Roblox will not change this but we can LETS TAKE DOWN TOILET TOWER DEFENSE FOR GOOD WE WILL NOT LET THESE GABLING SKIBIDI TOILET GAMES FOOL PEOPLE ANYMORE LETS WORK TOGETHER!!!!!
Lethal company was made by a former Roblox developer, probably because he had enough of being under-paid by Roblox, that is probably why he moved to Steam to make his own game.
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
Also, PTW is very looked down upon by the community, mostly because it takes hours or even days to do it the legit way, and it should be that way, because it gives you opportunities to learn how to get better.
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
Then kids begin to think that’s normal, which effects their future because the human mind being developed as a child is a sponge, so anything it learns is how it wants to operate later down the line.
@@endportexsomething that makes me sick is the fact a low quality toilet game taking over someone’s food on the table, it’s completely unfair and inhumane to just take over clueless children of a head in a toilet. Me personally never likes the toilet series or in general cause it’s weird.
to be slightly fair to them.. atleast on tds... they dont utelise some of the nastier tricks of loot boxes like using the roulette wheel to show you just narrowly getting somthing good even though that verry well could just not be true.
gotta agree with end and vinix the devs arent greedy they just have a lot of team members and like end said they really put time into their game to make the graphics good and people still like those stupid dumb garbage toilet tower defense games like most of the assets are just free models like the grass and heads where tds isnt turning their game into a cash grab game but making the community happy and being good non-greedy devs
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.
@@morecaffine7197ah yes, slap battles, the game where the chance of finding someone who is helpful is same of winning a lottery, you depend on other people's goodness to get gloves and you need to stay 10hrs still to get some gloves, amazing
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.
UGC limiteds are way more expensive to make than normal UGC since you have to pay for each copy of the item, a 10k stock item for example would be 150k robux or more depending if its a hat, face, or back accessory, apart from that, great video
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.
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.
@@NoobLolTheUnskilledthey make it so you have to buy cowboy like warden, but i think they still havent fixed cowboy being claimed through gift box instead of paying
I always hated roblox for theese. They don't even realize they are hurting their income. I'm gonna tell you one thing about Lethal Company's Developer. He was a ROBLOX DEVELOPER. 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. DevEx has shitty exchange (Roblox takes like %85 the Money). I can't imagine a PRIVATE Company that couldn't care less about Money turned into this Money Hungry Monstrosity...
ROBLOX takes 60%.. *60 FUCKING PERCENT* (to be more precise its 56.25%) from the people who actually make the content for Roblox. At this point ROBLOX is technically stealing from creators. imo ROBLOX devs should earn double of what they currently get
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. TL/DR tds devs get too much hate when they’re trying their hardest
If I'm not mistaken, the Krampus event was also made in a very short period of time, but this time it didn't come with so many bugs, and most people liked the event because it innovated with that mechanic of skipping bosses and using that map transition in a much cleaner and smoother way, in addition to the Christmas missions and the battle pass, you can see the effort they were putting in to compensate for the previous event
@@nachosrune3919yes, Xmas2023 was made in 2 weeks, but it reuses enemies from past xmas events which saved a lot of time, and because it saved a lot of time testers had more time to test the event and find most of the bugs
Its just now that i realised how bad i am to the tds devs and as a community. Thanks for telling me about this information and i feel like i will start playing tds more often.
Tbh i would give them a bit of slack back then 2020 and 2021 when it comes to low updates because they had college and also like everyone, has a life. This year is not the case.
yeah devs are doing really well on tds because they got a lot of devs that they hired to update and are now cooking updates and pushing them out weekly
The difference is. TDS can unlock the towers with money, and you can get money very easily. but most of the others aren't, for example TTD it needs you to gamble to have a chance to get the BEST tower
The point of a tower defense game is to grind for the best towers, not to gamble and get the "best tower", and is it rlly a tower defense game if you get duplicate towers?
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.
That’s why I wouldn’t be claiming their greedy if they weren’t on Roblox, they would has less monetization. But it’s fine as long as the game doesn’t have 500 pop ups and doesn’t require pay 2 win.
@@endportex it doesn’t really REQUIRE p2w as most things that cost robux also btw there is like barely any pop ups unlike some obbies, because they charge robux to skip the entire obby, also funnily enough I think tdx is more p2w because you have to grind more in the early-mid game.
I'm largely removed from the big roblox game community [Only gamepass I got ever was from Survive The Killer] and holy crap I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole went. Incredibly infortmative video. Liked and subbed.
