Roblox FORCED TDS To Become Greedy 

Do you think Roblox will ever change to help quality games? Our Gaming Discord! discord.gg/5EkngjmVvv

fire video, roblox really does have many issues with the kinds of monetization it promotes

Lethal company was made by a former Roblox developer, probably because he had enough of being under-paid by Roblox, that is probably why he moved to Steam to make his own game.

another problem with the gambling scheme is the Near miss effect which is the reason many people have a gambling addiction with is basically an effect where you're so close to winning but the slightest of bad luck causes you to lose it and the human brain goes: "Hey, If I continue gambling than just maybe, I'll get it" and this cycle continues

They just lower the robux crates Premium: 80 robux Deluxe: 250 robux

They say with great power comes great responsibility but roblox abused the power to make sure the bad games are on the front page due to it not being the most popular/well made games its now only the ones that rake in the big bucks so roblox itself is assisting the games by putting them on the front page and not the games that are as popular but less money driven.

I don't think TDS is greedy, I would think that TDS is just trying to balance out the game, for the people who want to buy their way to success.

tds is the perfect example of a good, popular roblox game its towers are branched out, although its grindy you can expect atleast 2-4 refreshing updates, its gamepasses dont give a significant advantage, as I dont think theres someone crazy enough to spend 6k robux on a tower that can be obtained in the first 60 hours of playing the game you dont have to be a super pro lvl 200 with most of the event towers to enjoy the game, even badlands (third hardest gamemode) can be beaten with a squad of level 40 players if coordinated correctly honestly, tds is my favorite game on roblox currently, might be because most games are just trash but I just think its comforting

I think that Raz actually left because of this problem. Because he couldn't get paid enough.

I may not have not watched the whole thing, but since the main point is the question if TDS is greedy or not, its simply no. None of the main content, that being the gamemodes and permanent towers, are locked behind paywalls. The only things locked behind paywalls are optional content (Deluxe Crates, Phantom Crates, and past event towers) that is conisdered premium (these do not include skin bundles or stuff like Cowboy or Engineer since they are accessible by putting enough time into the game). And if ur thinking about "well what about the gamepasses", again thats optional content as well as just making the optional content you would put your time in, to something you get automatically with money if you don't want to make the effort into getting those said items. And as well since the game is made by multiple people, you cannot, and I repeat this, you CANNOT expect them to put everything free and accessible. If anything, one should be incredibly grateful that most of their optional content is accessible by putting in the time and effort (Weekly Quests, Pass Rewards, and just Login Rewards). Development costs a lot of money especially if ur in a team. Roblox dev ex rates are a whole another issue i wont be bothered to get into as the main focus point was if TDS is considered greedy or not.

If they were truly greedy, they’d ONLY keep towers like the engineer or cowboy ONLY behind a pay wall. Yet with engineer (Idk about cowboy anymore) you have the choice to pay for the tower or grind for it. Same with accel even tho he’s not a gamepass you can still purchase gems and buy him by doing that instead of grinding. Sure things like plushies or the premium and deluxe crates exist but they’re just skins that don’t give a special perk to them. Yeah sure event towers being locked behind a pay wall exists too but that may eventually change. So yes, TDS can be a little bit greedy here and there but they’re really a mix of greedy and generous I believe.

I always hated roblox for theese. They don't even realize they are hurting their income. I'm gonna tell you one thing about Lethal Company's Developer. He was a ROBLOX DEVELOPER. He was developing for 7-8 years on Roblox but now he switched to Steam and sort of stuff. Now that dude is making MILLIONS. I hate Roblox and always will. DevEx has shitty exchange (Roblox takes like %85 the Money). I can't imagine a PRIVATE Company that couldn't care less about Money turned into this Money Hungry Monstrosity...

Thanks for shedding light into this topic so the devs. Can get the credit they need

UGC limiteds are way more expensive to make than normal UGC since you have to pay for each copy of the item, a 10k stock item for example would be 150k robux or more depending if its a hat, face, or back accessory, apart from that, great video

The difference is. TDS can unlock the towers with money, and you can get money very easily. but most of the others aren't, for example TTD it needs you to gamble to have a chance to get the BEST tower

Oof I missed the premiere, at least I made it now! Amazing Video!!

roblox is getting to greedy ngl

I'm largely removed from the big roblox game community [Only gamepass I got ever was from Survive The Killer] and holy crap I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole went. Incredibly infortmative video. Liked and subbed.

