Roblox developers and contractors who use DevEx are used to the OBC requirement
When my team introduces contractors to Roblox, like sound artists & blender animators, we get the same question: "Why do I have to pay $20 a month just to get my paycheck?"
Well... why? #RobloxDev

I end up walking to CVS and getting Roblox gift cards just so they can get their paycheck. As a team lead with over 20 contractors: I don't want to fill out tax paperwork for dozens of people. I want to focus on running my team and developing my game. Devex handles that for us.
Running a team means making sure people get paid properly. If you want the convenience of using DevEx, cover their DevEx fees. And tbh, filling out tax paperwork is part of running a team at scale, every other company using contractors has to do this

The DevEx fee is unnecessary. Roblox used to lock a bunch of other crucial dev features behind a pay wall, like requiring BC to have more than 1 place and Robux for thumbnails and icons. They realized those walls caused more pain to creators than profit.https://twitter.com/berezaagames/status/1075091518396878849 …

I agree, it seems like an unnecessary tax particularly for smaller creators. But I still think as someone earning a significant amount of money from the work of your team, you should probably just pay your contractors an extra 20 USD a month though if that's what it costs them

Right, and roblox is the one tossing in the extra wrench when it could just not be a problem.

No rule says that filling out tax paperwork is part of running a team. Roblox already breaks ground with teenagers being able to set up a game that is infinitely scale-able Don't stop breaking ground, devex can handle tax headaches for sure. New game dev business model
