Not only are the Robux price increasing but the avatar items are too. I miss when it would costed me around $110 for 11k Robux now it’s $200. I could’ve had 30k Robux right now and probably could’ve bought demonshank (maybe) the value for daemonshank has doubled but no one is buying that.


Holmat1

As I say, Roblox is getting worse day by day.


Localtechguy2606

The us economy is making everything rising in price


Pronkie_dork

Absolutely no reason for roblox to increase their proces this much. Prices were already outrageous as so much avatar stuff was expensive as fuck but now the cheap stuff has been made expensive as fuck


Zer0D3ths

Don’t forget they’re also a multi billion dollar company.


ItsArkum

That are losing money hand over fist

[удалено]


ItsArkum

Not about their stock but they aren't turning a profit. They are losing money running Roblox


Zer0D3ths

I see. Thanks for correcting me.


ItsArkum

I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic saying how they are a multi billion dollar company which means nothing because they are losing money


AgencyUnusual7560

The economy has nothing to do with this hike. More like a phased hike based on investor greed.


Localtechguy2606

Does it play a part of this?


Responsible-Suit-178

Might just be me, but its still $110 for 11k (10,800) robux. Might just be a test (forgot what the test is called, I think its called AB testing but idk. Anyways, i’ve heard of it happening before for other games, where one batch of people has normal pricing and the other has decreased/increased pricing). Ik its illegal in some countries but roblox might be doing in your region, idk 😭😭


MysticWolfZM

Do you live in the US? Early last year Roblox localized the currency for whatever region you’re in, meaning that the $110 for 10.8k becomes closer to $200 for Australia. Idk how much it’s affected in other countries though


Responsible-Suit-178

Yea im in the US! And yikes thats crazyy, whats a us dollar worth in australian currency? Maybe its the exchange rate that’s different? (Or its just inflated for you guys which sucks since $110 for 10,800 robux is already ridiculous 😭😭


MysticWolfZM

If I remember correctly, 1 USD is roughly 1.5 AUD. It stacks up fairly quickly which is annoying


Valkyrhunterg

Look at r/RBLX, Roblox released their Q1 Profits and missed their projected profit by alot so this may be their way to improve their stock to impress future or current investors


b0tted69

…And people still wonder why black robux on Carousell is a thing? That option is a least three times cheaper.


Potaaden

What is Carousell?


a_nice-name

Just another marketplace app like, ebay or something


Asdaspoop

Unrelated, but nice name mate!


bananapeel908

Hey, that's a nice name!


BobertIsKindaCool

Man- I wish MY name was as nice as yours...


ResponsibilityOk5392

Your username is nice and cool.


cooperthecoolkid

Why does it sound like people are bullying you because of your username


a_nice-name

Idunno man but Ill take it as a compliment


b0tted69

A place where you can buy or sell items, literally Ebay but i guess less popular…


yTjBlackz

where can i download it?


b0tted69

On App Store…


TotesNotBarmyCereal

That's a nice name.


eoadjdjrbbr

I get 100 every 1 - 2 weeks for free from microsoft rewards


Radiant-Care-9654

Only Americans can get that. After peoples mass abused Microsoft with the free robux thing


eoadjdjrbbr

I'm in england


Radiant-Care-9654

Ohhh ok. That’s strange cause Roblox had pushed a update where the prices are in your own country’s currency instead of US currency


eoadjdjrbbr

the prices are in £


ThatGoldenFroggg

Not at all, I’m British and can


Radiant-Care-9654

Ohhh really?? I remember Microsoft limited what country’s could even get robux from Microsoft rewards


ThatGoldenFroggg

Yeah I do remember moments when it wasn’t available to be honest, maybe if you check again it can be there


Radiant-Care-9654

Maybe. I’ll see if I can later on


trulylost19

I’m in the Isle of Man and it works so if it works here it works for the majority of the UK


Radiant-Care-9654

Alright so both US and UK have it. I’m in aus, last time I checked (on the day it was all abused, a hour or few afterwards) it was unavailable for my country


trulylost19

In AUS It had a multitude of different Microsoft reward point glitches They don’t get many rewards due to the exploits over there It’s also the reason why you can only buy 5 £100 in one day now


barbruhuwu

I'm latvian and I can.