I read about 100 comments on this video and I will join in with saying, DANG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, you been cooking some fine videos.

I've just consumed knowledge I didn't even know I could comprehend. Keep up the good content bro

Growing up i looked back at all of the cashgrab games i played like tds astd clash royal and others and i wish i had discovered 2drpg games earlier

W video, underrated channel, I’m subbing!

Its just now that i realised how bad i am to the tds devs and as a community. Thanks for telling me about this information and i feel like i will start playing tds more often.

poor tds its the only game that made me start playing td games thank you for telling us whats the resson that tds is delaying it

man ur so underatted, really hope this gets tons of views, because it already looks like it is

I just honestly think it’s annoying that people call tds devs lazy and say they should be able to get updates out faster, and when devs did try and do this (act 3) it went south and the event was impossible and buggy, then the community blames the devs for pushing the update when really the community was pushing it. TL/DR tds devs get too much hate when they’re trying their hardest

I love people who take risks on their channel to expose this. Really appreciate ❤️

to be honest, it isn’t THAT greedy because you can/could’ve got everything that cost robux for free (except some skins I think) but compared to games to pet simulators which charge $250 for a VIRTUAL PET I think it is not p2w but just a option . in summary tds isn’t p2w compared to other games on Roblox but it it isn’t required, also all the devs need to be paid so it makes sense how some cosmetics/ merch is money.

Woah, this explains alot about tds and their updates about being delayed, at first i rhought they just didnt want to do it but this changes everything. Amazing vid man

Tbh i would give them a bit of slack back then 2020 and 2021 when it comes to low updates because they had college and also like everyone, has a life. This year is not the case.

underrated ass guy, looking forward to more content like this. +1 sub ^^

man i completly changed my view on tds thanks to you sad they wont get money just because they care about the community and I thought they were just lazy

This is why I don't make roblox games anymore as a minor myself they kinda did me child labour which is illegal. So yes roblox does exploits its developers. Thank you for talking about It I am totally subscribing rn!❤

WOW. It is actually absurd how deep this video actually goes into and I love it! Also, is your outro song “sdp interlude” from Travis Scott? 😅

after this update they will be making a lot more money, they fixed the fact that low end devices just cant play

an example of tds price rasing/inflation is with the resize character gamepass, since it used to cost 1 robux but now cost 100 robux.

tbh idrc about skins/cosmetics being robux or level towers being robux (its pve so better progression helps me if anything bc my teammates have better stuff) but event towers only coming back for robux is super dumb

I heard that back when roblox games were good,the dev exchange was much higher

out of tds for a sec, people call Flowers (owner of tsb) greedy and money hungry because he mase a new moveset that only top donaters can get and also added a emote search bar for 99 robux... but in the hunt after the strongest egg ran out, people got upset and what did Flowers do? he spent 40 million robux for a restock, what else could he have done with that? cashed it out for 150,000 us dollars

AMAZING video covering the situation!

TDS has money but the updates sometimes end up not being good, for example Halloween 2023 was good but suffered a lot of hate because in addition to many bugs and the event being terribly difficult, they had to make several correction updates, the cutscenes with no animation and they could hire an animator ''something they didn't do'' and nowadays they only do small updates and not big ones like summer events or events like that with lots of items and lots of things and towers that were shown to the public, but were never released (like the hacker, the kingpin, the juggernault, etc.) this is something I really hate on TDS (below is a good creator but sometimes ends up ruining the game a little)...

