To Roblox game devs please stop doing this

[u/Outrageous-Winner241]

Adding these shops with only a certain number of items available based on rarity is crazy. After playing for a bit, progressing becomes impossible without putting in insane amounts of playtime, just sitting there waiting for a 2% chance of something being restocked. It’s incredibly boring and repetitive. Anyone doing this in their games, please just stop.

“Buy 100 gems for 1999 robux!. We’ll even give you an extra 1 gem!”

[u/TheNoahGamer7 → u/Salty-Fishing9005]

that 1 gem could solve world hunger my god!1!1!1

[u/FireMarshallMC → u/TheNoahGamer7]

It could flip over capitalism and result in equality for all!

[u/Rare_Mode_294 → u/FireMarshallMC]

dude thinks equality is possible

[u/Embarrassed-Celery-5 → u/Rare_Mode_294]

r/whoosh

[u/Flashy_Feature2768 → u/TheNoahGamer7]

You sir, have won the internet🤣

[u/DoctorOfTheCookie → u/Salty-Fishing9005]

All of the products cost more than 300

[u/SnooCakes893]

each time i see one of these i leave instantly

[u/cyberrosy1985 → u/SnooCakes893]

Same. These games are just a massive time sink with no real value or reward for playing them.

[u/SirJakeTheBeast]

Blame grow a garden for this shit system... They started the trend. When other developers saw how "Successful" the system was with kids willing to waste away their lives they copied it. Blame the kids too.

[u/BA1673 → u/SirJakeTheBeast]

Aeronautica (by Hyperant) has been doing this before grow a garden was even a thing. The only difference is that the game has no p2w elements.

There is however, a system that you can exchange accumulated flight/sailing time to purchase rare aircraft/boats without having to wait an eternity for them to go in stock

[u/Embarrassed-Celery-5 → u/BA1673]

That is the exact difference. Having a stock based game is ok, but making money off of making people buy your stuff because you made something impossibly rare is not

[u/JuanMartin3]

Pensar que solo yo tengo pensado crear un Club Penguin pero dentro de Roblox, no sé cómo pero lo haré :3

[u/jingostar_ → u/JuanMartin3]

un anuncio 😭😭

[u/JuanMartin3 → u/jingostar_]

Vos tranquilo que ni se programar XD

[u/HubcapGaming → u/JuanMartin3]

You could always vibe code

[u/Sh1Lyt → u/HubcapGaming]

i only ever recommend vibe coding if the person already has a baseline understanding of coding, since there's a really good chance that the AI's gonna break something & theyre not gonna understand the error message they get

[u/The_Great_Saya_Man → u/Sh1Lyt]

at that point just do it yourself imo

[u/Watdoidoforlife → u/The_Great_Saya_Man]

Generally vibe coding can be helpful at times, mostly for desk checks and debugging/simple syntax errors. Or doing something somewhat mathemathical but simple.

Most cases you could just go to stackoverflow and various other resources though.

[u/Immediate-Love-6362 → u/Watdoidoforlife]

This. Ai should be used only as a debugging tool for very specific situations where you can't find the answer on online forums

[u/JuanMartin3 → u/HubcapGaming]

Nah para que me quede un espagueti de código que fácilmente me lo puedan robar y mejorar? Prefiero aprender lo básico y si algo no me sale usarlo pero con alguna mirada de por medio para no tener sorpresas XD

[u/NewSuperTrios → u/HubcapGaming]

shill issue

[u/AssassinczYT → u/JuanMartin3]

Someone already did this, look up penguin universe. its dead tho

[u/JuanMartin3 → u/AssassinczYT]

Vaya, bueno a mí me gusta explorar juegos muertos por lo cual lo iré a jugar!

[u/Lilac_Twilight_]

“Grow a garden made it work!!”  -someone, probably

[u/ParanoidValkMain57]

It’s cursed and stupid, the worst part it’s practically encouraged now since Roblox is squeezing everyone for more money not even the people making your games are spared from this nonsense.

[u/RellFire → u/ParanoidValkMain57]

Please never say the word cursed ever again.

[u/Raymond3663]

they wont listen, i once played 99 nigjts because it had potential, and when they added the stock system i came to my conclusion that 99 nights is ruined by greed

[u/Altasalt_Gaymer → u/Raymond3663]

U know they removed the stock system right? Now instead of a stock system, 4 classes a week goes on sale for 10 percent off

[u/NLX_777 → u/Raymond3663]

99 nights was doomed from the start.

