A while ago 6 monthly and lifetime subscription options were removed. I understand fully about the lifetime removal; however the removal of 6 monthly really bugs me.
I found it a great medium between monthly and yearly (no joke intended) as I normally didn’t have enough to shell out the yearly price but always found myself more then content with the 6 month. Most of the things I’m currently purchasing else where I’ve got on a half-yearly basis (6-months) this is helpful with giving some flexibility as well.
I think the main reason for removing the 6 month membership was to avoid having so many different price points on the same page, which was making it slightly harder for a customer to easily compare each of the different membership options. Better marketing, pretty much.
I actually disagree with bringing this back. This is going along the lines of what @Cindering was saying. When people are given more choices when buying the same product and some people are given less choices, more people who were given less choices buy the product than people given more choices. It’s psychological. ROBLOX is going to make more money by not having the option than to have it.
Anybody else slightly disturbed that a year of OBC costs more than a year of Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix (just to name a few)?
I mean, I can’t complain since it gives us the ability to make it back with just one DevEx. It is a hard price to pay when you have to buy it back every year not knowing how much you’ll make back.
I’ve been paying for OBC well before they introduced DevEx and I was perfectly fine with the price. ROBLOX has always been something more than a way to get money for me (and I’m sure plenty of others agree with me).