This is why I don't make roblox games anymore as a minor myself they kinda did me child labour which is illegal. So yes roblox does exploits its developers. Thank you for talking about It I am totally subscribing rn!❤
one problem: theres so many kids that dont understand and ignore this video. if they ever see it. and i beleve kids alone make up more in roblox then older people
man i completly changed my view on tds thanks to you sad they wont get money just because they care about the community and I thought they were just lazy
This video doesn’t only change my opinion on tds, but also my opinion on Roblox as whole. I’ve always thought that roblox simply needs a lot of money to maintain this big ass platform, but this is way too much
@@tata1e2e3 its terrible code but they have some of the best servers, but due to the code it runs... not that good some times, though it was only recently that roblox broke it's streak of almost 100 days with no crashes, but yeah, roblox is taking WAYYYY too much money, especially for the amount of work the mods put in.
Man I feel so bad for accusing the tds devs for being lazy and awful, it's all because of robux and how much money the creators of their games are making and the hardwork they put into just for us to have fun
like it sucks that roblox doesnt does anything to those gambling lazy games and gives them the top of the discover page to make more money and that overshadows the good games like tdx and tds
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.
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.
Woah, this explains alot about tds and their updates about being delayed, at first i rhought they just didnt want to do it but this changes everything. Amazing vid man
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! I personally play Tower Battles, but TDS isn't that bad, at the very least much better than SKIBIDI TOILET TOWER DEFENCE.
Good video, Roblox needs to bring justice to better games like TDS, over TTD, like HOW DOES ROBLOX SUPPORT GAMES LIKE TTD, they literally have gamepass crates that can be used to get a unit, gambling for kids, developers of those games seem like they care about their fans, but they don't they only focus on me, I used to think of TDS in that way, but thank you for getting the word out. Great video, keep it up.
I don’t think tds is greedy, like how I see it is like, if you’re pushing the micro transactions in our face that’s greedy, But with tds they never really do that, you usually have to actively seek out the micro transactions in order to get em
what he meant by greedy is that there are alot of expensive/overpriced gamepasses/merch. however they aren't really greedy they gotta feed their employees
out of tds for a sec, people call Flowers (owner of tsb) greedy and money hungry because he mase a new moveset that only top donaters can get and also added a emote search bar for 99 robux... but in the hunt after the strongest egg ran out, people got upset and what did Flowers do? he spent 40 million robux for a restock, what else could he have done with that? cashed it out for 150,000 us dollars
tbh idrc about skins/cosmetics being robux or level towers being robux (its pve so better progression helps me if anything bc my teammates have better stuff) but event towers only coming back for robux is super dumb
Wow another company who wants to expand on their generally beloved video game but needs more funding to do so! Please take this into consideration from the developers standpoint, the financial state of development teams is scarcely revealed today as it is a touchy topic. Just trust the devs who brought you so many good things before and remember not to be too harsh on them as that is how the pvz games died (not like anyone will read this)
they're adding some gambling features, light so not very devastating but between the already existsing crates and the soon to come wheel i hope they stop at that and don't add more gambling like features.
TDS isnt that greedy. The gamepasses or for ths people that will just buy to success. But you can get to the same amount of progress in a month or two.
Around 2022 TDS got me so stressed when they first released elf camp because the only people who would play the challenge with me were young kids who weren’t good at the game- so I bought it. And I’m pretty sure that was the last gamepass I ever bought.
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)
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.
As a developer for FNaF: TD I completely agree we got blown out of the water from FN TD while their game is just a shit gamble game. The game i work on looks so much better but updates take a while because we actually take pride in our quality of the game. Fnaf TD averages like 250-500 players while FN TD has exploded to average like over 10k players
Ttd developers get paid mostly by their channels which means if tds made one showing things like what updates and things that they were going to add they could probably add updates much quicker because they could pay their developers more .
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)...
The amout of efforts and good content even for a joke update (Toilet update) is insane and i cant believe a lot of it is just for a particular event to never be seeing again, is just wow, just gotta say i hope they still with the good working
i mean,to be fair, the skibid tower defence that u showed the 0,01 % change was made by 2 (not so experienced) devs . sometimes they hired people to make the map .
I'm a solo dev that knows a bit of everything and I can assure you, if you spend even 1 hour on every unit or enemy you can make it way better than what they have
Right now, it's not as greedy. Since you can get deluxe crates, now. In terms of the towers that you need robux, some of then can be bought (Engi, Accel), but if we're talking about the other stuff (Gladiator, Frost Blaster, Sledger) then I can't help with that. There's also the UGC, which is... Yeah... No.
