Personally I believe the unification of the marketplace fee is a great thing, to forward the platform a lot more. By making limiting features less restricted, it allows for more users to enter the developing side of the platform and earn revenue easier.
This is relatively off-topic; but I still wanna include it here:
I believe (“I” is the keyword!) that this move from Roblox is to make Premium more for the players. What I mean by this is that instead of the Premium membership benefits coming directly from Roblox, the rewards come from the games they play. This associated with the recent announcement of tripling the premium payouts makes a lot of sense to me.
Yes I agree very much. This might heck things up, especially because most people only buy premium to sell for 30%. . This might reduce premium sales but it will 100% get old developers to maybe come back.
Will this fee be applied to limited items as well? If a user loses Premium while their limiteds are onsale, and sell them after, they currently have a 90% marketplace fee. It would be wise to remain consistent in charging users a flat rate for everything, so I’d hope this would go down to 30% as well.
I used to shell out an embarassing amount of money just to receive the benefits that formerly Builders Club (which locked way more features, even just having 30 player servers once before) and now Premium. Admittedly, it wouldn’t be wrong to say I still do, but not in the same excess I once did.
That money loss has become very hard on my wallet with me entering dire times, especially since I’m not particularly earning right now, so this update is nice to have. My Premium subscription and subsequently my string of subsequent membership subscriptions for over my entire 10 years of Roblox ends now.
Having equal market accessibility and opportunities to net income without Premium is very beneficial so that I can prime up my Robux wallet first and then, with anything I do have to spare, purchase Premium and turn over a profit for cash that’ll be future-needed.
Developer accessibility has never been more important with our developer community expanding every day and granting these new developers the chance to make their dreams a reality on the spot without a major amount of barriers blocking features and gains to them.
This update is more than welcome. I offer nothing but thanks from every fiber of my being for slashing the market tax for non-Premium users.
This is the best update you ever done in my opinion.
This helps small and low-budget devs to earn robux without wasting 90% of their work.
Thank you!!!
I mean yea, let’s lower things for our non-premium members. However, us clothing designers still have to pay 5$ a month and it sucks. All of the “privileges” we had as premium/bc members have slowly been taken from us, so I believe we shouldn’t have to pay to upload clothing either. I just think that’s fair.
. This might reduce premium sales but it will 100% get old developers to maybe come back.
Thanks!
