The only good games coming out are paid access and won't be free for months. Until then we have the trash clickbait DanTDM garbage now. With no ways for free accounts to make any money without spending real cash, they won't get any real content.
So, is ROBLOX slowly starting to mirror Steam? Free to play (mostly) garbage, then higher quality paid games? ROBLOX is marketed as being "free", which it is, but more and more limitations are put on free users every update.

| Roblox is already pay 2 play, the items in the catalog aren't free anymore since the Tickets (Tix) are gone. |

Are you complaining about being able to play a online game for free, which has to host servers, have a staff team, etc. and that you're unable to get some features?
I laughed at this logic

| How is it pay-2-play? You get to make a FREE account and play millions of fun games for FREE! Sure, maybe clothing costs ROBUX but that isn't the point of ROBLOX. |

@robbie I'm complaining about the platform that's portrayed as free and sounds amazing, which it was back in 2011, but now it's just a marketing scheme. See CloneTrooper1019's post: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=196344256

the only games i play are free. 95% of the great games are free also, and if a game is pay 2 play it is probably a good reason like beta or alpha testing. so you can't really complain

No, it isn't. Those games are made by people who don't work at ROBLOX and are making them paid access during beta and/or for other reasons. There isn't just clickbait content either, if there were I wouldn't even be on here(along with others most likely).
Also, the catalog isn't a need, nothing in the catalog is a need. Faces, hats, packages, gear and clothing aren't a necessity for playing a game.

Some parts are "pay-to-play", but other than that, pretty fun. :)

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING ON ABOUT THE CATALOG
I never said anything about tickets or the catalog or clothing in the original content I posted!
I'm also aware that those games are in beta/alpha/whatever, but until they're released, WHY are we shown the garbage on the front page we have now?!

People make the game paid access in order to prevent newbies who don't know what beta means comment and dislike the game into oblivion.

@RandomAudacity Are you the moron? I understand the definition of "Pay-2-Play" and I emphasized that in the post and my replies. I'm talking about ROBLOX's marketing scheme where they show amazing games in commercials and adverts but we get the garbage on the front page instead. They're stripping NBC privileges and leaving us with the garbage games instead of the ones that are actually good, but paid access :/

I know you didn't talk about the catalog, but I saw an early reply only mention and talk about that so I wanted to make it clear.

So, it is "Pay-2-play" because there are "garbage" front page games and not the games ROBLOX advertises?
You are still a moron. |

Yes, while most games transition from pay-to-play to free-to-play, roblox has paradoxically done the opposite.
It won't end well.

Although you have a good point, I do feel that if they did not control what 'free users' could do then they would bring in a lot fewer sales for Builders Club, Turbo Builders Club, and Outrageous Builder Club.
If they started to loose money they would slowly over a few years stop doing nice things such as events, and the servers would slowly get slower and slower until they die. (if people stopped buying bc and robux)
