Is Paid Access a terrible decision?

Help and Feedback Platform Usage Support
#1

I was considering making a game I’m working paid access (maybe 25-50 Robux), but I heard a few people say that it could really kill the game, and that premium payouts are a lot more effective. Do any game developers have any feedback or advice? I was also considering having a demo along with it. I saw Deepwoken costs 400 Robux and they have thousands of players constantly, so I didn’t really know…

First of all. What’s your game about?

really depends on a lot of factors that boil down to “maybe” since it’s hard to judge.

typically games that go paid access have several similarities between them:

  1. they have a pre-built community anticipating the game
  2. their monetization model does not involve many P2W aspects (you are already P2P so having P2W is, to many, a non-negotiable)
  3. the content in the game is expansive on release
  4. the game receives consistent updates in smaller bite-sized chunks
  5. the game is visually appealing
  6. (inconsistent) - the game is not P2P for a long period of time - alternatively, its price is gradually reduced as the game is updated [moving from alpha → beta → full release].
