Increasing Premium Payouts - Starting Today!

I doubt this will happen, if anything this will potentially cause less games to be p2w as developers can simply earn robux by having players(though they need premium) play their game.

This is amazing! Even if people don’t buy developer products/gamepasses from my games, I can somehow make a bit to help me, I’m so excited!

And you!

Just wondering, this could easily be abused, couldn’t it?

To be fair, this was expected with the fact that normal users now have nearly all benefits of premium users such as uploading shirts etc… Great to see we get something out of it haha… :sweat_smile:

This is a great change for developers of games that are not greatly monetized. Well done, ROBLOX.

Payouts is now becoming great way to not force microtransactions (wether it be cosmetic or gameplay) on players. Keep up the good work Roblox staff!

WOHOO :partying_face: thank you so much for this amazing boost!

Don’t you think 5x increase can be easily exploited? I’m suggesting 2x-3x boost.

Haha, ill probably increase the payment to all of you due to this yeah

I get it but its a improvement than before so we need to appreciate what we get as developers.

Realistically we shouldn’t need to appreciate anything, this is a business and we are basically the core work-force that make Roblox - well, Roblox. Without developers this platform simply doesn’t function, and for the longest time we have been on the short-straw in terms of profit, alot of that can be down to the spending of the company as they released public statistics of how they distribute the income - so hopefully after investor day, DevEx rates could potentially improve.

Roblox gets more money from purchasing Robux off the website, they get more money when a user buys a gamepass via tax, they get the Robux out of circulation when you DevEx and then the government proceeds to tax you for the money you earn from Roblox - so practically more than 60% of the original profit is lost to various taxes on the platform and then post-platform. If you calculate how much money they actually get in comparison to the developer - it’s generally crazy how much platform fees this platform charges in comparison to every other competitor on the market that functions in a practically similar manner.

As ROBLOX grows bigger and bigger expanding to different regions of the world, it is inevitable more users will be signing up and playing this game. I think that increasing the Premium Payouts is a great update for developers. I am excited for what ROBLOX has to offer and bring to the table in the next coming years.

This will help clothing groups and developers a lot! Like me, I can’t make badges because it’s 100 Robux. It will be SO much easier, thank you Roblox!
