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 mean, as their employer its really on you to figure out how to pay your contractors properly. You should factor in the additional 20 usd into their pay or pay them outside of DevEx But yes, the fee should be dropped

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 …

Andrew BerezaVerified account @berezaagamesReplying to @i_be_maineI see it more as a regressive tax on smaller creators. Roblox already gets the majority of gross revenue from your games. That's how they pay for servers and hosting and their hundreds of employees. This is just a draconian fee that has long outlived its purpose.1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes
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

Well he said he usually does, but, if Roblox just disabled it then it just makes life much simpler tbh.
