Roblox, here is my suggestion:

Return the daily robux that you stole from me and all Robloxians with a membership. I've spent over two years accumulating a large robux bonus and by changing the bonus program, you've stolen from me. I used to earn 102 robux daily, now I earn 42 robux daily. This is a near 150% loss of my original income. Since robux can be purchased with real money, they have a real monetary value. Just as people who steal money from banks or people who hack and steal virtual money from banks go to jail for committing theft, you too can go to jail for committing the same form of theft. My suggestion is that you merely restore the robux that I, and all members on Roblox with a membership, have earned. You had no right to change the feature and in doing so, you've wronged your loyal members. It is doubtful that you'll listen, considering that my formal complaint via email was responded to with "all future emails regarding this matter will be ignored". That email thus hindered my only ability to communicate with Roblox, which is clearly an act of cowardice, considering that the Roblox number leads to an automated voice that hangs up after notifying members that the only way to contact Roblox is via email. Sure, I'll contact you via email. Oh, wait... You've stated that you'd ignore any emails regarding my complaint. However, I still aim to make a point that you, Roblox, are a thief. I would appreciate if other members who have been wronged in the same way as I have were to voice opinions or complaints regarding this matter. We cannott allow for this injustice to go unanswered.

I like how you used "Merely" in a thread over stolen robux.

This happened about a month ago..... Sorry, but you already missed the riot.

"Just as people who steal money from banks or people who hack and steal virtual money from banks go to jail for committing theft, you too can go to jail for committing the same form of theft."
I don't think It's considered stealing when they had an infinite amount of R$ to start with in the first place.

"You had no right to change the feature...."
They do have authority to change it. They are the creators of this game.

"However, I still aim to make a point that you, Roblox, are a thief."
Thief (n): A person guilty of theft or larceny
Larceny (n): the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the taker's own use.


I am not objecting that you shouldn't feel cheated, because you clearly are (it's around a 25% decrease btw). I'm simply pointing you that you can't call ROBLOX a thief, because they never stole in the first place. That's as if you were to call the federal government a thief because they collect taxes.

I suspect that ROBLOX seems to be trying to lower inflation (or at least the risk of it). Wouldn't want to end up like Hungary after they lost WWI...

@GuestIy

You fail to realize that this is theft. Banks create money out of thin air all the time as you'll find out eventually. Therefore, the production of robux out of thin air is irrelevant to the fact that theft was committed. Also, I've been a member since before the bonus was introduced, thus I know how things were. When you're given something, isn't it theft if the thing that you were given was taken away without your permission? Such is called indian giving. Unless you're a supporter of indian giving, then end any opposition against the fact that Roblox has committed the act of theft. In addition, I'd prefer that Roblox eliminate the bonus entirely instead of forcing loyal BC, TBC, and OBC members to watch as their bonuses are cut dramatically. Lastly, the individual that said that the loss was about 25%. I'll admit that I calculated the loss incorrectly, but your calculation was incorrect as well. I only possess roughly 40% of my original earnings. Therefore, the loss is 40%. Should my bonus ever return, then I'd have a near 150% increase (this was the percentage that I used incorrectly in my first post).

Again I made a slight error... My loss is nearly 60%; however, I possess about 40% of my original earnings. Percentages can be quite difficult to work with.

Larceny is part of the definition of theft. Speaking in dictionary terms, ROBLOX hasn't commit theft, because:

1. They are taking it away BEFORE you have it in your possession.
2. They don't use any specific account to do so.
3. Even if they did, they have an infinite number of R$ and tix; what good is the robux to them?

Even though I hate this so much. They had a purpose. IF you havn't noticed, inflation has been horrble. Back in like 2010 or 2009, 5k robux was worth a lot. Now, you can't get much for 5k. They are trying to reduce the amount of robux people earn so inflation can go down so robux has more value. This also explains the %30 tax.

@starman444

What is the difference between stealing a candy bar and stealing a car? Only the item is the difference. Both acts, however, are still theft. Roblox may have not given the robux yet, but they did give me a stated value that they will give me. In short, they gave me an IOU that they failed to pay.

@coolwinky1

If Roblox has an economy as complex as that, then this only supports that Roblox has stolen something of value from me. You say that Roblox made the changes in order to decrease inflation. This doesn't give them the right to alter ones earnings. Roblox may have the ability to do so, but they do not have the right to. There is a difference between right and ability, just so the individual that brought that up understands.

First thing they cannot indeed go to jail for changing a feature. Secondly, rolling back a feature is on the WNTS, so go read it. And thirdly, since ROBLOX created the currency, they get to decide how much the Robuck is worth. If I am not mistaken, an older version of the terms and conditions stated that one Robuck was equal to 0.0000001 cents (no trolling intended if I am wrong). So really, you wouldn't even earn a pennie's worth of Robux over the course of a century, or even a millenia for that matter.

Be thankful they didn't remove the bonus entirely.

Also, people complain and say "i'm gonna cancel my BC', which means they basically don't want to earn any daily robux at all...

In my opinion, it seems childish to whine over something like this. :l

Again, larceny is part of the definition of theft. If they aren't planning to use it for personal gain, then technically it's not stealing.
