Rubbish Roblox update, charging players to visit games

Roblox have announced that they are beta testing a new feature where BC builders have the choice to charge players 50 robux to play their games. Once a player has bought the pass for the game, they can visit that game as many times as they like, however so many people have not even got 10 Robux so they can't go on any games which cost Robux. Basically, this is just an update which will give Roblox more money because little kids are going to want to buy Rubux, it won't help anyone. Roblox think it will help get the better games on the home page but that has already been solved with the new rating system. Here's what Roblox had to say:
Paid access gives ROBLOX game creators the ability to require that players pay to access their games. Think of it like selling a permanent subscription to a MMO — players pay once and receive unlimited access to the content. The benefits are myriad: you have an opportunity to generate more Robux, paid-access games will have their own category on the Games page (meaning another opportunity to rise to the top), and the feature further encourages high-quality content (players won’t pay for access to a bad game). It will also tie into our Top Earning sort, thereby diversifying the techniques you can use to get noticed in that list. The decision to take advantage of paid access is entirely up to the game creator.

So basically Roblox want more money, so they are considering charging players to visit games.

I'll be posting more about this later today, so stay tuned.
