| Then people would just take BC by a contest or something, and ROBLOX will lose money. Guess what? Once ROBLOX runs out of money, they won't exist! You must really hate this site. |

@Drew, You have earned my respect for using grammar and using an "adult" word, as some call it. I detest people who don't use grammar. I'm racking up synonyms for the word 'hate.' So far I've got loathe, detest, despise, and dislike. I'm trying to get to ten!! |

Yeah, they'd lose $350 if they had the grand prize for a contest as lifetime OBC. $350 isn't very much money to them. I fail to see the problem you're presenting; the losses are negligible, especially since giving away a few non-permanent BC subscriptions is worth little money and may actually encourages its recipients to buy BC again afterwards. |

@Varp
"isn't very much money to them."
Yeah, imagine our economy out in California. If it's bad in Ohio, imagine how bad it must be in a state like that.
"non-permanent"
The OP did not say that. He just stated there should be other ways to get a Builders Club subscription.
"encourages its recipients to buy BC again afterwards."
Or they could just wait for another contest.
I think I might be able to check off "Outsmart Varp" on my S&I Checklist today! =D |

@mikey I don't really want to start another episode of what happened back at the "more blonde hair" idea, so whatever. anyways...
@OP what, does it really hurt to get 6$ a month and buy BC yourself?

Roblox is the biggest online kids game isn't it? No, $350 definitely isn't a lot of money. I can't quote exact figures, but I'll bet that Roblox's yearly profit is at least $1 million. That's also the extreme scenario; if they gave away a month of BC, they'd lose $6.
""non-permanent"

That part of my argument only applies to non-permanent memberships.
""encourages its recipients to buy BC again afterwards."

There's a whole lot of people on Roblox. You'd be stupid to rely on triumphing over tens of thousands of others. Even if they can consistently be in the top X (whatever the threshold is; probably a number like 5), the losses that Roblox would experience are minuscule. Also, if they won't buy, even after winning once and getting a full taste of BC and experiencing generosity from Roblox, they will probably NEVER buy. Further still, if they will never buy BC, Roblox does not lose money by giving them BC: they were never a potential customer. |

"Biggest online kids game" Adults are in the mix. Though it was DESIGNED for kids, that does not change the fact that there are still adults.
"At least 1 million" While that may be true, ROBLOX must subtract from that monthly bills, employees salary, and update money. They also have a house to keep up, servers and bandwidth to pay, and a family to feed.
"lose $6" I must admit that is a small lossage, but ROBLOX is losing money that they did not even get. The bandwidth for your avatar is subtracted from membership money.
"Non-permanent memberships"
Though it may be non-permanent, it is still a lossage of money. Something ROBLOX clearly does not have enough of, just by looking at all the BC features being added.
"Stupid to rely on triumphing over tens of thousands"
Some people are THAT good with Free Models.
"losses experienced are minuscule." Minuscule they may be, it does not change the fact of ROBLOX's need for money.
"probably NEVER buy"
That's not my fault. ROBLOX implemented it, so in my eyes, it's their problem.
"Roblox does not lose money"
YES. They do. Unless I have read your other arguements incorrectly, they lose 6 dollars if they give away the BC. Am I not correct in saying that money makes progress and progress makes the world go round?
"Never a potential customer"
Everyone is a potential customer. You just have to find their... well... potential. |

meeeehh.
If you can't get BC, too bad, so sad.
Nope. Pay for it. If you want Roblox Cards being shipped to different countries, then buy BC. It won't kill you to get 5 bucks. |
