    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

    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

    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.

      roblox implemented a new system, if your game doesn't make as much money, then its not on the front page, ive seen several games such as slap battles, TDS and many more who struggle to fight aggenst the games that just have a p2w option for EVERYTHING. its quite sad because most of these games, we have seen that the developers didnt want to resort to adding p2w assets but roblox messed everything up for these devs, so that they could get more money (even though they are a BILLION DOLAR COMPANY.) and the games that were already gamepass heavy, its not a huge deal for them, because they get more reognition. Its completely rigged for actual game devs who want to make there game good, and all of these copies of games and cash grabs are stealing all of the glory for themselves because roblox allows it.

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.

    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.

    • @endportex

    • @inigochicano
      @inigochicano 11 месяцев назад +9

      Watching the video and seeing how absolutely shit the robux conversion rate is, and how scummy Roblox truly operates, I don't think they are greedy at all, even with all this income they are barely getting by. Unlike other games TDS puts in quality and effort, they take time for animations, events, reworks etc. Other games in the genre are there to maximize profits, encouraging kids to gamble, and couldn't care less about the game, it's only a tool for them to make cash. But it isn't their fault either, Roblox is the real asshole here, the fact that not only do they tolerate but ENCOURAGE devs for this behavior, creating a system where the scummiest scumbags come out on top, no wonder it happens. This is all much more well explained in the video and I basically just regurgitated the info but I'm afraid not many people know about this. The system has to change, Roblox needs to change, telling people to "stop supporting these trash games" won't be enough, kids probably won't watch or understand this video and will keep draining their parents bank account which feeds the scummy devs and Roblox, a lawsuit in my eyes is the only way for things to truly change.

  • @PoweringIllegalization
    @PoweringIllegalization 11 месяцев назад +20

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    tds is a very well made game but once they started rereleasing rare skins and more updates mainly based on robux, i ended up quitting. i started playing tds in 2021 and quit at the start of 2023. at first i thought they were greedy (which in a way they kind of are) (its roblox’s fault tho definitely) and i dont wanna spend bank on the game. i find it so unfair that skins from previous updates started getting rereleased (which makes the game pointless and the only thing u can do is grind endlessly or spend money for some skins that are worth nothing.) its sad but i believe tds will eventually die due to lack of updates and the gameplay getting repetitive, unless all of a sudden roblox fixes the stupid devEx rates. also great video, very informative and the first tds video ive watched in over a year. underrated.

    • @endportex

      Thank you, I agree, but I think that what they did in the christmas update could save their game. If they stop making a whole new batch of enemies and ruse old ones, (or mostly) for events, they can be released more often and a lot sooner. That could save the game.

    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)...

  • @__supreme7

    To be honest, while i do agree that we should stop playing these cash grabby trashy games, the problem is that a lot of kids play roblox, and its really hard to convince them to not play those games when they have little to no understanding about money, what makes a game good, etc. This is a problem that unfortunately will most likely get worse and worse as time passes because more kids are starting to have ipads, iphones, and other electronic devices at younger ages, which will probably exponentially make the current problems 10x worse.

    The *ONLY* thing these cash grab td games have over TDS and that other one that’s similar (the extreme one which isn’t a cash grab), is the level select system, ASTD has one of the best one in my opinion.
    Has multiple little area things you go into, you choose the one for the type of mode you want, then clock exactly what level you. Meanwhile in TDS and the other one you have to sit around and wait for the level and mode you want to finally appear which just gets rather annoying. That’s just the only problem I got with them and what keeps me from playing them (I already quit the child gambling ones already long ago)

    Step 1: get into the game of course
    Step 2: prepare auto clicker
    Step 3: report the game and prepare to spam report
    Step 4: do your research if the game violates tos of course
    Step 5: use the auto clicker to spam report the game for that pacific violation in the tos that does not include gambling (roblox won't take it down if the report revolves gambling)
    Step 6: when the game gets taken down make sure to make fun of the kids so they stop playing the game entirely
    Step 7: enjoy the rampage that you just made. kids will be crying once they realize their "favorite" game is content deleted and soon you will be doing this in other games maybe other than cash grabs to