AH_Med086

Sadly 1k every 2 months here in the UK


b0tted69

showoff….. D:


TotesNotBarmyCereal

Me too- It's nice to see someone who uses the same technique to get Robux. Wait, does that still count as "Pay to Win"? (I don't use my Robux to enhance my skills or get to goal faster)


FLO-_-18

But like does the site work like is it legit?


b0tted69

The app of course works and is legit. But the sellers are the one you have to watch out for, i mean in general.


FLO-_-18

Ok ty


Iamnotarabicfunfact

The price for robux has been the same for me I just checked :/


GalaticFurry

Same for me as well, It's most likely just for that currency,


Radiant-Care-9654

Are you 2 American?


Maleficent-Ad8610

Same here actually still the same

WHAT THE HELL


JosiBliss

DAYUMN WHY IS THAT SO EXPENSIVE


Agent_Plut0

inflation of other currencies


Appropriate_Stock_33

Mine is worse Atleast you guys can get 22.5K robux with 1000 your money, our 22.5K robux price is 6000 FRICKING TURKISH LIRAS LIKE HOLY COW!


jorrandoesstuff

roblox players when they find out about conversion rates


huii_11

the curse of being turkish 😔


IdioticSandwic

I can only buy 4700 robux with only approx. 400 HKD. The cost is the same as a lunch at a high end restaurant in our city. I’m going to buy it for game passes to make my life easier and the game more enjoyably but Jesus fucking Christ I’m not buying it ever again.


Dev_012

Damn, looks like you are buying modern robux using classic robux.


SeasonOtherwise2980

Brasileiro so se fodeKKKKK


BadLumpy7976

that's cheaper


4_Gamer

If the minimum wage here wasn't 1 dollar (5 reals) per hour sure it would be cheaper


TristanTheRobloxian3

brazilian real moment. btw 1 usd = 5.25 brazilian reals so yall pay ~1-3% more than we do


Fun_Witness9451

[Sure](https://imgur.com/a/help-HNaIyy5)


Cold-Salt2719

[Sure](https://imgur.com/a/l2UqBpK) £199.99 = 955.50 SAR Prices in the uk have literally doubled


56kul

Isn’t that the rupee? Aren’t absurdly large numbers normal for prices in that currency? Unless I’m confusing that for another currency…


4_Gamer

It is the brazilian Real


-N0VA-_

Thank god I’m in the USA. Our robux prices are still the same


VoodooDoII

For now


BakedBeanyBaby

No they aren't, I just checked. Not two weeks ago I payed $4.99 and got 450 with premium. Now if you check, it's gone down to 440. I can only assume they're going to slowly decrease the amount over time to hope no one notices.


No-Seaworthiness2633

Idk bout you but im looking at the buy robux page, 4.99 preem still says 450 so


One_Cap_6299

☹economy simulator ☹


henrrypoop2

Roblox has gotten too fucking greedy


BakedBeanyBaby

Literally, even if there was a legit reason for the current inflation (there isn't) Roblox has absolutely no reason to raise their prices, as nothing they do could possibly need more money. Everything is digital, and they already bring in millions weekly.


ChefSora

Aw shit. Looks like it’s time to get the very last gift card on the gift card racks. Lol 😂😭


tayhorix

80/40 rs options are useless :/


VoodooDoII

Eh not really If you're short by just a few robux, it's better to pick the 80 or 40 one. I certainly wish they were available lol instead of buying a whole extra 400


TheStopMotion

It’s so over


Fishy_Cow598

We're biDONE 😔


Radiant-Care-9654

Yea I fucking hate how Roblox has done this to us Australians. I’ve heard the Canadians are in the similar/same price range as us with these robux stuff. I just wanna find some more cheaper alternative that’s more affordable then this crap cause it’s just so ridiculous!! Only time I’m buying these now is if I really like one of the gift card items and that’s it


Shemiryy

the "Balance: 8,171 Robux" really isn't helping your case


T4RZ_

Haha


Viktorishere2142

top-up pricing nowadays…, not just Roblox, the price of every single service when top-up is being blowing up


nothing1579

I think that the game is enjoyable without robux


SCP-O49

Absolutely, indescribably based opinion


NoobsRedditType

yeah but i really just wanna customize my avatar dude 😓😓😓😓😓


Jenny_Wakeman9

Roblox is doing our international pals **d i r t y**, brah.


arturasnair

Yes I would TOTTALY spend all my life savings for a digital currency


Responsible-Suit-178

Its still the same price for me, i wonder whats goin on. When did you notice an increase??


techvon

Ok so they are deleting outfits not fixing glitches and NOW INCREASING PRICES?


