Sophia P, helpful answer. But there is more to it, roblox has things that cost robux so they can make money. Without robux they wouldn't make money; not have devs to pay as they dont make money, then the game would go way downhill.

Well not everything cost robux there are some free accesory but ROBLOX is free game they wouldn't make money if there wasn't something to pay so they added robux instead of tix that were free beacuse if they didn't ROBLOX wouldn't be here today beacuse there would be no devs to work and company would go down not so slow that's why there are robux that you buy
Yes I do miss tix beacuse you get them by simply playing the game but there would be no ROBLOOX if tix were still there

They have to pay for servers, electricity, wifi, heating, cooling amd much more. They need more money to do so, thats why.

Roblox got people making Alts to give their mains free tixs ripping the company off of thousands of real dollars. Now you have to pay for Robux so Roblox doesn't get scammed.

Roblox charges you about 10 robux to upload avatar items to the marketplace. Usually, people need/want to be able to make that money back and profit, which is fair enough. If you want to find avatar items that are free, there are actually a good amount from Roblox and even some independent developers too if you filter in terms of prices.

Robux is used to purchase stuff, it's a cycle that goes on and on. When people buy robux, they get more and more money. When you spend robux on items, robux is given to the creator of the item and gets more robux. But that's not just the true reason why items are costing robux. Roblox is fun, and when people buy robux, they make money, and that keeps the game. If Roblox came into bankruptcy, the game will be cancelled.

Because there would be no other way for the developers to actually earn money due to the game being free.

The creators and staff have to make money somehow. There is a good part to this. In 2017, there were 2 cowboy hats to help with the Hurricane Irma relief efforts. The robux was converted to USD and donated. Plus, free accessorries are on the catalog if you just look.

There are many things on roblox that are free, but not all of them. If you go to the catalog and set the filter to free items only you can get those.

First, Roblox has various of free accessorys, that are also pretty good & basic items for people that dont have Robux to choose from.@Nimmy A.
Roblox has to make a sort of income to keep the site running. They arent buying any mansions with the money, they are paying for the servers & staff etc.
With Tix (aka. "Tickets") people just created hundreds of botted accounts that are getting Tix and transferring all the TIX from the botted alts to their main. That got the Roblox Economy ruined.

Well. Roblox has to make money to keep the company running. Many people could say Roblox is greedy, but the truth is if they want to keep the site running they need some sort of income.
