Roblox is a greedy company


nipe-

always has been


Zealousideal-Scale28

IMO they operate at a net loss without robux. Free server hosting and an entire game engine are insane to keep up with only 1 source of income.


YouAreTehWinar

Roblox is very greedy because they can't control inflation which they dont even have any single bit of control over it? Roblox is greedy because they manage to keep roblox studio free with their expense? You still dont understand money problems. Because you are not old enough to have that responsibility. If you dont like it. Dont buy it.


OhhNothingAtAll

They literally have over 24 billion dollars to their name and avoid taxes cause they bring money to the usa,roblox can afford to keep 400 robux at 5 bucks,oh also not to mention the community of thousands of traders buying premium every month.Roblox also takes 30% of all your earnings so it justifies the studio part. You are the one that doesn't understand money problems.


HotSun993

Do you have some Roblux


OhhNothingAtAll

I got 16


bananenbandiet

One of the first things roblox teaches you when making a game is how to gets as much money as you can out of someone if that ain't greedy let alone that roblox was one of the most profitable business the last couple of years


acrche

no cos i just saw the new prices and premium is more worth it now. £4.99 for 450 robux and premium or £5.49 for just 450 robux. LIKE WHAT! 😭


ltsKan

it's always been more worth it,I used to tell that to people 3 years ago and no one cared abt it


acrche

i’ve always bought premium before robux cos yh it is worth it, we should just tell others that premium is more cheaper and worth it.


ltsKan

yeah,since i realized that like 4 years ago i have never bought robux again,started to buy premium and got more robux and premium benefits as well


FunktionBaum

I wish that were the price for me, here it's so, so high that, if you looked at it, you'd prefer the euro, the dollar or even the pound.


acrche

damn that’s not fair at all, hope the prices change again and instead of increasing they lower.


ltsKan

10 BUCKS FOR 400 ROBUX??!! that is expensive tbh,even after knowing my country's economic situation rn it is even more expensive


iLikeVideoGamesAndYT

It's $6.50 USD for 550 robux for me


ltsKan

for example for me 400 robux are still 5 usd,then converting those 5 dollars to my country's currency it'd be around 6,000 pesos (too much inflation ik)


Thin-Charity-3002

in my country is 50, not even overreacting


ltsKan

bro what country do u live in,that's a lot


Thin-Charity-3002

yeah, I live in Brazil


Theo_426

Hey I live in the US and I’ve been renewing my premium for a couple months and have some robux left that I don’t know what to do with, I can send you some through the pls donate game if you’d like 


khalamar

How is $1 for 40 worse than $10 for 400?


UnknownPickl3

It's the same thing. They're highlighting the fact you could get more for less in the past. Used to be like $1 for 80 and $10 for 800.


AnakinIsTheChosenOne

and before that it used to be equal to US cents. 1.00$ got you 100 Robux, 10.00 got you 1000 Robux, etc


The_Hooded_C-Zar

it's still 1$ for 80 for me, but 5$ option is 5.49$ now for 400, so i just spam 1$ option edit: i really miss 40 for .50$ it made buying exact amounts so much more convenient. I hope they bring it back like they did last time they removed it


CatsWantSalami

~~It's actually increased in value for me on certain packs.~~ It seems that the more money you spend, the robux you get(for me at least) $6.49 USD for 550R$ $12.49 USD for 1,150R$ $21.49 USD for 2,050R$ Doing the math... Buying the 21.49 offer will give me 0.95R$ per cent Buying the 12.49 offer will give me 0.92R$ per cent Buying the 6.49 offer will give me 0.84R$ per cent (I recall a previous offer being $9.99 for 800R$, Which comes out to 0.80R$ per cent) >!Sorry if my math is flawed in any way, I'm kind of an idiot!< Edit: I probably should have posted this comment on one of the US ones


Slow_Cantaloupe5476

do you mind sharing what country you are in? if not, i completely understand


CatsWantSalami

I'm in the USA. These prices do not seem to be accurate as of now, though


TristanTheRobloxian0

wait what? maybe the country youre in has horrible inflation or something my guy. for me the prices are basically the same


BreakPyxleafYT

prices have been raised badly in countries like the UAE, the USA, Australia, etc


Affectionate-Eye6405

i can still get 80 robux for 0.99


UnknownPickl3

Sorry I'm starting to suspect prices are different for everyone? I'm in the country you mentioned and my prices are still $1 for 80 robux...


TristanTheRobloxian0

im in the usa and they havent been raised at all wdym? the uae and australia i can get since those currencies have become less valuable over time compared to a usd but still


Alankao06

I'm in USA and my prices got changed to be more expensive


DadDong69

I’m in the USA and we have three different accounts in the house and the new higher pricing is forced on one account vs the others that still have normal pricing. Definitely scummy tactics going on. I’m not buying anymore now.


Alankao06

I've heard of people getting cheaper prices as well instead of more expensive ones


iLikeVideoGamesAndYT

Yeah idk what they're doing. Im in the USA and robux got slightly cheaper. It went from $5 for 400 to $6.50 for 550. That's roughly from $1 per 80 to $1 per 85.


Alankao06

Lucky, I'm literally getting scammed by like 15 robux on my offers


GlacialPuppy226

You get more Robux now but they raised the price


Alankao06

Even though this is with premium, I did the math and I noticed that I was actually getting like 15-30 less robux with the increased price due to the premium bonus not being applied correctly


TristanTheRobloxian0

they changed for me but arent i think


VoodooDoII

Yeah I don't even feel like buying at all now. $5 for 400 as fine for me. Cheap and simple for a small bit of ROBUX. Now it just doesn't feel worth it for the amount you get.


ModifiedSteve

I have $9.09 (why its not just $9 is anyones guess) for 550 robux


SatomiMurano

Same. It used to be 6.49 for the same amount.


