In response to Developer’s Feedback on Developer Exchange

Thank you guys for the response!

I appreciate that this came so fast after all the talk, but it is actually a little discouraging.

The real problem isn’t the 20% to 70%. (or whatever the numbers are.)
The issue is that developers aren’t getting a lot for the work they put in, especially the smaller devs who have trouble making the minimum payouts!

One fact that a lot of developers have mentioned, and I think makes a lot of sense is that games should only have to pay Platform fees if their game is actually on the platform
That in itself could help small devs (who don’t yet have experience for making mobile or Xbox games) to support themselves better


Now for my replies…


Monoread:

Having to immediately fork over £20 for a month of OBC just to be able to cashout your earnings to me is an super insult to injury considering the CEO of Roblox David Baszucki has repeatedly been seen repeating the phrase “never charge the developer” yet since DevEx has launched this requirement has still not been lifted.

They actually say they never charge the developer?
That’s called lying… And very disappointing!


Reverse_Polarity:

I’ve talked to a lot of developers over the past few years and I always ask them a simple question: What is their plan for the future? Most of the times, their response is “Use Roblox as a jumping off point to develop for other platforms.” That is tragic to me, and I believe it needs to change.

This is unfortunately what’s going to be with my family.
As it stands, Roblox just can’t support any of us. We aren’t likely to become stars overnight, and that’s sorta the only way you can make a living. (being a Star that is :stuck_out_tongue: )
