For fellow developers:
Although I get what a lot of people here are saying, I would like to remind everyone that this program has started… Over time it will improve, rewards will become even more worthwhile (not to mention there eventually will be 3 ways of getting some sort of reward…) So keep that in mind before posting about how this is very hard to achieve or how disproportional the rewards are.
Roblox Staff (engineers or otherwise) work tirelessly every day to bring us the tools which allow us to create the experiences we’ve created. We are getting rewarded for working hard and using those tools by being able to Dev-Ex, that money is hard-earned and is yours. What we should be asking for is not more expensive rewards or rewards that are easier to achieve… No, personally I would want something that I can use which showcases and recognizes the hard work and many hours I’ve put in on the platform. Having a reward that is really easy to achieve makes it meaningless while having something that takes legitimate effort is much more worthwhile and would give you something more meaningful to show off to your friends and family.
Yes, the stars program gives video content creators more rewards at a more frequent pace, however, that is simply because those people also work hard to create content that promotes that platform and brings in (as well as keeps) players so that the developers would have more people playing their games. Those rewards are almost always blasted on social media and sometimes even shown in their videos, that gives not only the content creator a sense they are apart of the platform but also shows their fans they are watching someone who is well recognized by the platform they love and go on every day.
TL;DR, Although our rewards are not as expensive and as easy to get, they are still a cherry on top. When giving feedback please be specific on what you wish the reward was, and explain why it’s more meaningful to you than what is already provided. Don’t complain about free things that are given to you should you achieve a milestone. Also, don’t just complain about a certain milestone, instead, explain why you think it’s hard and provide an alternative suggestion
For Developer Relations:
Thank you for listening to the developer community and creating a program that gives us developers some recognition for our work on the Platform.
The post was a little confusing as there is quite a bit of vague information and some even contradicting…
So is it Robux we’ve earned in a lifetime, or is it Robux we earned per year?
If it’s per year, does that mean every year we get a swag bag should we achieve the milestone again, or is it a one-time thing?
Does this (“This data won’t be calculable”) mean that Robux we’ve earned before 2018 does not count? (if so then would “Lifetime” be a propper wording?)
What happens in the case where developers are working in teams (which is happening more often now)? Does everyone on the team get the rewards or does only the owner?
– Keeping in mind some teams (most of the large studios do this…) pay their developers outside of Roblox, so the developers won’t be seeing Robux go in their account
Ahah
