Why do 99% of Roblox devs fail?

Most Roblox developers fail due to a combination of building for themselves instead of the market, lacking marketing/branding, underestimating the complexity (starting too big), failing to iterate on player feedback, and not understanding the platform's demand for simple, addictive experiences.

Does Roblox take 30% of Robux?

Yes, Roblox generally takes a 30% platform fee (marketplace fee) from Robux transactions, but the actual percentage creators receive varies (often 70% or less) depending on the item type (UGC, clothing, game passes, etc.) and if it's sold in-experience or on the Avatar Marketplace, with different splits for the original creator, experience owner (affiliate), and Roblox. The fee helps manage Robux inflation, but the final payout to developers (after Roblox and affiliate cuts) can be much lower, sometimes around 10-20% of the original fiat value, especially with DevEx conversions.