Compare to bladeball,pet simulator tds absolutely flipping not greedy.they low the bobux crate cost,with quests their is a chance that you can get deluxe,phantom crate as f2p,and there are no gamebreaking p2w towers
TDS is a good game but because of most of gampasses are gettable with grinding but event towers sould come back grindable like necromaccer which is buyable with gems
Honestly before they added the ability to restart map's i absolutly hated tds doing hardcore took like 2 hours and a half since you had to go back and wait for the elevator to get the specific map for the strategy and then someone (ussually me) would load in late and instantly lose and it was so frustrating but now that they added a ready button and restart map the game feels so much better
Roblox NEEDS to take action about this bro if they don’t the future of Roblox will just look like those copy of Roblox and it will change Roblox FOREVER. So Roblox should start paying these devs like Below and his team, Below and his team are doing such great updates but the game barley updates this Video literally explained how I feel about Roblox and those cash grab gambling kids games…
Think about how the first time The Goddess of Triumph Set came out on royale high (to donate to childrens hospitals, to help cure cancer ykwim) Royale high made it to 1M$ How much do you think roblox made from that?
Do you think Roblox will ever change to help quality games?

I ain’t done 🔥
Its just now that i realised how bad i am to the tds devs and as a community. Thanks for telling me about this information and i feel like i will start playing tds more often.
Tbh i would give them a bit of slack back then 2020 and 2021 when it comes to low updates
because they had college and also like everyone, has a life.
This year is not the case.
Yeah we can excuse those years, 2023 was reworks I believe in preparation for this years updates.
yeah devs are doing really well on tds because they got a lot of devs that they hired to update and are now cooking updates and pushing them out weekly
W video, underrated channel, I’m subbing!
Appreciate it! 🙏
poor tds its the only game that made me start playing td games thank you for telling us whats the resson that tds is delaying it
I personallu got in by Tower Battled
I love people who take risks on their channel to expose this.
Really appreciate ❤️
The difference is. TDS can unlock the towers with money, and you can get money very easily. but most of the others aren't, for example TTD it needs you to gamble to have a chance to get the BEST tower
True another reason why i quit
The point of a tower defense game is to grind for the best towers, not to gamble and get the "best tower", and is it rlly a tower defense game if you get duplicate towers?
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.
That’s why I wouldn’t be claiming their greedy if they weren’t on Roblox, they would has less monetization. But it’s fine as long as the game doesn’t have 500 pop ups and doesn’t require pay 2 win.
@@endportex it doesn’t really REQUIRE p2w as most things that cost robux also btw there is like barely any pop ups unlike some obbies, because they charge robux to skip the entire obby, also funnily enough I think tdx is more p2w because you have to grind more in the early-mid game.
man ur so underatted, really hope this gets tons of views, because it already looks like it is
I'm largely removed from the big roblox game community [Only gamepass I got ever was from Survive The Killer] and holy crap I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole went. Incredibly infortmative video. Liked and subbed.
WOW. It is actually absurd how deep this video actually goes into and I love it! Also, is your outro song “sdp interlude” from Travis Scott? 😅
yoo
im a fan
Yes, it’s a remix so there’s no copyright 😂
I heard that back when roblox games were good,the dev exchange was much higher
the bigger the machine is the more fuel it consumes
as a huge studio they need money to pay their people
what I learned from this: if I ever gonna make games , i should be solo dev.
they added quests for getting phantom , deluxe and premium crates
Yes, but that requires tons of grinding for a skin
@@endportexbro the quests are so easy wdym 💀
@@endportex all phantom and deluxe crates quest are "deal 4million dmg" which is just solo fallen 4 times, its not really hard
This is why I don't make roblox games anymore as a minor myself they kinda did me child labour which is illegal. So yes roblox does exploits its developers.
Thank you for talking about It I am totally subscribing rn!❤
AMAZING video covering the situation!
We just need more noise about it.
I've just consumed knowledge I didn't even know I could comprehend. Keep up the good content bro
one problem: theres so many kids that dont understand and ignore this video. if they ever see it. and i beleve kids alone make up more in roblox then older people
Yeah it’s really up to the devs to avoid gambling
or to the parents@@endportex
man i completly changed my view on tds thanks to you sad they wont get money just because they care about the community and I thought they were just lazy
This video doesn’t only change my opinion on tds, but also my opinion on Roblox as whole. I’ve always thought that roblox simply needs a lot of money to maintain this big ass platform, but this is way too much
Their servers are so bad you would think they are struggling
roblox has loads of money yet trash servers. LIke wtf
@@tata1e2e3 its terrible code but they have some of the best servers, but due to the code it runs... not that good some times, though it was only recently that roblox broke it's streak of almost 100 days with no crashes, but yeah, roblox is taking WAYYYY too much money, especially for the amount of work the mods put in.
Man I feel so bad for accusing the tds devs for being lazy and awful, it's all because of robux and how much money the creators of their games are making and the hardwork they put into just for us to have fun
like it sucks that roblox doesnt does anything to those gambling lazy games and gives them the top of the discover page to make more money and that overshadows the good games like tdx and tds
yep its all about the money but sometimes I wonder whats the point of having more money than you will ever need
underrated ass guy, looking forward to more content like this. +1 sub ^^
Thank you so much!
