Since tix are being removed

[seliso]

Could NBcers not receive a 90% tax on gamepasses?

Its sort of silly that it hasn’t been removed since the only way of income are dev products and gamepasses now. Oh and if dev products are still taxed could we remove that one as well? I really would like to try to get a game to the front page and make money without having to buy BC to remove that 90% tax. Besides if I got enough money to dev ex I would still need to buy OBC so Roblox would still be making money off of me.

Anyhow those are my thoughts.

As for the thread itself, I don’t think that’s possible. You’re basically saying that roblox should pay 90% of all ur robux gamepass purchases. That’s alot of money.

[seliso]

Don’t people with BC only get a 30% tax? Should probably say “Can we receive the same tax as BCers?”.

I thought it belonged.

The thing is, since they removed the “free” currency and now the only way to get any currency is to buy Robux, with such a large tax a lot of the money is just going to simply disappear. With tix around, it seems more appropriate to have a large tax since there were thousands/millions of tickets given to accounts daily, but since that’s not around anymore taxing so much doesn’t seem very helpful.
Gotta keep that money circulating.

There might be a good reason still, but that’s my view on it.

Technically it’s supposed to be in one of Feature Requests’ sub-categories (client, web, or studio) since otherwise the appropriate people won’t find it.

If the problem is:

1. Developers without BC are at a disadvantage because they need to sell 7x more than those with BC to be able to upload assets that cost ROBUX (audio, badges, thumbnails, etc)

Then really the best solution is to just remove the cost of uploading assets altogether because paying to upload assets…

@Shedletsky

It just doesn’t make sense.

2. “I want to get enough money to DevEx without buying OBC until I’m ready to DevEx”

In that case you should just buy BC until you’re able to DevEx. BC is pretty cheap, and if you’re actually serious about developing games and want ROBLOX to hand you hundreds of dollars later down the road through DevEx, you should be committed enough to shell out only a couple in advance.

I don’t know how to put it in to one of these sub-categories.

True, but what about gaining enough money to keep one going and to run ads? With this 90% tax its impossible to even do that.

You don’t. Even with ticket-based advertising:

On another topic

Just because adverts are currently purchased with tickets doesn’t mean they’re viable for NBC developers. Sure, you may get 10 tickets a day and some from place visits, but that’s not enough for advertising. The advertising queue is saturated by people who pay boatloads of money for ads. Even if you put 1000 tickets into an ad, it won’t be seen much. Either way NBC developers are screwed out of the ad system, and removing tickets really doesn’t make much of a difference in that regard.

The dropdown where you select the category has a filter. You can search for “feature”/“features” and find all sub-categories of Feature Requests:

The reason behind this not happening yet might be a secret, but what Roblox has been repeating over and over again at RDC’s is that “0 fees for developers” (as in necessity of BC and asset upload costs) is part of their vision for the final product of the Roblox platform.

Or better yet, the answer to your question is Soon™

Probably will happen this year.