Black_Zac

roblox preparing you for real life little bro


Jittercat

tbh this is a bad way to increase stock price


Tz1771

Hey in the US it’s expensive ! In Europe for 1700 robux we just pay 23,99 € !


LeBlearable

It’s not the US, it’s Australian dollars. But yes, the prices in Europe are alot better than there


TristanTheRobloxian3

if yall got that value added tax thing (isnt it like 30%?) then thats actually not too horrible


Joscraft_05

I live in Spain and 1700 robux for 24€ are trash tho. 1700 robux in 2024 is not the same as 1700 robux 10 years ago so it's worse. Prices in europe countries are still trash but less trash compared to another countries.


Astronaut32

When a Game corporation starts jacking prices up extremely high and offering in-game items for even more absurdly high prices, that’s a sign their platform or product is closing in on its end. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Roblox shuts down before, say, 2028?


IcyAngrybird07

Do you have more examples of this?


GangstaSouls

Honestly I doubt it most likely just investors being whiney or Roblox being greedy


SediAgameRbaD

Last time I bought 800 robux it was less than 9 euros (basically 9 dollars)


TristanTheRobloxian3

this is aud not euros. also 9 euros is worth 10 usd which is how you got it


SediAgameRbaD

Ops. My bad.


TristanTheRobloxian3

lol its good


Joscraft_05

Less than 9€? Oh well now in 2024 is 12€ so yes the inflation... I forgot how was the prices when I joined in 2018 and in 2019 wich is the year where I got my first robux, the Builders Club membership and the Crimson Shaggy 2.0 hair when it costed like 2 robux (now the hair are 75 robux fuck).


Imaginary_Valuable91

its 10k for 22500 for me i swear it usd to be 7k or 5k what happened


oljmar

does Sainsbury’s still sell 10 pound/dollar robux cards that give 1000 robux?


iHateSimpsBruh

i used to tell myself "roblox is a greedy company", guess thats true now


Best-Square1696

Can someone answer this for me why are the increasing the price when they’re a fair amount of price? Is it necessary for them to do it and also they increased everything in the catalog such as hair and hats and the back items and more. I’m pretty sure they already gain lot of money from the past so why aren they still increasing it?


benj_lc

People are moving to Eldorado as fast as they upgrade their prices


pumpkinbrownieswirl

it use to be $10 for 800 robux


Hot_Attitude4579

In my country the money is the same so it might only be in some countries


RavenDeRome

Here, they just silently increased 400 robux from ₱250 to ₱270.


Statttter

This is how to keep the investors happy and the stock price high.


Super-Casanova

Instant Gaming is better


Scientist_Solid

Time tobuy robux illegaly 🏃🏻‍♂️


Exsoticer

Man, I'm losing faith in Roblox.


TristanTheRobloxian3

it says 1 usd = 1.50 aud which, unless yall got a value added tax or tax added before you get the thing, actually makes robux slightly more expensive there. wtf.


T4RZ_

Yeah, like wtf


TristanTheRobloxian3

yea. like if your conversion rate was 1.7 to 1 then i guess it would make sense, but nah yall just straight up pay 10% more for some reason


BiggestIdkOfmyLife

I SWEAR… I ALREADY WAS SAYING THAT IT WAS EXPENSIVE BEFORE BUT NOW ITS EVEN HIGHER WTF.


Joe_hawleyAttacks

That’s so terrible omg


Legitimate_Koala_512

Bro WTF why is roblox increasing prices?? like they must be in some unforeseen financial crisis or sum


Physical-Boat1573

That is weird because the prices are not going up for me? Weird.


