[@DestroboyB]

I'm pretty sure they don't have it any more, but back in the day they had an even smaller currently (I think called tix or something) that you'd get like 10 of every like 5 days you played and after you saved up like 100 tix you could buy 1 robux. But the kicker, is that every single day, the eachange rate between tix and robux would fluctuate up and down like a real stock market because of people buying and selling robux, so some days it would be 85-1, and others it would be 200-1

[@insanelymad8490]

[@johnnytsunami420]

Im just gonna say what's so generally uneasy about this: kids in their developmental stages should be no where near this thing. It should not be received with any enthusiasm. It really is one of the most foul tactics I've seen a company use. Kids don't have the maturity to understand that not everything has to be for some sort of value or monetary goal. This will start to shape their thinking to that perspective and incentivize greed, cutthroat strategies. And again, kids don't have the matured ego or esteem that would usually tell someone when there's a limit. But they're kids and theyll get all excited to do their best not fully comprehending that this method isn't the best for them. It's just what they were fed and man that is so sad... kids should be kids and be able to have a break just like the rest of us. Some things are fun just to experience them and I fucking hate that a "game" company would rob children of this. I hate them.

In most Roblox dev teams the term "game designer" is met with confusion, I think I just realised why game design isn't really a part of the process on Roblox, everyone just keeps stealing ideas and maybe mixing them together a bit.

[@TheFucay26]

What you talked about at 11:55, is there a certain reason why amazon 'scaled to profitability' at that point in time specifically? You talked about stopping/reducing investments but amazon is still expanding in many different directions at large scales. My guess would be that the networking effects (probably the most important factor for a logistics company?) were getting stronger exponentially at that point but maybe someone else knows more about this.

I played his DayZ remake a long time ago, called Apocalypse Rising I believe. The game at first became one of the most popular games on the Roblox website, before it slowly died due to exploiters. However, I believe there is a remake of Apocalypse Rising called Apocalypse Rising 2, which requires 100 robux to play but it's cool.

Just to let you know. It used to be even worse with Roblox only giving 250 dollars from 100k Robux. However, you'd earn Robux whenever a large amount of people would be joining your game passively. Which is now only related to people with a bought subscription/membership. And you will also need a subscription/membership in order to do the transaction from Robux to dollars in first place, lol.

[@cericat]

It was mentioned in PMG's video he's reacting to, same as company script. The 100k is still the minimum for a withdrawal and there's now an asterisk on the rate that says "old Robux may be exchanged at a different rate" with the link giving no data and the alleged 350 USD being drawn into question as to accuracy back in 2019. To put it politely Roblox is a shitshow and deliberately opaque AF for devs. And we won't even get into how they handle stolen robux situations...

this video didnt even mention the giant amount of copyright infringement happening on the website. about 40% of the front page use trademarked characters, sounds etc., mainly from cartoons and movies. lots of the games even use the same names. then there is also the "bypassing" community which is a quite large subgroup of players finding methods to upload explicit content to roblox, e.g. songs with swears, t-shirts with adult content, or even full on games that allow players to have coitus with one another. i don't know if all of this still applies the way it used to in 2016 but I'm sure it didn't improve by much

[@pal8492]

As someone who played semi-consistently for a decade, they only recently got better. - The payout like 2 years ago was $250/100k Robux - If you didn’t pay for their subscription, instead of the 30% fee, on Robux you make, it was 70% I will say that the ad system is pretty good in terms of gaining interest. For 50 cents I got 7000 impressions, 400 clicks, and 90 people playing my game. After spending $5 and a week later, my game had around 50 active players Oh and developers are also scamming other developers. I made a song for one of the top 50 games and I got 1000 robux.. I will say, I remember seeing that Roblox High School 2 was looking for 2 developers and they were paying 1.5 million robux/ month which is like $60k USD

The thing this video didn’t talk about was how much money it was making off of just ROBUX it’s self. Kids spend sooooooo much of their parents money on robux like an insane amount

[@Aw3som3-117]

Btw, the exchange rate when withdrawing $350 of Robux is factored into the 75.5% cut that Roblux takes. Not that that makes it any better. As pointed out in the video, that's way too freakin' much. I just wanted to make that clear. How much you keep from the transaction times the exchange rate = 0.7*0.35 = 0.245 = 24.5%

Surprised that the language roblox uses for scripting wasn’t even mentioned.

Part of why you can’t go anywhere else if your game does badly on roblox (like they mentioned).

[@mootsboots1528]

The only way to beat the Roblox system is to become a Roblox focused streamer/youtuber. If you become popular the money you make from videos will be most likely taxed less from KZbin than from Roblox. Plus, if you become a big enough Roblox content creator you get a ‘Star Code’ in which you can promote to people when they’re buying robux to get a cut for yourself (similar to Creator Codes).
