Pissed off. NGL would be happier if they reduced minimum cost to like 0.99. It doesn’t affect the higher quality plugins but the ones that are MEANT to be cheap HAVE to be 5 bucks

Still not in Türkiye. It’s been 1 month, my country is still not supported, how will I buy the plugin? @crayzdesi4 Do you have a solution? As Turkish developers, we cannot buy plugins.
Yeah, and the functionality they offer is often significantly more complex or feature-filled than what most similarly priced Roblox plugins will provide. Not to mention paid Blender plugins come with source code as a rule, which makes them infinitely more customizable than plugins here.

I haven’t read the full discussion, but would it theoretically be possible to make a plugin purchasable with robux by using a gamepass that is required for the plugin to work?
Gets around the real-money requirement.
Just a suggestion! I might be wrong though.

Definitely, just be aware that free plugins can be required and be getten broken into. Better thing to do is use loadstring
No disagreement there. I expect this will begin to improve now that plugin developers get a higher percent of each transaction so working on a plugin is more worth the time spent.
There are multiple easy methods to access the source code of Roblox plugins.

This is only a half step in the right direction. This will not ensure that more people buy plugins. Simply because the target group under 18 is much less willing to pay for plugins with real money. I really don’t understand why Rolox is still sticking to this plan when the people who are in favor of this change are obviously in the minority.
I think it’s embarrassing for a platform of this size to ignore the community so much. I mean, if you look at the replies to the post, you can see in every third one the demand that there should be a choice between plugins for Robux or USD. In the rest of the posts, you see almost exclusively rejection of the whole thing.
In addition, the following problems have still not been resolved:
- Pricing is disproportionate
- Users under 13 still have no way of purchasing plugins
- The attractiveness of creating plugins has not really increased → because it does not seem to be worth it
In addition, there is the following problem:
- More copies of plugins will appear → Plugin developers will be robbed

why even keep Robux around?
Don’t give them ideas.

I think by this action you are just destroying the macro economy of roblox, roblox is an entire ecosystem that works because of robux, you are just trying to devalue robux by your actions. I’m sure that many developers spent their robux on plugins to improve the work on their projects. If you want to add the purchase through the dollar, then return the same old option through robux. Thanks to this update, the plugin store is closed for me a long timeand and although I could have made it easier on myself.
Just like others are saying about this. Don’t forget that not everyone has a visa or mastercard, and especially not everyone lives in the US, lol. At least others don’t have a card, I don’t even have region support. I also can’t get a visa or mastercard in any way. I see that many developers did not like this update, I hope that roblox will hear the criticism and return everything as it was, or at least return the ability to buy through robux.

I get the reasoning behind this change, so people have an easier way of monetizing there products, but I don’t see why you can’t also have the option to pay in robux as well as paying with currency? I’d rather not pay 10 bucks for a plugin when I could just pay 800 robux which is equal to about the same price. Come on Roblox, do better.

I don’t like this update. Most users are likely much younger than 18 years old unlike what roblox believes. This update, I like to call it is the mommy’s card update. The idea of this update is more unstable than myself.

Well I only see a service problem here. Either I don’t buy or I pirate, I’m choosing the first one.

SO ? Has your boss decided to put the prices in robux or maybe he is smart and is thinking of putting the price in robux and in real money, according to the desire of the creators who feed him.
I think I’m not the only one, we have the possibility of paying tens of thousands of robux for plugins, but yet I wouldn’t even put $1 as long as it doesn’t change, I hope I’m not alone.
He wants money but he does the opposite, unless his objective is to get creators used to everything being paid in real money? Advertising, now Plugins, why not ask creators to pay for the publication of a game? like on Steam, $10 or $100 minimum per game publication?

bruh i hate this. i can no longer get any plugins. (theoretically, i can, but i am heavily against spending real money on digital things. all robux i make is from games i make). Instead of roblox adding both options, you are forced to spend real life money on it. this is just ridiculous. roblox made this everything but accessible… they do not realize that in other countries, something easy like 20 bucks for an American is actually 100 Lei for us , Romanians and other less rich countries… im glad i bought all the robux plugins i use regularly before this update came… Im sure they will realize how horrible this is, that the update will eventually be reversed. other countries cannot even buy the plugins at all!

Well, I will just create my own.
