another problem with the gambling scheme is the Near miss effect which is the reason many people have a gambling addiction with is basically an effect where you're so close to winning but the slightest of bad luck causes you to lose it and the human brain goes: "Hey, If I continue gambling than just maybe, I'll get it" and this cycle continues

[@endportex]

Then kids begin to think that’s normal, which effects their future because the human mind being developed as a child is a sponge, so anything it learns is how it wants to operate later down the line.

They say with great power comes great responsibility but roblox abused the power to make sure the bad games are on the front page due to it not being the most popular/well made games its now only the ones that rake in the big bucks so roblox itself is assisting the games by putting them on the front page and not the games that are as popular but less money driven.

[@endportex]

Exactly

[@morecaffine7197]

roblox implemented a new system, if your game doesn't make as much money, then its not on the front page, ive seen several games such as slap battles, TDS and many more who struggle to fight aggenst the games that just have a p2w option for EVERYTHING. its quite sad because most of these games, we have seen that the developers didnt want to resort to adding p2w assets but roblox messed everything up for these devs, so that they could get more money (even though they are a BILLION DOLAR COMPANY.) and the games that were already gamepass heavy, its not a huge deal for them, because they get more reognition. Its completely rigged for actual game devs who want to make there game good, and all of these copies of games and cash grabs are stealing all of the glory for themselves because roblox allows it.

tds is the perfect example of a good, popular roblox game its towers are branched out, although its grindy you can expect atleast 2-4 refreshing updates, its gamepasses dont give a significant advantage, as I dont think theres someone crazy enough to spend 6k robux on a tower that can be obtained in the first 60 hours of playing the game you dont have to be a super pro lvl 200 with most of the event towers to enjoy the game, even badlands (third hardest gamemode) can be beaten with a squad of level 40 players if coordinated correctly honestly, tds is my favorite game on roblox currently, might be because most games are just trash but I just think its comforting

[@kalebgamez808]

Also, PTW is very looked down upon by the community, mostly because it takes hours or even days to do it the legit way, and it should be that way, because it gives you opportunities to learn how to get better.

I always hated roblox for theese. They don't even realize they are hurting their income. I'm gonna tell you one thing about Lethal Company's Developer. He was a ROBLOX DEVELOPER. He was developing for 7-8 years on Roblox but now he switched to Steam and sort of stuff. Now that dude is making MILLIONS. I hate Roblox and always will. DevEx has shitty exchange (Roblox takes like %85 the Money). I can't imagine a PRIVATE Company that couldn't care less about Money turned into this Money Hungry Monstrosity...

[@endportex]

I didn’t even know that, crazy Roblox was holding him back.

[@sniperisdispenser]

ROBLOX takes 60%.. *60 FUCKING PERCENT* (to be more precise its 56.25%) from the people who actually make the content for Roblox. At this point ROBLOX is technically stealing from creators. imo ROBLOX devs should earn double of what they currently get

[@shortyoutuber2022]

seriously tho they are producing like thousands of dollars every few seconds why do they need more

[@okgoose3305]

UGC limiteds are way more expensive to make than normal UGC since you have to pay for each copy of the item, a 10k stock item for example would be 150k robux or more depending if its a hat, face, or back accessory, apart from that, great video

[@endportex]

yeah I forgot to mention that, and roblox just takes most of that money.

[@PoweringIllegalization]

I may not have not watched the whole thing, but since the main point is the question if TDS is greedy or not, its simply no. None of the main content, that being the gamemodes and permanent towers, are locked behind paywalls. The only things locked behind paywalls are optional content (Deluxe Crates, Phantom Crates, and past event towers) that is conisdered premium (these do not include skin bundles or stuff like Cowboy or Engineer since they are accessible by putting enough time into the game). And if ur thinking about "well what about the gamepasses", again thats optional content as well as just making the optional content you would put your time in, to something you get automatically with money if you don't want to make the effort into getting those said items. And as well since the game is made by multiple people, you cannot, and I repeat this, you CANNOT expect them to put everything free and accessible. If anything, one should be incredibly grateful that most of their optional content is accessible by putting in the time and effort (Weekly Quests, Pass Rewards, and just Login Rewards). Development costs a lot of money especially if ur in a team. Roblox dev ex rates are a whole another issue i wont be bothered to get into as the main focus point was if TDS is considered greedy or not.

[@NotAe_Username]

If they were truly greedy, they’d ONLY keep towers like the engineer or cowboy ONLY behind a pay wall. Yet with engineer (Idk about cowboy anymore) you have the choice to pay for the tower or grind for it. Same with accel even tho he’s not a gamepass you can still purchase gems and buy him by doing that instead of grinding. Sure things like plushies or the premium and deluxe crates exist but they’re just skins that don’t give a special perk to them. Yeah sure event towers being locked behind a pay wall exists too but that may eventually change. So yes, TDS can be a little bit greedy here and there but they’re really a mix of greedy and generous I believe.

