Users can enjoy up to 25% more Robux on computer, web and gift cards

I calculated the % in europe for premium users.

550 robux = 20% more
1100 robux = 20% more
2200 robux = 15% more
5800 robux = 25% more
12100 robux = 9% more
26400 robux = 5% more

Im curious to see what it would look like on the share image in the future.

The rates aren’t perfect, as its cheaper to buy two 1100 than it is to buy one 2200

Basing off the formula used on the first two, I’d say a more reasonable amount is 2300 or 2335, as that’s more accurate to the “25% Increase” statement.

Seems good but I just have 2 questions.

  1. Will the dev ex rate increase with this change becuase surely if a user has more of a disposable balance (the extra 200) they can afford to buy more items.
  2. Why? Why do people on computer and desktop devices get the privellage of simply more robux? Athough I like the idea I do not see why it was added.

It was added to motivate players to purchase Robux in a way that does not require Roblox to pay an app store fee.

Mobile players can do this too.

My only question is why? Is this some kind of promotion?

Because, Roblox doesn’t have to deal with App Store Rates on the Computer and Web versions of Roblox.

The entire idea is to make people desire buying Robux on the Website or on their Computers,

so that they get more Robux for the same amount of money they usually spend.

But, Roblox doesn’t have to give any cut of that money to Apple or Google if it’s not on the IOS/Android Roblox Apps.

Ta-da! :hugs:

No, the DevEx rate will remain the same.

Yeah, was hoping it would be retroactive all the way down. I made tons of purchases well over a decade ago, would be nice to get some more out of those.

Honestly, I am a bit concerned at how mobile platforms like Apple and Google may interpret this change. I’m all for lower prices for consumers and more money into the pockets of devs (!!!), but this definitely seems pretty similar to what Epic Games did with Fortnite a while back.

I know a lot of people are saying that this is different in the fact that Epic tried charging users directly on Apple through another payment platform, but this approach essentially is sending users to a different payment platform.

Might hurt revenue for the big mobile guys, and they may not like that :grimacing:. Otherwise, I approve!

So will users with a premium subscription (Like Roblox Premium 450) now receive more robux or continue to receive the same amount as it was?

great update, hopefully apple and google does not decide to be greedy like they did with epic. Guessing this is more of a word of mouth thing and mobile users won’t get any hint that they can get more Robux using a website.

Will this apply to amazon etc. digital gift cards?

Late, but my guess is that it’s an incentive to buy Robux from the website/desktop app, as purchases from other methods such as through mobile or console, are subject to a 30% fee, meaning that Roblox only gets 70% of the revenue from the purchase.

You are right. Thats I think the main reason.

This is honestly such a big win for developers, I think. PC players are also more likely to play games for longer, and are overall a very good market to advertise to, though usually less in players than mobile. Taking control away from the very expensive fees associated with the mobile scene and putting it back into PC player’s hands, strategically, sets a precedent I am whole-heartedly in favor of for an almost uncountable amount of reasons.

More income from the most dedicated playerbase, as well as a stance against the excessive app store fees associated with Google and Apple. What’s more to love?

Will premium purchases stack an extra 10% onto the 25% when purchasing robux?

The answer is yes to this.
For 49.99 the original price is 5,250 for me and now it is 5,800 with premium.
