Its response failed to address specific allegations, speaking in general terms about the increasing amount of money paid out to its developers, and the various support programs available to help its developers succeed on the platform. "You always compete with the people that have lots of money."Įurogamer contacted Roblox Corporation for comment on PMG's video. "Even though Roblox encourages you to make games, the likelihood of you making a successful game is basically zero," the boy says. The video also includes a remarkable interview with an 11-year-old boy who tried and failed to make it as a Roblox developer. PMK compares this system to historical mining and logging camps paying workers in company scrip. And, as PMG points out, Roblox buys Robux from users at a different rate than it sells them (100,000 Robux gets you $350). Meanwhile, creators cannot withdraw any Robux unless they first pay for a Roblox monthly premium subscription. This increases the chances a Roblox developer will not hit the cap and plough the money back into Roblox. If any Robux user wants to turn their Robux into real money, the minimum withdrawal amount is 100,000 Robux, which is worth around $1000. Its developers can monetise their games, and are paid in a virtual currency called Robux.Īs PMG points out, getting your game noticed among the millions available on the platform is extremely difficult - but you can use Robux to bid for an ad slot in an auction. Roblox revolves around kids making games for other kids to play.