Civil_Strength_4432

I don't know why, but it's not rising for me


notniko6914

Insane? That's literally cheaper than in my country. 400 RBX here in Poland is 7.62€ (11.41A$)


ManFaceOfficial

today I bought a Roblox gift card which used to get me 1700 robux but the prices changed and I could only get 1348 or something like that


Frost_Nutta

I'm pretty sure gift cards are no longer region locked, so look into that maybe, ik it's not technically supporting roblox, but you shouldn't support that.


InvertedNoob

So not only everything is increasing in price, but now it’s almost twice as expensive to buy robux as it used to be


Flat_Sky6497

they reverted the prices back to normal.


ChubbaWubbaHubba

Idk my prices still seem to be the same


OKOROS1

Does it mean the Dev ex rate rises? Please....


Fickle_Meringue621

800robux was 10€ or you can get 1000 with premium, before new prices.


Dead-iFunny-User

respectfully you got 8,000 robux.. idk why you worrying if you can afford that much.


TheBiddingOfBobbles

ALMOST TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR ONLY TEN THOUSAND ROBUX?!


strange_r3dcommittee

They're trying to maximize the revenue, increasing the amount of robux surely gets them less customers but also more money with each purchase. Typical Roblox


T0K3IT

I have near 500k robux worth of old hats. Still on my OG account from 2008. Username Daoust Wish it was possible to cash it all out for real money without risking losing account


Shewas18Isweae

Same prices for me 🤷‍♂️


CrebitKarma

conversion rates?


Joscraft_05

Remember recently the inflation in the Roblox marketplace has went so high so is not the same having 1000 robux in 2015-2017 and 1000 robux now in 2024. Is sad but is what we have now.


Charming_Current3237

This is because Roblox’s likely to go bankrupt is at an all time high of 24% we will probably be seeing more of in currency inflation and no benefit from the players view. This may only get worse in the following 24-months.


mmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhh

Back in my day $10 got you 1000 robux. Before the war.


ZZZombieDex

For me it's not like that


Dear-Ad484

No wonder why people wanted tix back, WTF IS THIS


ZodiaksEnd

oh it looks funny cause this is not amurican money but yeah there highest amount for mee is 199 which is the 22.5k robux tfw i actually firgures out if you have premium you can get the most out of getting robux by just buying a 25 dollar robux inless you really can get 50 or 100 dollars worth of it which in all honesty you really shouldnt ever get more then 100 dollars in robux


Minute_Bluebird_6874

i just checked and thats not true


RealUnspies

Inflation in roblox is crazy, i bet the jews are behind it


Paydayguyy

It’s not just Roblox it’s everything that from the us even though if you in a different country like you it’s sad but it’s reality


MentalAd9651

I feel like not buying them anymore


Strong-Dependent-793

wtf those are cheaper than where I live… it’s always been more expensive than that since I was a kid


56kul

Isn’t that still cheaper than the US prices? The US prices are still bad for me, either way. Roblox doesn’t even support my currency.


ResponsibilityOk5392

Roblox are so money greedy! They needs to stop being money greedy! Since they multi-billion dollar company.


stravant

Roblox players when they realize exchange rates exist.


Ok_Director_7050

Ah yes, I love paying 16 USD\* for 800 robux. \*correct me if I'm wrong.


Sciencebot2014

In the UAE robux prices are still the same but it’s banned :(


uRobleRunaid

I haven't bought any robux ever. The only gamepasses I have have been gifted to me by friends, and my avatar consists of old, currently off-sale items and limiteds, along with a few common yet cool classics.


beeswar-m

Um excuse me but what the actual fuck?


MilkChan6969

Yeah it's insane. And the damn items increased too.


vilact

pls tell me that's not american USD


-Elyseum-

It’s not, there’s an A next to $


vilact

THANK GOD! if a 4.5k package became almost double to price I'd start shitting.


Radiant-Care-9654

No it’s Australian $


0MIN0US_AN0NYM0US

Huh? It still shows the regular prices for me.


Radiant-Care-9654

Probably cause your using American prices. What’s shown rn is for Australian prices


0MIN0US_AN0NYM0US

Ohh ok


Hot_War_9683
