No, ROBLOX is not greedy. In fact, for all of the costs they have it's good prices.
Lets say it costs $10,000 a month to keep up their servers. Now lets say their income from BC is $6 from 1,000 people. They would be losing 4,000 dollars each month.
Now lets say they advertise their BC with Mega places, packages, and all of those good things BC gets. Now they have 2,000 people paying $6 a month. They would be making $2,000 dollars which they could put into new servers.
Lets say after the population of ROBLOX grew it took $200,000 a month to keep their servers and pay their bills, workers, have BloxCon, ect. Now They have 35,000 BC members paying $6. Now they make $10,000 which would go into servers and advertising. But, what if they gave in and said, "Okay, we give in, now BC is $6 a year!". It costs them $2,400,000 a year and now 35,000 people are giving them $6 each year, that gives them $210,000 to pay their $2,400,000 bills. That's not smart.
Those are fake statistics but were made for a visual to understand the prices of BC. |

These are not true statistics, These are more legit=
It cost around 20,000$ to store everyones data onto their harddrives, about 15,000$ to keep the site running, around 2,500$ on advertising, and much more expenses. The only thing keeping this running are the users, if the Bc, Tbc, Obc was cheap then ROBLOX would not have enough to keep the whole game running and it would have to be shutdown.

Thank you...hopefully more people read this and stop bagging on the admi about "OMG SO EXPENSIVE!!1!!1!!11!" Of course people also purchase robux, but most people just buy BC. Also, TBC and OBC. I saw one post about a guy wanting monthly bc for $1, which doesn't even make sense. I've never seen ANY game that charges ONE dollar for a membership. |

Only the Monthly BC is 6 dollars. The longer times and 2 other BCs are more expensive. Come on, not many people buy BC as opposed to TBC or OBC. Be smart about it.

| Too many people cry, "ROBLOX is too greedy!" and "BC should be $10 for lifetime!". |

Your math forgot to include all of these other factors:
There are millions of users without Builders Club. All of those users see advertisements without AdBlock.
Not considering the above, we have all the other options presented to us.
6 month, 12 month, Lifetime, (T/O)BC.
And buying ROBUX. Yep, that's still an option.
Outside of that, commission's. ROBLOX gets ton of money for completing Commission Places.
ROBLOX earns a lot more money than that. They are a business for profit, after all. |

I don't see why people complain about BC prices.
6 bucks a month is excellent compared to most games with memberships. |

| Yeah, and the fact that it's optional, for some websites it isn't. |
