RDC24: What We Announced

You will never know what people will do with the feature…
and you could already set your paid access Roblox game to some obscene amount of Robux.

Put it like this, if no one has proved that an AAA game with the current tools they have is possible on Roblox, there shouldn’t be any AAA price tag option because it just doesn’t make sense. You could just already pay by Robux though. The main issue here is that people will try to abuse, turn most of the games into paid access, and price gouge it. We know we can’t trust developers on platform with the current state of the front page being bunch of simulators, uncreative tycoons, and AI generated crapslop.

Maybe go make a triple A game first, impress the public, and set the paid access to 60k Robux.

This is the concern, and I don’t care about Roblox adding USD option or a hypothetical high-end game on Roblox having a price. I care about mid games thinking they have rights to make their game cost USD$11.99 and price gouging. Mid games being games that has the characteristics of a usual Roblox game such as bad lighting due to the lack of pos-proc effects, poor performance due to the lack of tools, and the charm of the game itself because generally, Roblox developers are UNCREATIVE. I care about developers forgetting that they’re already getting paid by playtime and most of the expense is already covered by Roblox overall. For most of the games on Roblox, they do not need to cost 12 dollars or euros.

Ask yourself. Are you planning to create a triple A game? Are you planning at least create a high-end storytelling games or maybe an actually creative sandbox game that mogs out of the others with the highest quality models? Are you wise enough and able to utilize the hidden gems of the engine itself to create an out-of-the-ordinary experience to replicate the potent of Steam games or beyond? If not, do you really need to price the game to such a price for the average Roblox player? Based on the question, you either set it to USD$60, 200 robux, or just leave it free. Even $7 or 500 Robux is just… insane. Locking your mid games to paid access for 300 Robux, $5, or more is going to leave it as dead unless it’s Deepwoken or B:R quality.
