With the removal of the login bonus and no more tix from place visits, how are NBCs going to make Robux?
And Ive heard there will be more free items, anyone know anything more about this? |

With the 90% tax on NBC, it'll be VERY hard to make money. Gamepasses that are sold by NBC's will have to:
-Be expensive to compensate for the 90% tax -Players will have to trust the game enough to buy something We're also assuming that -The mostly NBC playerbase can afford the expensive gamepasses, but that's VERY doubtable, as it's not clear how NBC's will make money. But.. -If they can't, NBC's selling the gamepasses can't make money, and then won't be able to afford anything else in turn, thus creating an endless cycle of poverty unless they buy BC.

Roblox says they are making up for this by making lots of free hats and such, for all users to use and incorporate into outfits. Does anyone think that will be enough to make up for the fact NBCs will be poor if there are free items to choose from? I do not since it will effectively cripple all NBCs into having the same outfits.
@Fish you have a good point, and as you pointed out even the game passes will not be enough, as no NBC will be able to buy them if they have no income, and even if somehow NBCs scrap together enough funds to purchase each others game passes, the 90% tax will effectively destroy all the accumulated wealth. |

@iix The only way I can see this vicious cycle being fixed is allowing NBC's to sell shirts and pants for a 20% tax. It's only 20% higher than the BC's tax, but it's enough to atleast make SOME money.

@Quis Ad revenue from? Mobile ads?
I'm not even sure how much of roblox plays on mobile devices, but I presume it's >10%. Even then I'm not sure that the general population knows how to implemetn mobile ads.

So the real question is how long until running ads and such is BC only.
This happened to Club Penguin when my little brother played, they made things members only until there was no point in playing unless you were a member. Since then, they've had to change things back to how they originally were since people were losing interest if they weren't spending their money. That was around 2009 maybe, give or take a year or two. |

ROBLOX is also making monthly NBC gifts for completing tasks like making outfits or different types of platforms you play ROBLOX on or the amount of games you play recently. What makes no sense is the fact that earlier on in the article explaining in depth. They say that the login bonus will continue with robux.

I assume the continual login bonus of Robux is for BC, since if they gave you all your Robux at once, more people would just purchase Robux than BC itself. But I think BC will certainly experience changes as well. Anyone remember when they had lifetime BC or the Loyalty bonus?
I did see the gifts, yet those seem like they well be few and far between. And I think it is safe to assume that almost all users will achieve these, some unknowingly. Which just further leads to the lack of individuality.
I think there should be a way for dedicated users to get Robux for free (make it max out, say 20ish per month to prevent spamming), a way that would be too troublesome for bots to achieve, yet simple enough for a dedicated Robloxian to earn. That way Roblox could release hats that are 10 Robux for a limited period of time and those users who can't afford/arent able to buy BC can still have some distinctive hats lacked by the masses. |

| They're gonna make more free hats and earnable gifts to encourage more players to actually play instead of logging in. |

As of right now, there are only a few free hats, so unless at some point there are hundreds of these free hats, then everyone will immediately recognize these as free, and people will designate you as a noob. The veterans will be easily recognized as well, since they will be the only users with Robux items that are not BC.
One of the best parts of wearing an outfit on Roblox previously was knowing that only you were wearing that specific combination, that outfit was entirely your own. We've all seen comments where people have deleted an item from their inventory because they have decided it is too common or too many people have it. But with free items, everyone owns them, and there is no individuality, nothing to distinguish the veterans from the casuals. With the relatively low prices of items (say 250 Robux and below), only veterans or those who were dedicated owned these, and when seen with them, players would recognize the user with respect, comparative to new players who have yet to mature or understand Roblox, who wear almost exclusively free or "earned" items.
I just hope Roblox makes some of the gifts challenging enough only veterans will understand, and not something that all new users will immediately achieve. |
