Unified Marketplace Fee for Private Servers, Paid Access and Plugin Marketplace Sales

This is a great step foward in benefit of us, developers, cheers!

I’m still waiting for the day that 30% goes down to 15% at least, will that ever happen?

I only care about this. Please don’t do this, or at least make an application process like ugc catalog or something. Opening the plugin marketplace will make everyone much more susceptible to scams, and in my opinion developers have a right to audit the code they are going to use before using it.

A great improvement that I truly enjoy. Earlier it felt like you had to pay money in order to earn something because of the ridiculous 90% tax. Now I feel as the roblox platform is more open to the people who don’t necessarily want to waste money. Hopefully everything including trading will soon be available without having to pay money.

From the way it is worded, that’s probably what was meant – carefully expanding it.

30% is still a lot. I would like to see this go down to 10-20% hopefully in the future! :sob::grin:

Nobody sadly got back to me on my original question in April they were left out at the time intentionally or accidentally but at least now it’s confirmed it was intentional (at the time of course)

Really glad to see this finally removed because a lot of my recent work has been for small games typically gated by paid access as a way to control player numbers. By having the 70% income source it now provides more money to the entire team. I was very frustrated when exploring the 10R$ private server setup at the time to only get 1R$.

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if it was a bug when it said I got 30% or not, but I am glad to hear this!

I appreciate the compensation to how much money we can earn prior to making the sale pending time 7 days.

This, along premium payouts, is a great way to encourage new and aspiring developers to start working on content, great change!

From my knowledge this is because of the mobile people. The app stores take 30% of revenue, and over 50% of Roblox is mobile.

The title, this and other parts of the post mention “VIP Servers” and not “Private Servers”. Could you please change that?

Other than that, nice update! I have a question though - if we don’t update the prices of those products, will we just get the 10% of the revenue?

This affects non group games mostly, groups already had premium tax.

An excellent update!
Each year I get to witness these beautiful updates, at first it was how many games you could leave active at five maximum without Builders Club, and today we get the wonderful changes where we don’t need to purchase Premium to receive these features.

I’m truly proud to be apart of this community, and I do am looking forward to any greater plans in the future. :smile:

Wow, it‘s quite… it‘s really good. I really love the efforts you are doing this year. Good Job!

(P.S.: Next step would be to improve account security, but still love what you are doing!)

Tbh I’m confused if it was a dream in which I saw this happening or was it just a imagination? But dang, I’m very thankful for this change! Both non premium & premium players will have a fair chance on their development or anything related to it! Tysm Roblox & the teams! :heart:

Seeing as free private servers now exist, I don’t think they need to lower the minimum price for servers. At the minimum price, you make 7 robux from the sale, and there’s not much point in selling anything for less than that.

This is another very positive update for users who may not be able to afford or get premium. Though with this in mind, premium is becoming more and more useless for developers.

I doubt that will happen, lowering the fee can affect roblox’s profit and inflation rates.