[@endportex]

I agree with that, the title just has to be catchy, I believe if they were REALLY greedy, they would lock good towers behind a paywall.

[@inigochicano]

Watching the video and seeing how absolutely shit the robux conversion rate is, and how scummy Roblox truly operates, I don't think they are greedy at all, even with all this income they are barely getting by. Unlike other games TDS puts in quality and effort, they take time for animations, events, reworks etc. Other games in the genre are there to maximize profits, encouraging kids to gamble, and couldn't care less about the game, it's only a tool for them to make cash. But it isn't their fault either, Roblox is the real asshole here, the fact that not only do they tolerate but ENCOURAGE devs for this behavior, creating a system where the scummiest scumbags come out on top, no wonder it happens. This is all much more well explained in the video and I basically just regurgitated the info but I'm afraid not many people know about this. The system has to change, Roblox needs to change, telling people to "stop supporting these trash games" won't be enough, kids probably won't watch or understand this video and will keep draining their parents bank account which feeds the scummy devs and Roblox, a lawsuit in my eyes is the only way for things to truly change.

[@Solar_eclipser4]

I just honestly think it’s annoying that people call tds devs lazy and say they should be able to get updates out faster, and when devs did try and do this (act 3) it went south and the event was impossible and buggy, then the community blames the devs for pushing the update when really the community was pushing it. TL/DR tds devs get too much hate when they’re trying their hardest

[@endportex]

That’s fax

[@nachosrune3919]

If I'm not mistaken, the Krampus event was also made in a very short period of time, but this time it didn't come with so many bugs, and most people liked the event because it innovated with that mechanic of skipping bosses and using that map transition in a much cleaner and smoother way, in addition to the Christmas missions and the battle pass, you can see the effort they were putting in to compensate for the previous event

[@pylotheric9777]

​@@nachosrune3919krampus revenge also gave them more time to develop update 2.0.0, so putting out this event quickly was smart on their part

[@Ukennyai]

​​@@nachosrune3919yes, Xmas2023 was made in 2 weeks, but it reuses enemies from past xmas events which saved a lot of time, and because it saved a lot of time testers had more time to test the event and find most of the bugs

[@verifiedbaconv]

The difference is. TDS can unlock the towers with money, and you can get money very easily. but most of the others aren't, for example TTD it needs you to gamble to have a chance to get the BEST tower

[@eloisatesoro9606]

True another reason why i quit

The point of a tower defense game is to grind for the best towers, not to gamble and get the "best tower", and is it rlly a tower defense game if you get duplicate towers?

Yeah we can excuse those years, 2023 was reworks I believe in preparation for this years updates.

[@sonofradar9745]

yeah devs are doing really well on tds because they got a lot of devs that they hired to update and are now cooking updates and pushing them out weekly

[@Mysticalskeleton]

to be honest, it isn’t THAT greedy because you can/could’ve got everything that cost robux for free (except some skins I think) but compared to games to pet simulators which charge $250 for a VIRTUAL PET I think it is not p2w but just a option . in summary tds isn’t p2w compared to other games on Roblox but it it isn’t required, also all the devs need to be paid so it makes sense how some cosmetics/ merch is money.

[@endportex]

That’s why I wouldn’t be claiming their greedy if they weren’t on Roblox, they would has less monetization. But it’s fine as long as the game doesn’t have 500 pop ups and doesn’t require pay 2 win.

[@Mysticalskeleton]

@@endportex it doesn’t really REQUIRE p2w as most things that cost robux also btw there is like barely any pop ups unlike some obbies, because they charge robux to skip the entire obby, also funnily enough I think tdx is more p2w because you have to grind more in the early-mid game.

tds is a very well made game but once they started rereleasing rare skins and more updates mainly based on robux, i ended up quitting. i started playing tds in 2021 and quit at the start of 2023. at first i thought they were greedy (which in a way they kind of are) (its roblox’s fault tho definitely) and i dont wanna spend bank on the game. i find it so unfair that skins from previous updates started getting rereleased (which makes the game pointless and the only thing u can do is grind endlessly or spend money for some skins that are worth nothing.) its sad but i believe tds will eventually die due to lack of updates and the gameplay getting repetitive, unless all of a sudden roblox fixes the stupid devEx rates. also great video, very informative and the first tds video ive watched in over a year. underrated.

[@endportex]

Thank you, I agree, but I think that what they did in the christmas update could save their game. If they stop making a whole new batch of enemies and ruse old ones, (or mostly) for events, they can be released more often and a lot sooner. That could save the game.

