| They are greedy. But that might be the only thing keeping roblox alive in this recession. |

I dont think tobot alone can really MAKE it for everyone, unless he were to idk just go against the rest of the team and actually do it.

| Enough money? 20 developers, 3 months, heck of a lot of work, figuring out the framework, web hosting, SALARY FOR THE DEVELOPERS, technical equipments, a lot of beta testing, now that would go around 1000 to 2000 dollars.. Think they have enough money? Nope.. This app was to increase their profit, and 10 games for NBC, I think its sustainable. |

@jake
with 10 million people buying BC I'm sure they can afford all that including their fantasy world of rolls-royces and hot tubs. |

@mewover. Agreed.I mean,they say,"Hey.everyone!We are going to give 20 people a free ipad,but I'm afraid we are going to have to charge you to play all the games on the app,even though they aren't BC on the site."I think they just should have discarded the thought of making an app,because obviously a lot of people got dissapointed. |

You people are so stupid and clueless.
First off, ignorant kids, ROBLOX is not even CLOSE to the point where they have "too much money". BUSINESSES NEED MONEY. More money = more wiggle room to do things.
Oh, you think they are greedy? OKAY. Run your own business and do tons of cool development stuff. CHARGE NOTHING. Let's see how long you last. Oh wait, you won't even finish developing because you need MONEY.
No BC = no ROBLOX Mobile or many great things for anyone.
Ad Revenues alone don't support a site this big.
Quit being butthurt. |

Also, it cost money to get the app developing license and software Apple has to offer. That's $99 right there.
Not much, right?
What about all the man hours spent on developing ROBLOX Mobile? They paid real people to develop this app, and paying people isn't cheap. Also, there wasn't just ONE PERSON working on ROBLOX Mobile. The more people they have concentrated on one thing, the costlier the project.
This isn't like some simple site update. They spent serious time and money on optimizing a game as huge as ROBLOX to work on iDevices. I'm amazed and very happy they did this. ROBLOX on my iPhone 4S can play games (depending on the kind) lag-free on 3G. |

What really got me to type all of this is what BloxxyBuilder123 said.
Bloxxy, you are completely ignorant to how a business runs. It's like an old fashioned coal-powered train. The train is ROBLOX and the coal is money. You can't run the coal-powered train without coal, and you can't run ROBLOX without money.
Again, do try to make your own game with amazing features and charge NOTHING for all of it. Let's see how far you make it on your own without cash flows. Ad revenues won't save you. |

oh,it definitely is winning the lottery every day for those damned devs huh. what about the excess money,where does that go? ferrari inc. yes,they really need it or else they'll steal some money from more LMaDers like you with OBC and robux.
it isn't that costly. with somewhat over 10 million people using BC I doubt they'll run out of money,or even make the project with money hitting rock bottom. they have simply too much.
you're just another gullible running gag of a rich man. |

Dominator, you are very clueless, and I have pity on you.
There aren't even 10 million unique visitors on ROBLOX, let alone BC members.
I'm sorry you can't comprehend business. Don't worry, the way you are acting and typing assures me you won't need to know about business. You are too stuck up in the mentalitiy of "Corporations are evil" to see clearly. You are acting like ROBLOX owes you something.
No one owes you anything. You are just another self-entitled child. |

Random, again, you are clueless
http://blog.roblox.com/2012/04/weekly-roblox-roundup-april-21-2012/
They reported 7 million unique visitors every month.
Even if that was earlier in the year, there is no way THREE MILLION MORE PEOPLE came to ROBLOX in that amount of time.
But...what if they did?
Even if that was true, there is no way in heck that they would have 7-10 million BC users. If that was true, then I would say it would be greedy. It's not. If there were 10 million BC users, I would see a ton of more BC tags next to people's names when I go into games and forum.
Go join dominator at McDonald's. They always could use another chef. |

nor did I mention anything about me being so hobo because roblox stole from me.
"I'm sorry you can't comprehend business"
well,you do? nuh uh. you just repeat the common compliments and stereotypes about it. why do you act condescending to the point of judging someone without knowing their intentions?
PS it's called wild guesses. GENIUS |
