Actually the developers are the ones who will be having a hard time with ROBLOX in the future. Scarce R$ = scarce profits, uneven profit distribution, half the playerbase has no money so they're expected to slave away making free items for them or else no business.
Unless I'm missing something.

Actually being free to play is what gives ROBLOX's website the traffic and CPM it needs to keep it up.
So they didn't make it free to play out of the goodness of their heart necessarily. |

| ROBLOX has a product, (BC). You give them money for many perks, (Buying BC). This makes your gameplay more enjoyable. This is life, you buy somehting you want/need, or you don't. |

He has a point.
Also, @gryphunk2, if you were an NBC who didn't and couldn't have any money, what would you do?

The last three are instrumental, as well as the web traffic, are all key parts of ROBLOX's profits due to the innate "tax" system put in place.
Think about it, either they're hard up to have 90% tax, or are just draining your robux for themselves. |

They should just make NBCers the new guests.
They're basically just demo players anyway.

That's a point, having an account means you should at least be able to look somewhat unique.
Or else you might as well devolve NBC into a guest feature. |

@gryphunk
If you're talking about me that wasn't my point.
My point was that the NBCers are needed, because they make up most of the playerbase. Most of the playerbase who plays games daily, most of the playerbase who explores the website daily, etc.
So they contribute the most to the site's traffic and CPM income. That's why they're necessary. ROBLOX can't be a premium website, because it would go bankrupt.
So I'm saying that ROBLOX doesn't make it free to play because they want to be nice. They make it free to play because that's what keeps their business running. |

| Typically 'customers' are people that buy stuff from you, so calling yourself a customer but not buying BC then thinking you're entitled to free currency is kinda cheap. |

Literally, as a free user, you are not contributing to ROBLOX so you don't deserve any features. Be happy that you can sign up, play games, and post on the forum.
BC is literally like $6 a month, it's not going to make you go bankrupt, if you can afford Internet, and a device to get online, I'm sure you can shell out $6 a month. |

@Orbi
The free users make up more than half the playerbase.
So they make up half the website's traffic, which means they make up half the ad CPM income and half of the people who play this game.
They may not make them profit, but the amount of free users ROBLOX has is why the website is not bankrupt.
Do you not understand virtual economics? |
