You are aware that the lighting team is seperate from the web team, right ?
@OP
I like this idea. As a developer I also wish to give players a free gamepass. Sure I can already achieve this by using my own system, but it would be nice also for other players to give eachother a gamepass for my game. (For example a younger newphew that doesn’t has the money but still loves to play my game 
) + double income for me, so who am I to complain.
It is also annoying to have tax on the t-shirt sale and this isn’t always possible if you’re donating to a NBC user
What is Gifting Gamepass Feature?
It is an feature that allows any player on Roblox to be able to gift an any player an gamepass.
How It would work?
When you are on any game page, you will go to “store” tab, and then you will click “Buy”, and then when you get into gamepass description page, you will click three dots (meaning more options) and one of the options will be “Gift Item”.
When you click “Gift Item”, some sort of pop-up like this will pop-up and require player to enter player’s name, that the gamepass should be gifted to.
However, owner of the game would be able to do it for free without getting charged.
Why this feature would be good?
It would allow players to gift gamepasses to their friends as birthday gift, christmas gift, giveaway reward, or for any other reason.
It would allow developers to make giveaways for their players, but since they are owners of the game and gamepass along with it, then they can do it for free. Which would make sense.
It would allow video stars / youtubers to gift gamepasses to their fans, and make it more easier for them to do so, since rightnow, they are using Group Founds or Robux Cards and they need extra information and afford from other player to join for example an Group or contact them on third-party service to contact them. But with Gift Gamepass feature it would take 1 minute, and you need only username of the player. Easier, faster and little bit less Robux scams.
It could expand possibilities on Roblox.
What do you need to be able to use this feature?
If you are owner of gamepass (meaning game), nothing. If you are just an player, you need enough Robux to be able to pay for gamepass.
Why this feature shouldn’t be only for Roblox premium users?
You don’t earn on this feature, this feature should be free for all players, everyone should have right to send an nice gift to somebody.
Should Roblox add transaction fee?
I honestly think, that would be bad idea, for players. us to pay additional Robux.
Could be used as scam?
No, I don’t think so. If you gift someone an gamepass, it’s over, you did it, and you can’t undo it. Pretty much no.
What if Player gifted to wrong player by accident?
After clicking “Gift”, it will display players profile with
a picture, that you gifting to, and asking to confirm, that so the player you gifting is the correct one.
Will Roblox earn less?
Roblox will earn the same amount of money, like before this feature. You will still pay full price for the gamepass, but you gonna gift the gamepass to other player. So basicly Roblox doesn’t lose anything from this feature. It may even increase earnings for Roblox, since more people will use this feature, which can mean more money for Roblox.
What if that Player has already that gamepass?
Roblox will display you an pop-up saying that user has already that gamepass and that you didn’t got charged for it.
Do you agree with this idea, if you do then why? What would be positive outcome from this feature?
I think this would be a fantastic way for video stars to gift game-passes to their fans. Would make it way easier than the current method which is giving out Robux card codes so that they can buy the game-pass themselves. All we’d need is their username instead of external ways to contact such as Discord.
Very good idea, support this 100%
I would also like to state that this could make development for teams easier! This would mean the whole team wouldn’t have to individually buy the game pass because the game owner could give it to them for free!
To expand on the last point, it would make easier to gift passes to people who are willing to officially test your game, without making them pay for those items.
Bumping this topic, would really love this to be a feature. Developers have had to resort to implementing their own gamepass gift systems, which is frankly just annoying having to duplicate dev products then update prices whenever you change them which effectively just doubles the work load. It’d be beneficial to all creators if it was simply built in as a universal solution.
Bump, great idea.
thirtycharracterssssss
Bump! This idea should be implemented, roblox could profit from this.
Bump, there have been many times where I would’ve loved to gift a gamepass or have one gifted to me by a friend
Bump, being able to buy gamepasses for others would boost purchases and help support both devs and Roblox, wasted opportunity Roblox!
Im so happy r0blox didnt add this omg bro.
why is that? I think it’s a great Idea
Bump!
This is definitely something that should be implemented asap.
A year later I have not changed my opinion on this subject.
It would be a huge bonus to all developers if this was intergrated directly into the engine, I don’t know if roblox has done research proving otherwise but this would easily boost revenue and take away a minor pain point for developers (you can still do this yourself of course) so its a win win.
Bumping this!
This is an amazing idea.
Bump!! If roblox does not plan on adding it due to a specific reason, I think it is only fair for us to be told!
Yet I think this would bring Roblox even more revenue, so… why is it not a thing yet then? haha
It would definitely be a benefit for roblox and certain games already have this however many game developers understandbly refuse to make this a feature unless roblox adds it themselves
This suggestion is from 2017 and has not been added nor addressed. I would understand that their would suggest this privately however this has been a suggestion for this long and there isn’t even a possibility that it will be added this or even next year as of now and kinda loosing hope that this will be a feature at all unless roblox does something
Even if only premium users can gift stuff then i would be happy because it would make premium atleast more useful
I wouldn’t see any issue here
So is a majority of feature requests, look at how long people have been asking for Advanced Graphics Settings. (This isn’t the first feature request about it and likely won’t be the last)
This is dumb. You would have to pay money, to pay other people money.
