Our motivation for moving Creator Store to real-world currency is to maximize the revenue share for asset creators. We explored many alternate options, but real-world currency offered the best path to maximize revenue share for creators.
We are continuing to work on expanding who can buy and sell on Creator Store. For example, we recently added the ability for people 13-17 to sell on Creator Store with parental approval. As a result of this change, we’ve seen more high-quality plug-ins released on Creator Store. These plug-ins will empower Creators to be more productive and build more engaging experiences. On average, Creators who transitioned their plugins from Robux to real-world-currency pricing are enjoying 3x the take-home revenue. Even more encouraging, we have seen an increase in high-quality plugins getting added to Creator Store.
