Closing statement
So, Cofe, as most and a lot of us know has come to an end, as most good things do. I making this in response to some messages from the group wall/discord pm's. Yesterday a user took time out of there day to address some statements about cofe's closure and my own values, So i will state some "QNA" questions. without regurgitating what ive already stated
Why is this happening? pt.1
Cofe is closing to a lot of reasons. But a main one is because of my own will. Ive been in a rut for awhile, about since december 2019, I had began cofe right off of box's loss of it. I had a future for this group and it was one that was very long term, but not forever. I knew when i first purchased box cofe inc. 2 that this would never be something id do for my life. I also knew that it would never be possible for me to do it for my entire life. In its own way, cofe kept me entertained. I get boosted from progress. We were able to keep cofe at a steady pace of increase. I realized that the best and only way for a group to grow was ads. Bam, there it was, i was buying ads, upon ads, upon ads. Robux after robux. Exact ammount ive spent on ads: 12.4k robux, That is about 140 bucks including taxes.( This is aside from, models, scripts, audios, roles, etc. that i purchased for cofe). Thats a l o t of money for someone who doesnt bring in any income at all. I was running out of money. Considering i have no income thats a ton of money that came from thin air. I had to cut it down, i was spending almost 50-60 dollars on roblox every month, thats 720 bucks a year, on roblox.
Why is this happening? pt.2
Now about my own self mental wellness and life. As i said in the top portion, cofe filled a lot of my time and kept me busy, but slowly and slowly, a time i knew would come, arrived. Id realize that i have to change how my life is going, im a sophomore in highschool, and I only have 2 years before id be in collage or on my own in this world. Ive been playing roblox for about 9 years now, and its time for me to log off and say goodbye, to the studio part anyways.
Box cofe inc. 2 pt.1
Now, you could argue "Why didnt you give the group to someone you trust?" And to be honest, my main reason for that is 2 things, it first, wouldnt be the same. I dont know any real developers or people who would want to carry the group. I watched a group, that was even backed up by flamingo as it was seen and featured in a video of his. 2 months later the group was given away to a real, actual developer. But, nothing, ever, happened. The group didnt have a proper ending, it was left with a ? statement and eventually ended without notice.
Box cofe inc. 2 pt.2
My second reason, The group, the idea, the origin story, needs to rest. I brought it back from the dead, i saw the group falling when he gave it away, so before it fell i grabbed it and put it on a pedestal. I was able to revive the group from its origin story, with a game that resembled its original creation, but was a beginning to what had ended. Slowly, update after update, the game drifted from its origin story. From a baseplate selling cofe to an adventure map large enough to make elbedins mom question what he does on his computer. Not saying, the game was turned from riches to rags, (probably the opposite happened).
Farewell cofe.
To conclude my closing statement, Its time for me to move on, To begin my life, and for cofe to reach its resting point. I knew if i was going to end it, it was going to have a great ending to the book. Every single cofe place (Memorial, main and memorial pt 2) will continue to stay open forever, all clothing is perm offsale. Thank you all of your support over the past 2 years but its time to go. Honestly, to me this is the end of a chapter. If someone wanted to do what i did, i challenge you to go for it, experience with studio. bring cofe to life, once more. But for now, Box cofe inc. 2 is officially closed. I've learned a lot from studio and cofe and I will take this with me everywhere. goodbye everyone :)