As a developper, i love this video

The amout of efforts and good content even for a joke update (Toilet update) is insane and i cant believe a lot of it is just for a particular event to never be seeing again, is just wow, just gotta say i hope they still with the good working

great video i think this is the only video i watched that explained this

one problem: theres so many kids that dont understand and ignore this video. if they ever see it. and i beleve kids alone make up more in roblox then older people

the bigger the machine is the more fuel it consumes as a huge studio they need money to pay their people

Honestly before they added the ability to restart map's i absolutly hated tds doing hardcore took like 2 hours and a half since you had to go back and wait for the elevator to get the specific map for the strategy and then someone (ussually me) would load in late and instantly lose and it was so frustrating but now that they added a ready button and restart map the game feels so much better

5:08 you just described voxlblade, reasonable cash shop, great with friends and just a good game at its core

i knew that. You cant make less money if a single side game IN A GAME (Roblox) is having player numbers around 50k players AT ONCE every minute like a whole good game from steam for example. I would say roblox is the most played game ever with great distance to minecraft or fortnite. Probably around 100 million allways every time

like it sucks that roblox doesnt does anything to those gambling lazy games and gives them the top of the discover page to make more money and that overshadows the good games like tdx and tds

Compare to bladeball,pet simulator tds absolutely flipping not greedy.they low the bobux crate cost,with quests their is a chance that you can get deluxe,phantom crate as f2p,and there are no gamebreaking p2w towers

Around 2022 TDS got me so stressed when they first released elf camp because the only people who would play the challenge with me were young kids who weren’t good at the game- so I bought it. And I’m pretty sure that was the last gamepass I ever bought.

the thing is, you also need roblox premium to SELL the ugc's.

Roblox NEEDS to take action about this bro if they don’t the future of Roblox will just look like those copy of Roblox and it will change Roblox FOREVER. So Roblox should start paying these devs like Below and his team, Below and his team are doing such great updates but the game barley updates this Video literally explained how I feel about Roblox and those cash grab gambling kids games…

Man I feel so bad for accusing the tds devs for being lazy and awful, it's all because of robux and how much money the creators of their games are making and the hardwork they put into just for us to have fun

If only Roblox gave them enough money to finish update that are delayed and i think its Roblox fault.

i like how even though tds doesnt make much money they still made it where that you can get the premium crate without spending robux

Also the actual conversion rate (Based on the $1 --> 80 R$ transaction) would be $0.012 US dollars, which is much more than the 0.0035 they give, which means roblox is taxing robux transactions as soon as you buy them! I personally play Tower Battles, but TDS isn't that bad, at the very least much better than SKIBIDI TOILET TOWER DEFENCE.

they added quests for getting phantom , deluxe and premium crates

what I learned from this: if I ever gonna make games , i should be solo dev.

absolutely cooked pursuation techniques for me to join the discord server. well done endportex

In my opinion UTD devs is trying to make the game with more graphics, but the real problem is the gambling, if you look at content creators of UTD you will that most of they videos are something like “trying to get Celestial Gil” or “Rolling until i get the new tower that is 0,0000001”, if you think, why they doesn’t change the mechanic of UTD? , the reason is gambling is addictive and there are so many TOWERS, these towers are trash and good, if they take out gambling system it would be a chaos! Why? Because most of the towers are trash, so that why gambling system is effective there, not smt like TTD, most of they towers are useful or OP, there are a little bad towers, TTD could change his mechanic but for UTD is almost impossible, why? Most part of the game is concentrated in gambling, change this mechanic could be end into a chaos, and it would take a lot of time if this ever happens, so what do you think?

amazing video man this is insane love u bro

I was jusy bout to go complain about slow updates but after this im just gonna wait it out and hope for the best

Fr.goated RU-vidr where have you been All this time

I don’t think tds is greedy, like how I see it is like, if you’re pushing the micro transactions in our face that’s greedy, But with tds they never really do that, you usually have to actively seek out the micro transactions in order to get em

Omg. Didn’t thought everything is so bad… I always called the devs lazy

Theres also some people in the community downgrading TDS over outdated TD game saying that TDS copied said game.

first of all you are underated as hell second of all facts

i mean,to be fair, the skibid tower defence that u showed the 0,01 % change was made by 2 (not so experienced) devs . sometimes they hired people to make the map .

Ttd developers get paid mostly by their channels which means if tds made one showing things like what updates and things that they were going to add they could probably add updates much quicker because they could pay their developers more .