Also the actual conversion rate (Based on the $1 --> 80 R$ transaction) would be $0.012 US dollars, which is much more than the 0.0035 they give, which means roblox is taxing robux transactions as soon as you buy them! I personally play Tower Battles, but TDS isn't that bad, at the very least much better than SKIBIDI TOILET TOWER DEFENCE.

[@Goblin_Hater_37]

The *ONLY* thing these cash grab td games have over TDS and that other one that’s similar (the extreme one which isn’t a cash grab), is the level select system, ASTD has one of the best one in my opinion. Has multiple little area things you go into, you choose the one for the type of mode you want, then clock exactly what level you. Meanwhile in TDS and the other one you have to sit around and wait for the level and mode you want to finally appear which just gets rather annoying. That’s just the only problem I got with them and what keeps me from playing them (I already quit the child gambling ones already long ago)

In my opinion UTD devs is trying to make the game with more graphics, but the real problem is the gambling, if you look at content creators of UTD you will that most of they videos are something like “trying to get Celestial Gil” or “Rolling until i get the new tower that is 0,0000001”, if you think, why they doesn’t change the mechanic of UTD? , the reason is gambling is addictive and there are so many TOWERS, these towers are trash and good, if they take out gambling system it would be a chaos! Why? Because most of the towers are trash, so that why gambling system is effective there, not smt like TTD, most of they towers are useful or OP, there are a little bad towers, TTD could change his mechanic but for UTD is almost impossible, why? Most part of the game is concentrated in gambling, change this mechanic could be end into a chaos, and it would take a lot of time if this ever happens, so what do you think?

Theres also some people in the community downgrading TDS over outdated TD game saying that TDS copied said game.

[@SleepyLuigi]

Around 2022 TDS got me so stressed when they first released elf camp because the only people who would play the challenge with me were young kids who weren’t good at the game- so I bought it. And I’m pretty sure that was the last gamepass I ever bought.

[@bigboy1336]

80 %... 80 % is the amount of money that roblox takes away from developers. 100 dollars turns to just 20, 10 to 2, ect. Roblox is outright abusing their developers. Worse yet they use a dead coding language so that barely anything translates to other engines. i loathe this danm platform, only reason i stick around is for devs that put passion into their projects, the very same devs that roblox is trying to kill out.

[@_Abgehoben]

i knew that. You cant make less money if a single side game IN A GAME (Roblox) is having player numbers around 50k players AT ONCE every minute like a whole good game from steam for example. I would say roblox is the most played game ever with great distance to minecraft or fortnite. Probably around 100 million allways every time

[@Energy_maskling]

out of tds for a sec, people call Flowers (owner of tsb) greedy and money hungry because he mase a new moveset that only top donaters can get and also added a emote search bar for 99 robux... but in the hunt after the strongest egg ran out, people got upset and what did Flowers do? he spent 40 million robux for a restock, what else could he have done with that? cashed it out for 150,000 us dollars

[@nolantaylor9207]

i like how even though tds doesnt make much money they still made it where that you can get the premium crate without spending robux

[@rayyanzharifbinsyamsulannu8618]

If only Roblox gave them enough money to finish update that are delayed and i think its Roblox fault.

[@darealfireplayz]

Compare to bladeball,pet simulator tds absolutely flipping not greedy.they low the bobux crate cost,with quests their is a chance that you can get deluxe,phantom crate as f2p,and there are no gamebreaking p2w towers

[@XxPedro86xX]

TDS has money but the updates sometimes end up not being good, for example Halloween 2023 was good but suffered a lot of hate because in addition to many bugs and the event being terribly difficult, they had to make several correction updates, the cutscenes with no animation and they could hire an animator ''something they didn't do'' and nowadays they only do small updates and not big ones like summer events or events like that with lots of items and lots of things and towers that were shown to the public, but were never released (like the hacker, the kingpin, the juggernault, etc.) this is something I really hate on TDS (below is a good creator but sometimes ends up ruining the game a little)...

[@teclante28]

i mean,to be fair, the skibid tower defence that u showed the 0,01 % change was made by 2 (not so experienced) devs . sometimes they hired people to make the map .

[@endportex]

Still, I feel like updates should be dedicated to quality and not crappy events that rake in more players to gamble.

[@proatplanes]

I'm a solo dev that knows a bit of everything and I can assure you, if you spend even 1 hour on every unit or enemy you can make it way better than what they have

[@teclante28]

at least when i watched the video and said about it,i did not know that they updated the game, now with a unit that cost 699 robux i thing @@endportex

toilet tower defense on bottom🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@literalwatermelon7391]

This is in complete contrast to Fortnite's form of supporting its map creators. While fortnite maps created by community member can vary in quality. It's said that a single map creator that has a decent concurrent player count can make up to $100k a year. Epic gives about 40% of their entire revenue (profit from creative probably) to map creators.