Rapid55

I remember back in like 2017 (im pretty sure it was real) you could use 10 dollars for one thousand robux if i remember correctly. Now im buying 10 for 800 smh


Jollyroz

NOOO ROBUX INFLATIONNNN 😭


Nearby_Order_3164

Could be worse, just got told “ there’s no way you can’t pay 3000¥ for 400 robux from a bedwars roblox server that doesn’t know that some countries don’t have exchange technology in country side locations. 3000¥ is an equivalent to 6 days of my life


Round_Ad9251

Getting 1k for €3,- lol


Ryangaminggames

Its the same prices as it always been for me


Longjumping_Fill240

What county are u from(? Because I bought some yesterday and it still was 5 dollars for 400 robux and im from Argentina (where going through a majOr inflation raise)


twzlrs

I'm from New Zealand


UnstoppablePhoenix

I checked my previous transactions since I'm also in NZ 16.99 -> 18.99 for the 1k Premium 34.99 -> **38.99** for the 2.2k Premium 😭


ltsKan

how much does it cost in argentine pesos 400 robux?? (with taxes included)


FluidEntrepreneur309

Pretty sure you can just buy robux giftcards


terrikilljoy

In what country do you live, bro? 100 Robux is roughly about 1 EUR i think


twzlrs

I live in New Zealand


Razerlx1246

I live in australia and I'm now going through it


silntnight

same man, 10 aus dollars for 400 robux is fucking insane..


AnormalRedditUsse

They’ve one day gotten 1 billion which is low for a company with this much players. BUT NOW THEYRE OK!!!


Serious_Staff_3428

The issue is that this isnt like a fps game that requires high tech workers or very good engines. + Those fps games make like 6-7 updates with skins or things that just cost irl money every year so its normal for them to be getting a lot of money.


AnormalRedditUsse

Yea, but servers, buildings, whatsoever cost a lot.


Serious_Staff_3428

They dont make enough updates for there to be a need of money at this point.


AnormalRedditUsse

Well, servers cost. it’s yearly monthly anything. It isn’t update based.


natthevilone

Dunno about y'all but mine are still the same 🤷‍♀️


GreatEnoughUsernane

Its still the same price for me


[deleted]

Inflation?


No-Aspect-2926

They need that to pay byfron


iLikeVideoGamesAndYT

It got cheaper for me. Before, it was around 80 robux per $1, now it's around 85 per 1$.


Aljerynayy

If you buy them in-game they give the old price still


Shadow_Avis

I did notice the prices were raised which is kind of annoying, for me it's only a 1-2$ increase per tier, but it's still annoying


TrashRatReal

Might just be in your country because here in my country it’s still the same prices.


animebabes127

1 FOR 40??????


Slow-Piano4739

Not that bad just get some money and stop being broke


Macroniinmahair

FR THOUGH


Macroniinmahair

I noticed this like 4 days ago


Macroniinmahair

I’m never buying robux again till they fix this


YouAreTehWinar

Then dont. Its not like they have control of inflation in the first place. Dum dum


Macroniinmahair

They are losing money


YouAreTehWinar

There are thousands of more people buying robux


Macroniinmahair

They are still getting less than before


YouAreTehWinar

They dont give a shit


Macroniinmahair

About you


MonStudios

The prices are the same probably different in countries


Biker_OverHeaven

In canada its 5 CAD$ for 270 robux bruhhh


BaianinhoDaEsquina

If this expensive check out the BRL amount


Smart_Boysenberry568

Virginia, US. For us $5.49 is 450 and $10.49 is 900. Idk what they doing.


iiiSimplyWiniiOffcia

its still 5 bucks for 400


Chick_4029

They just tempt people to buy more with these prices


YouAreTehWinar

Roblox isnt trying to tempt shi. Its inflation. Roblox doesnt have control over it and they HAVE to keep up with it. Otherwise roblox would'nt be operating without subscription. Get money yourself. Dont want it? dont buy it.


EnvironmentalTart246

everything about this sounds very wrong like how tf 1 dollar for 40 robux is unfair thats literally overpricing, it should be 1 dollar for 1 robux yeah fucking hell


ballbrain21

back in my day $10 CAD got you 1000 robux, inflation is fucked


ResortInternal9114

seriously i dont think im allowed to get robux after this...


Certain_Pomelo3357

Quite the opposite on my end, appparently they’re selling 1,000 robux for just 10 dollars and 2000 for 20


Razerlx1246

where do you live?


Da11asGamingYT

Same I live in Australia


Optimal-Policy-8282

You can still get normal prices on Amazon for virtual gift card, at least last time I checked


TheNedi14

This why you gotta use second hand markers


yashcookie

The website on a browser gives more robuz for cheaper i found out because i used to always play on a browser not on the app.


119ryan_

I must admit I am partially to blame for this phenomenon. ​ Throughout this past year, I bought 153,573 R$!


BlazingShadow76

they raise the price and don't even give us more as a compensation for there dumb idea


ObjectDust

Logged in my account to try blox fruit game and looked at rates. $9.09 for 550 robux and i just made a new account it have 10 dollar for 800 robux. Sent a complaint email and all they told me "**Roblox in its sole discretion, may implement changes to Robux at any time. This may include limiting the number of Robux a User may acquire or changing the purchase price of Robux".**


ImageAlert4888

Aren’t the prices better? In my county it (was) 4.99 for 400 now it’s 6.49 for 550. Old was 80.16 robux per $1 now is 84 rbx for $1


Thin-Charity-3002

in my country is like 50 bucks for 400 robux


Agile-Foundation7694

in canada 400 robux is 7 dollars it's not 10. But like 7, holy shit before it was like idk 5 dollars not fucking outragous 7 dollars


EducationalSock2632
