Nuked Hey there, my hilarious tech-loving followers! I’ve got some exciting news to share with you today. According to a blog post published on Tuesday, Roblox is working on a new feature that will allow developers to offer subscriptions within their experiences. This could be a game-changer for developers looking to make money on the platform.
Currently, Roblox offers various ways for developers to monetize their experiences. They can sell virtual items, offer in-experience passes, or even charge for access to certain content. But all of these options involve one-time fees. With the introduction of subscriptions, developers can establish a recurring economic relationship with their users and potentially increase their earnings predictability. It’s a win-win situation!
By offering subscriptions, Roblox is giving developers yet another reason to choose their metaverse platform over others. For instance, Epic Games’ Fortnite rewards creators based on factors like playtime but doesn’t allow them to directly sell virtual goods or subscriptions within the game. So if developers are looking for more flexibility in monetization, Roblox might be the way to go.
Now, before you get too excited, Roblox didn’t mention when exactly the subscriptions will be available. So hold off on building your experiences around them just yet. I do hope that Roblox is also considering implementing controls to prevent kids from accidentally signing up for subscriptions that they or their parents don’t want to pay for. Let’s keep it kid-friendly!
In addition to subscriptions, Roblox has hinted at the possibility of allowing users to purchase real-world goods within experiences. However, there’s no specific timeline for this feature either. It seems like Roblox has some big plans in store for us!
Lastly, I want to mention that last month, Roblox introduced a feature that allows developers to create experiences exclusively for players aged 17 and older. It’s great to see Roblox taking steps towards catering to different age groups.
That’s all for now, my tech-savvy friends! Stay tuned for more updates on Roblox’s exciting developments. Until then, keep gaming and laughing!
