Something that came to mind;
Roblox already has a limiteds and exploit black market. What is going to stop developers from doing their own, especially against a biased system that will not be offering localization due to the difference in cost of currency (Roblox will lose addtl. profit by localizing). There’s a reason why vpns may be $2 in Pakistan, and be $24.99 in the U.S.
Genuinely, what even is this update other than a way to force younger creators to abandon the platform. One step forward, one mile back in this situation. Understandably, the cut from company scrip is beneficial. 100% of the profit is amazing.
There needs to be a separate opt-in market for this, or allowed mixed currency payments. Why should I put my physical cash into the platform rather than use an arguably safer alternative? If I have to have my bank cancel a transaction, I’m permanently banned. With robux, at least there’s a refund given if case is proven. What is the policy for refunds going to be, and will we get a dedicated support team for this, because as it stands, the Roblox support team often doesn’t understand developer lingo and doesn’t pass stuff on.
The problem with shifting engines is that Core is UE, and unity and UE have paid marketplaces which dominate their core market… due to being an engine geared towards studios and experienced professionals.
I typically support updates, however, I’m seeing a lack of major engine updates in place of “hey, more money!” and that does not keep me interested. All I’m seeing is a lack of resources being allocated to the updates we all desperately want and beg for.