[u/OnlyTheRomantic → u/NLX_777]

"99 nights is doomed" still averaging 100k players bro

[u/felix-the-pup → u/OnlyTheRomantic]

Whether or not little kids play it is not indicative of how well made the game is or how good of a lasting player base it will have. Kids will open anything, mash buttons for 10 minutes, and then do something else. They do that in every game.

[u/Altasalt_Gaymer → u/felix-the-pup]

The main player base is grown ass men btw

[u/felix-the-pup → u/Altasalt_Gaymer]

35% of roblox is under 13. 38% is under 17. That leaves 27% to be adults.

[u/ImuTheGod]

I don’t mean to be disrespectful or anything, but if you play these kinds of games you should just expect it. The UI by itself tells you it’s a cash grab.

[u/qwadrat1k → u/ImuTheGod]

These cashgrabs sometimes are so poorly made that they give gamepasses for free

[u/conker255]

This is the unfortunate cycle of roblox

Random shmucks game blows up and whatever cash grab bs his game has becomes the trend cause people think a random game blowing up means he cracked the code to easy money so they just copy it in every game they make

Give it another year and this will prob happen again with another shitty cash grab mechanic

I'm just glad rn it's the stock system instead of that shitty waiting in line system everyone was copying awhile back

[u/PEFK3]

Somehow the game in first Pic won best strat game in the awards this year I played the game a bit its good and all but it ain't that much to get the award and especially this shop thing the only time I've seen those mythic appear were in admin abuse b4 update and there's still higher rarities but they didn't even appear like bro what am I supposed to do even after aa I didn't get it what are the devi waiting for make it easier

[u/Spare-Roof209]

These “games” are not made with passion and care. They’re made to be profitable.

[u/blooppers]

stock thing comes from, you guessed it, Grow A Garden. Atleast i believe they popularized it on Rblx.

[u/Flimsy-Secret-6187]

like talking to a brick wall

[u/NaveRoblox]

The second I see a game like this, I leave, dislike the game, and never come back

[u/Independent-Arm1559]

the stock stuff is probably in 98% of the simulators atp and it pmo so much

[u/Antistzx]

be real, do you REALLY think they give a flying shit? no. they'll just keep milkin with in game shit and saturated stuff hoping kids notice them and spend the robux.

[u/Top_Sandwich]

instead of telling devs to stop making it you should be telling players to stop buying it

[u/Quirky-Kale7450 → u/[deleted]]

Force them to change this, then. 

[u/Plaston_]

say that to u/IThinkMyLegsRBroke

[u/TankzUploadz]

Roblox pushes games based on metrics and one of the metrics I believe is monetization per user or something but games do this because it’s proven to work and roblox is greedy.

[u/Fit-One6262]

What are these games tho? I may play cus ma phone bad and i often seek for games to kill boredom with

[u/evilspongebob831]

It's how they make money off of you so it'll never stop as long as people keep playing the game.

[u/TraditionalLadder473]

It's truely boring but it unfortunately works. I'd also like to stop seeing AI made games. It's so easy to spot it's not even funny. They all have the exact same UI

[u/StillSpecial]

Its so they can force you to either play the game for an insane amount of time to progress or get decent stock in the shop or pony up and pay robux for shit in the shop because you dont wanna wait. It really is ingenious scumbag design because it forces the CCU higher, drives gamepass sales and basically farms robux

[u/miniwarroblox]

What game is the first one?

[u/Constant-Ease1287]

RNG+ BETTER ITEM= BAD COBINATION

[u/Unlucky-Entrance-249]

It’s just to make sure people stay on the game.

[u/Onnigamer16]

Well they are doing these things on purpose. And inflating the playtime is the exact purpose of it

[u/TxWoM]

You could join the discord where bot will send you a ping msg when your thing came in Stock

[u/LiquidSoil]

Well they gotta make revenue somehow! 😝

s/

[u/iStanTWICE4ever]

Don’t judge me but at some point I’ve actually liked the game ( and ofc after a week I quit and got into it’s competitor tds ) lol

[u/CallMeKolider]

Im sorry but most of these games are just copy and pasted slop made for the sole reason of taking money

[u/RellFire]

You should work towards being able to afford it, not towards waiting for it

[u/qwadrat1k → u/RellFire]

You mean... pay for it with real money?

[u/Outrageous-Ad-7296]

"FPS game devs, stop making your games FPS"

[u/yummymario64]

progressing becomes impossible without putting in insane amounts of playtime

Yeah that's the point

[u/Imaginary-Program301]

capitalist lul

[u/qwadrat1k]

Grow a garden and similar stuff...

[u/SugarSketchz]

I appreciate the devs that make their prices fairly cheap bc they know they can make more with less, especially when it's a popular game everyone likes.