This video doesn’t only change my opinion on tds, but also my opinion on Roblox as whole. I’ve always thought that roblox simply needs a lot of money to maintain this big ass platform, but this is way too much

80 %... 80 % is the amount of money that roblox takes away from developers. 100 dollars turns to just 20, 10 to 2, ect. Roblox is outright abusing their developers. Worse yet they use a dead coding language so that barely anything translates to other engines. i loathe this danm platform, only reason i stick around is for devs that put passion into their projects, the very same devs that roblox is trying to kill out.

Wow another company who wants to expand on their generally beloved video game but needs more funding to do so! Please take this into consideration from the developers standpoint, the financial state of development teams is scarcely revealed today as it is a touchy topic. Just trust the devs who brought you so many good things before and remember not to be too harsh on them as that is how the pvz games died (not like anyone will read this)

I can't really blame tds for being greedy in it's current state when as of right now you don't even have to grind for accel or stuff to actually win in this game now. Simple as. Also people make games has also a made a great video on how exploitative Roblox is.

My favorite game in roblox, combat warriors barely cracks 5000 players now. And I've spent a crazy amount of money on that game. And I see other players with even crazier gamepasses and stuff. And I see them all the time. So from a small game like that, I know roblox makes a good chunk of money. But they can't keep a game going that I've seen with over 60k players in it? Ridiculous

You know, seeing this video kinda gives a reason why the Halloween 2020 and Frost invasion events lasted so long because they were getting such little money, so they needed a lot of time to push out the solar eclipse event

i'd like to say 100,000 robux isn't $10,000 , its around $1,000

I don’t even care that much about the game passes. I just want them to not give u less gems in hc if u restart and make crossroads the only hc map because it’s too annoying to wait 20 minutes for crossroads with 20 other people and finally get in but someone joins just before the timer is out ruining ur run causing u to have to restart

TDS isnt that greedy. The gamepasses or for ths people that will just buy to success. But you can get to the same amount of progress in a month or two.

Roblox is never going to stop taking 70% of the income Roblox games make.

Yeah also the games where the developers just had fun making the game the gamepass is very cheap too

heck, its not just the tower defense community thats suffering with gambling, a somewhat popular game called criminality added skin crates for over half a year, with a potential for golden skins which offer a "slight" advantage, like a faster reload or more damage / explosion radius. the platform is basically fugged cus of how common gambling is in more and more games. less is done about the content of the games and more about monetisation.

i knew dev ex was terrible but a 28 times tax is absolutely insane.

They should genuinely move TDS to steam and make it so if u send a screenshot of your inventory and skins and stuff you can port it over

1:42 bro matpat merch is 100$ a piece 😭😭😭

Honesty I think you have a point and usually I don't side with roblox for making good game creators feel like trash

Think about how the first time The Goddess of Triumph Set came out on royale high (to donate to childrens hospitals, to help cure cancer ykwim) Royale high made it to 1M$ How much do you think roblox made from that?

Hey I mean at least it’s better than TTD’s crate gambling right?

The only “gambling” system in tds is crates and most of them cost coins

Right now, it's not as greedy. Since you can get deluxe crates, now. In terms of the towers that you need robux, some of then can be bought (Engi, Accel), but if we're talking about the other stuff (Gladiator, Frost Blaster, Sledger) then I can't help with that. There's also the UGC, which is... Yeah... No.

You earned a sub.

I hated the other tds games I gave them a shot and I despised their efforts to take the king of TD games on Roblox

A game i think is not really that known is Black hawk Rescue mission five its title sounds goofy but its a good game with quality updates when they happen but it fall short as it has a small community and Roblox pushes more popular games to the front page. :(

you dont have to buy the gamepasses JUST GRIND THE GAME BRO

I do know the quality of the game and the underage gambling they're just hungry for money and my brother is getting addicted to it so i made him play a game that doesn't requires underage gambling like TDS, TDX and etc.

It's so sad to see how roblox operates, i hear people say that TD games are bad just because they play the trash, gambely, and cashgraby games pushed to the front games instead of TDS. That's why i always say to play the less popular games, those are the ones with little to no pay to win or gambling, and devs who make games as a hobby and put real passion in

Simple reason you give them money by robux spending or playing = better updates and better content = win win situation

Good editing

They still have jester in the shop lmao
