So apparently now you can upload audio files that go past two minutes long and up to six minutes right? It's not as great as you might think.
Originally, you could upload a 2-minute long audio file for R$100. Now you can upload an audio file going past 2-minutes, but they drastically increased the price on this for whatever reason.
A 3-minute audio file costs R$500. Is this a joke? R$400 extra just for an additional minute of audio? It's not like this is putting a strain on the game's database or servers LOL, this big of a price difference is extremely unnecessary. They just want to squeeze as much cash out of people as possible.
As if that's bad enough, these holiday events are garbage now. Just take a look at this month so far, you have to buy gifts with ROBUX. I remember the good ol' days when you could get gifts on the front page for free and they'd open up at the end of the month.
I also love how they tried to justify the whole idea of removing tickets when at the end the real reason is because they want people to purchase ROBUX for all these catalog items being added. Tickets were a free currency which ultimately made many people not care about ROBUX. Now that tickets don't exist, you're pretty much either forced to get builder's club or purchase ROBUX in order to get items off of the catalog.
And now here we are, ROBLOX is trying to con DEVELOPERS of their money as if they don't already tax us 30% on each item we sell to players.
All they want is money, they don't care about the state of the game. They barely even care about bugs, I've contacted them numerous times with bugs in games and on the site and they do not care. They reply "our team is looking into this!" which actually means they aren't doing a thing about it.
The only reason I'm still here is because I enjoy developing games for people to play. Otherwise this site is awful now. It's a shadow of what it once was. |

If it's so bad then leave.
Go use Unity or Unreal Tournament to create games for people to play. |

Judging by your response I can tell the only thing you read on my post was the last line.
Funnily enough I do not think the game is bad, I'm saying that ROBLOX as a company is greedy. The staff is very unhelpful and do not care about bugs, there are many bugs on the site that myself and other players have experienced for over two months now and they have yet to patch these. Don't worry though, they're still adding new items on the catalog for people to buy.
I like making games on ROBLOX, why would I use Unity? I like the style and art design ROBLOX brings I just dislike how incompetent and unreliable their staff is. |

What do you mean you can't get free gifts?
There are no earning gifts during Halloween that's during Christmas |

| I am pretty sure they used to sell gifts during Halloween for tickets, and that pretty much translates to being free (everyone got tickets daily, they'd add up and you would have a bunch to spend). |

Assuming things makes an ass ### of you and me. I read your entire rant, I just didn't care to comment on the entire thing.
ROBLOX is a privately owned company. Of course they're going to try to milk as much robux out of the economy as they possibly can now that Developer Exchange has been introduced and robux essentially as an IRL value.
Longer audios take up more space. If you don't want to purchase a 3 minute one for R$500, then split the audio in half and create two audios. It's not that complicated, and it's not necessary to create a game that will generate profit.
Halloween gifts have never been given out for free. Christmas gifts have and some miscellaneous gifts in the past have. Christmas gifts are still able to be earned, and then later bought if you didn't earn it.
Tickets were an outdated system that put unnecessary currency into the economy. They were only really used for advertising and profiting off of the Trade Currency system. By removing them ROBLOX has reduced the total currency gained from games and the total currency in the economy. This causes developers to earn less and therefore not be able to DevEx as much.
"All they want is money, they don't care about the state of the game."
Yes, that's why they continue to improve physics, dynamic lighting, and various new features including but not limited to: R15, new site layouts, and features that allow for better debugging of games. As far as money is concerned, of course they want more as they're a corporation, but they will still improve the game because the more they improve it the more profit they can bring in.
Unity and Unreal Tournament are both far superior to ROBLOX in terms of developer profit. If you were anywhere near the level of a real developer you wouldn't be creating games on ROBLOX lol. |

Preach it Connor.
Also, aren't you being greedy by asking for free things, EVEN THOUGH you get to make games practically free, play thousands of games for free and being a social grounds at the same time. Plz don't get triggered |

It's bad enough a few employees have to moderate and manually approve 2 minute audios, but now It's 6.
It SHOULD cost a lot. |

By removing them they also removed the only way of obtaining catalog items without paying. If you don't have builder's club or do not want to purchase robux you're pretty much out of luck. They made up for this by adding free items, however now pretty much all new players have the same look due to this. There is no variety or uniqueness anymore LOL it's the same hair styles and hats.

Oh yes improved physics and dynamic lighting, very unique new features! You act like it was a challenge for them to add any of these things. Custom animations similar to R15 already existed before ROBLOX made it an official feature, so I'd say they're late to the party on that one. All the features they are adding for developers should have existed a long time ago, but for some reason they are just now being added?
"Unity and Unreal Tournament are both far superior to ROBLOX in terms of developer profit. If you were anywhere near the level of a real developer you wouldn't be creating games on ROBLOX lol."
I was actually starting to think this was a mature conversation until you attacked me on a personal level with this comment lol. Funnily enough you're right on that one, I'm not anywhere near the level of a real developer to use those advanced game engines. That's beside the point though, if everyone were to leave ROBLOX and use Unity to make games then there'd be no more people making games on ROBLOX, would there? I've already built a community surrounding my games and I am making profit through DevEx every other month. Why would I change? There is no reason to, and even if I COULD make a decent game on Unity I wouldn't because, like I stated in my previous comment, I do not hate ROBLOX. I like ROBLOX as a game and as a game engine to develop with I just do not like how money-hungry they are as a company, and how careless they are for issues that exist within the site and in-game. |

I'm not asking for free things nor do I care whether or not the item I'm purchasing costs robux or is free, because I can afford it. I'm speaking for the community that ROBLOX has pretty much screwed over. Think about it, you cannot get ANY ROBUX without spending money. Please just think about that before replying. For a game like this that is a FLAWED system. Everything on the site now is only purchasable with ROBUX and to get ROBUX you have to SPEND REAL MONEY. Tickets made up for this because they were given to you for FREE daily and you were able to buy cheap things for free but now, even if you want so much as a R$10 T-shirt, sorry but you're going to have to cough up some cash.
Also you cannot make games for free lol. Let's say you're a free player and you decide to develop a game to profit off of, you need builder's club otherwise you aren't really earning anything at all. They take away 90% off all earnings if you do not have any builder's club membership. Sell a R$100 game-pass? Make R$10 in return. Awesome "free" developing for everyone! |
