for people to enjoy, they are just trying to make hundreds of robux/tix; nor does the devs care about the people who play it... all they want is money.

While we're giving them our wallets for robux, they get real money. They've become pretty greedy lately, think. Why do you think they really removed tickets? I don't really think they cared that all the newbies didn't know how to use tickets. They hardy care what anyone says, or ROBLOX wouldn't as horrible as it is now. They used to listen to us more, but not now.

Also, I'm talking about the staff, not the devs. The devs used to care alot about fame, now you're right, money is all they see. Btw, us NBC users couldn't get people to join our games, because, uh I don't know, maybe they don't have a place for just NBC games where the NBC users look for games, like how they have a place for our beloved BC users to go to for BC games.
I swear, it's like you have lifetime OBC the moment you joined. Ten tickets a day wasn't easy to live off of already. Imagine how it is now.
