well i hope understand be better terms of use has made changed for updated other way helpful for reason
Is there a way to sell UGC Items in an experience like a Homestore? If so, would UGC Homestores allow for creators to earn 70% of the cut rather than 30%?
I am still not ok with Roblox being able to see my closed-source code.
The other thing I’ve never understood is why the distributor gets 40 and the creator gets 30, shouldn’t this be the other way around?
EDIT this only affects ugc items lol
By this logic it means I could make a copy of the catalog as a game (which is definitely possible), push it to the top and make more money than the creator of said assets.
Pretty sure that only applies for 3D items such as UGC.
Thanks for clearing up the Terms of Use, well needed.
These were added to the Community Standards after who you are likely suggesting broke them.

All I really need to say is that it’s better than the last TOS update at the minimum. I dont like the new rates.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you should see it as additional ‘free’ promotion on top of your own.
Everything you earn from those who promote your products is only extra, right?
Otherwise gaining Robux relies solely on your own promotions / sales.
If done formally, they’ll reach out to you first and consult with you before anything. And in such case it’s more than fair if a game developer decides to promote your product for you that they earn a fair share.
Besides, it’s not just the Robux that matters here. Just like other companies like to collaborate: it doesn’t earn just money, but also helps gather new customers. If you let your products shine, they may as well turn into returning customers.
It’s not stealing, it’s helping.
Can you elaborate on why the update isn’t good? What do you think can be improved/changed?
Steal revenue by driving new sales to your product? Seems like additional revenue for you, if anything.
I feel like people had many misconceptions with this update.
no, roblox will NOT take 70 percent off of clothing/gamepasses. This only applies to the ugc 3d catalog(hats, items, etc)
(post deleted by author)
Nothing is changing – the 30% applies to 3D UGC like hats and layered clothing (has always been 30%). Not to 2D (legacy) clothing, T-shirts, etc. They need to clarify the wording.
Use your senses before replying: they wouldn’t push out a significant change to a revenue stream like that without its own announcement.

Right, but half of twitter thought the same thing the language was worded poorly, not sure why you’re always so passive aggressive with your replies when its a perfectly reasonable to get confused about it.
I’m explaining how one could avoid falling in the same pitfall (starting outraged about it instead of thinking it through first) in the future when giving feedback. The summary in the first post doesn’t mention revenue changes and it is clear the intent is to improve transparency, not to actually make functional changes.
It’s not meant to be passive-aggressive.
Also, I have higher expectations of responses to DevForum announcements compared to Twitter thoughts, because the forum is a more durable/intentional feedback medium.
Yeah the language was unfortunately unclear, and I wasn’t aware of the 30%-40%-30% revenue split for UGC Catalog Items. Thanks for letting me know though! I’ll delete my previous message as to not spread misinformation.
Cheers!
Just to make sure, are we or are we not able to sell experiences/games? I’m sure we can’t sell groups to other users, but there’s quite the amount of inconsistencies. The terms of service now seems to state that we can, but a multitude of other pages seems to state we can’t/shouldn’t, and before this update it was stated we cannot. If we actually can now, that’s pretty awesome!

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/roblox-community-rules-update/134007 https://devforum.roblox.com/t/can-i-sell-roblox-games/682571/4We have not changed any revenue share percentages with this Terms update. The language has been revised in order to clarify.
I do not think i like this update.
Some of these rules are good, but some of them is a no-no.
