Ok, so I saw the new advertisement and I noted 2 things.
One- I barely saw anything relating to the original point of ROBLOX; To create and build a good ''level'' and use your imagination. That is why I joined ROBLOX, and ROBLOX's point is starting to shift.
Two- Usually it was stating words like ''EXPLOSIONS'' ''OWN YOUR FRIENDS''. Are they trying to attract 6-7 year olds? Because that is EXACTLY the audience they are attracting. 6-7 Year olds are going to beg their parents for BC, and parents are going to not allow their children from ROBLOX, resulting in loss of players, and downhill pay.
If the company needs to make money to provide for servers, try attracting an OLDER audience, that ranges in the teen years. Most teenagers have an allowance, I don't, but they can pay for BC, because they can EASILY use their allowance to buy a Visa Gift Card, and use that card to purchase BC. I got TBC that way, except my parents bought me a Visa Card for my birthday.
ROBLOX also needs to rethink about trying to shift ROBLOX from its ''Online Social Hangout'' mode to ''Online Building game''. I thought that ROBLOX was about using your imagination?

Honestly they should be going for 9-10 year olds. Not 5-6. |

| Hero in teens, I was suggesting 10-15 year olds, so I guess its the Tween and Teen population 9 year olds probably would be included. |

| Trying to attract teenagers also attracts smart enough people that don't waste money on ROBUX and OBC. They want kids because kids, just have to have something and they don't see how it isn't a good deal. |

| Finally, a sensible thread about the commercial that doesn't have the words ITS FREE in it. I agree with you. And roblox is just being stupid. I looked on the commercial on youtube. It says comments disabled because of the criticism. ._. |

Right. A kid knows better than a team of adults with their marketing experts. Of course.

| Arty, I understand, but they should try to veer the audience towards building. Maybe some people will fall in love with designing, they can pursue jobs as Architects or in the Construction business, which may help the economy? |

Been a while since I seen you, SuperDude69.
Regarding this post, though. It would be difficult to make an advertisement for this game on Youtube. Why? Because theres hundreds of videos of a game-that-I-can't-name and if people find this from advertising, they'll think it's a rip-off of that. |
