The odds of a new developer having their experience rise through the ranks and become profitable are extremely low. But for young Roblox developers creating experiences with the hopes of having them generate money (a goal that Roblox heavily advertises), then we're entering into potentially exploitative territory. And yet, you're paying your own real money to purchase Robux in the first place, aren't you? People Make Games draws the line of comparison to "company scrip," which seems appropriate.įor players who are just making experiences for the fun of it, this won't be an issue. This heavily incentivizes developers to keep their money in Robux rather than convert it into cash. The real kicker, though? The rate at which Roblox converts Robux back to real currency is extremely one-sided, so even though that 100,000 Robux should be worth ~$1,000, experience creators only receive about $350 when and if they try to withdraw it from Roblox. For example, your unique experience has to accumulate 100,000 Robux, the equivalent of about $1,000 USD, before you can even pull your money out of Roblox as cash instead of more Robux. People Make Games further details that Roblox's payout system is incredibly confusing and imposes high payout minimums. What becomes concerning is when you consider that the vast majority of these "experience" creators are children between 9 to 15 years old. The first bit of information this video revealed is that Roblox keeps 75% of profits made off of any experience, meaning the creator of that experience receives a mere 25% from their hard work and creativity (percentages rounded up to the nearest whole). It details the process and results of People Make Games' investigation into how Roblox allegedly compensates developers of Roblox "experiences" (user-made games playable and published exclusively within Roblox). YouTube channel People Make Games published a video on August 19, 2021, titled Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers. However, Roblox was making headlines just a few short months ago, too, in a decidedly bad way. A cursory Google search reveals the current craze in Roblox is remaking Netflix's Squid Game, which is actually pretty cool. Despite its age, Roblox has maintained a massive player base - upwards of two million active players in the U.S.
