I, like many others, am a passionate player as well as a creator enjoying the vast virtual world of Roblox. Yet, the rising prices of user-generated content (UGC) items, particularly accessories and hairs, are hindering me and many others from enjoying our full Roblox experience.

The minimum price for these items, also known as the price floor, is set at an excessively high level. This not only discourages players like me from purchasing the items due to the exorbitant costs, it also creates a financial burden for creators wishing to advertise and create such UGC items.

This proportionately high minimum pricing impacts younger players with limited financial resources disproportionately. As of 2020, over half of the players of Roblox are under the age of 13 (source: Roblox Corporation). Therefore, we are dealing with a demographic that does not readily have access to the funds required to fully engage in the Roblox ecosystem due to these high price floors.

Within this spectrum, content creators are affected too due to the high cost of item promotion, resulting in less creativity and less content being pushed out. This has an adverse effect on the entire community and could result in a stagnant community, devoid of the robust creativity that once thrived.

It's time for the Roblox Corporation to review its price floor policy on UGC items. Lowering the price floors would make them more affordable for players and lessen the financial burden on creators, fostering a more inclusive and creative Roblox community.

We call on the management of Roblox Corporation to take action. Lower the price floors on UGC items and make Roblox an affordable and creative platform for all. Please, sign this petition to support our cause.