[@dumbvillage9253]

I can't really blame tds for being greedy in it's current state when as of right now you don't even have to grind for accel or stuff to actually win in this game now. Simple as. Also people make games has also a made a great video on how exploitative Roblox is.

[@cheesyjervisisbored]

roblox rlly needs to recognize teams making quality updates not 2 people studios like ttd

[@a_person7815]

Honestly I’ve been noticing Roblox promoting cash grabby games, I used to not enjoy tds’ “greediness” but I now realize that they do this because of Roblox forces them. Personally as a fairly unknown roblox game dev, I’ve noticed how my tower defense game barely gets traction cause I’m unable to put in money. And it annoys me how games like Toilet Tower Defense get recognition for generating a lot of money. tl;dr: used to hate tds for greed, realized as a small roblox dev that roblox promotes games that make money.

[@a_person7815]

Also don’t wanna sound like a walking advertisement, but if you’re interested in my td game the name is: Project: Wreverence

[@rqndomdud-gh3xc]

Ttd developers get paid mostly by their channels which means if tds made one showing things like what updates and things that they were going to add they could probably add updates much quicker because they could pay their developers more .

[@personfromtds7324]

They did.

[@RonElias-rd7qz]

You made some great points in this video, but I feel like TDS still makes a lot of money off the game, even when considering Roblox's 70% revenue tax. For example; We could look at gamepasses such as the VIP gamepass (, which costs 400R$), and has over 30k (guaranteed) sales. After doing Roblox's revenue tax, the amount of Dollars it totals to is: 29,400 USD off ONE gamepass. I'm too tired to calculate how much every gamepass has made the TDS developers, as there's plenty, so knowing that the VIP gamepass has the most sales and is the gamepass that made them the most money, they probably made about 100,000 USD off all of the gamepasses combined. There's also other smaller factors such as: Deluxe Crate (250R$) , Phantom Crate (250R$) , Premium Crate (80R$) , paying Robux to level up in the seasonpass (The amount of R$ depends on the level) , buying gifts (200R$ for each), (buyable) coins and gems (The amount of R$ depends on the amount of gems/coins). Also, I don't think the developers lack funds because they even managed to rent/buy an office of their own in Illinois in the name of Paradoxum Games (I'm pretty sure). BUT, you do have some great points, like the great size of the TDS developing team, and they also have to pay all of them, so they could also have a roof over their head. as you already mentioned in the video, the Plushies and merchandise are probably their greatest source of income, because once they sell something, they "only" have to pay the IRS (a little bit compared to Roblox) and that's it. I still do believe that they make a lot of money, otherwise they wouldn't even bother updating the game and would follow games like Toilet Tower Defense which are effortlessly made/updated just for the creator's benefit. Edit: I'm sorry if I bored you with this SPEECH 😅

[@kripsy4512]

Even if its montly sale, the devs are being paid just enough for a living. Also the roblox game market is as sustainable as if you pour your entire living into a random chinese company that manufactures plastic toys. You are not sure your money is going somewhere, you cant "quality check" the product to see if its up to standard. Your devs might be spending 50K on animation idk it hazbin a long time. Just know that you cant even assure if the money is going somewhere, or if it's worth the effort. Every update the team are basically gambling their life savings on an update players might not even like.

[@RonElias-rd7qz]

​@@kripsy4512 TDS earns more than games such as JAILBREAK, Build A Boat For Treasure, Arsenal, and more than a LOT of big games too (Even more than PSX, though it did drop in revenue and in CCU since PS99 released). To what I know, the owners of the games I've listed can live comfortably with no worries. TDS does seem to pour a lot of money into every update but in return they make a lot of money. Further fueling the developers to continue working on the game, as it's profitable for them.

[@proatplanes]

29,400 USD may seem like a lot and it is, but at MOST that can pay 2 people, for part time jobs.

[@RonElias-rd7qz]

@@proatplanes I agree with that, but their main sources of income are not even the gamepasses, they sell thousands of plushies and merchandise at prices they make a decent amount of money from and that alone makes them be able to pay everyone in the developing team

[@slateskinOSC]

But, they have a LITERAL dev team to pay. You're thinking about it as if all this revenue is going to one dev.

[@hoangminh2524]

i hate roblox for thinking this out, they should take all the games same fees or shouldve made like a board on how much robux they take depending on the makings per month like a tax collector, if someone doesnt pay then you could just temporarily shut it down.