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.
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.
Woah, this explains alot about tds and their updates about being delayed, at first i rhought they just didnt want to do it but this changes everything. Amazing vid man
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!
I personally play Tower Battles, but TDS isn't that bad, at the very least much better than SKIBIDI TOILET TOWER DEFENCE.
Dude, skibiti tower defense ON TOP (it’s Opposite Day)
Good video, Roblox needs to bring justice to better games like TDS, over TTD, like HOW DOES ROBLOX SUPPORT GAMES LIKE TTD, they literally have gamepass crates that can be used to get a unit, gambling for kids, developers of those games seem like they care about their fans, but they don't they only focus on me, I used to think of TDS in that way, but thank you for getting the word out. Great video, keep it up.
I don’t think tds is greedy, like how I see it is like, if you’re pushing the micro transactions in our face that’s greedy,
But with tds they never really do that, you usually have to actively seek out the micro transactions in order to get em
what he meant by greedy is that there are alot of expensive/overpriced gamepasses/merch. however they aren't really greedy they gotta feed their employees
On the surface they seem greedy, but there are certainly more greedy games, TDS just needs to make sustainable income for their devs.
@@yesblao7305 I get it I was just stating that even if I didn’t see this video or knew about the Roblox market I still wouldn’t call them greedy
@@endportex and I’m happy they’ve been able to do that
Tdx's warship needs more time to grind than engineer and accelerator.
That's insane
For real
Or u can buy it for 4590 robux which is cheap
@@KyloRen-1if 4k robux is cheap then I am Jeff bezos
That was sarcasm.
the thing is, you also need roblox premium to SELL the ugc's.
i'd like to say 100,000 robux isn't $10,000 , its around $1,000
Yeah my math was off, thx for pointing it out.
@@endportex Np glad to help
I always knew 1m robux was about 10k dollars so this made me think inflation happened or something 😂
Actually, 100k robux is 400-600 dollars
out of tds for a sec, people call Flowers (owner of tsb) greedy and money hungry because he mase a new moveset that only top donaters can get and also added a emote search bar for 99 robux... but in the hunt after the strongest egg ran out, people got upset and what did Flowers do? he spent 40 million robux for a restock, what else could he have done with that? cashed it out for 150,000 us dollars
As a developper, i love this video
tbh idrc about skins/cosmetics being robux or level towers being robux (its pve so better progression helps me if anything bc my teammates have better stuff) but event towers only coming back for robux is super dumb
Yeah it's annoying but those gamepasses make a ton.
Wow another company who wants to expand on their generally beloved video game but needs more funding to do so! Please take this into consideration from the developers standpoint, the financial state of development teams is scarcely revealed today as it is a touchy topic. Just trust the devs who brought you so many good things before and remember not to be too harsh on them as that is how the pvz games died (not like anyone will read this)
man now that roblox has changed Im very regretful I quit some games now I can’t find a good game :( fractions when?…
you dont have to buy the gamepasses JUST GRIND THE GAME BRO
I don't got time 💀
they're adding some gambling features, light so not very devastating but between the already existsing crates and the soon to come wheel i hope they stop at that and don't add more gambling like features.
TDS isnt that greedy. The gamepasses or for ths people that will just buy to success. But you can get to the same amount of progress in a month or two.
Around 2022 TDS got me so stressed when they first released elf camp because the only people who would play the challenge with me were young kids who weren’t good at the game- so I bought it. And I’m pretty sure that was the last gamepass I ever bought.
same...... even if its a month late.
Bro supprised over Roblox devs being greedy
Just wish they weren't 🤷♂ but they have to be
an example of tds price rasing/inflation is with the resize character gamepass, since it used to cost 1 robux but now cost 100 robux.
At least It's better then the gambling tower defense games
after this update they will be making a lot more money, they fixed the fact that low end devices just cant play
You earned a sub.
Thank you 🙏
5:08 you just described voxlblade, reasonable cash shop, great with friends and just a good game at its core

Tds and tdx are what Roblox tower defense games should be
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)
i like how even though tds doesnt make much money they still made it where that you can get the premium crate without spending robux
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.
That’s the hard truth
Honesty I think you have a point and usually I don't side with roblox for making good game creators feel like trash
incorrect, 100,000 robux is worth 1,000 USD, not 10,000. roblox does not take 97% of your profits
96.5%*
amazing video man this is insane love u bro
🤨📸, thx for the compliment 😂
Dam i should thank below and its team ❤
As a developer for FNaF: TD I completely agree we got blown out of the water from FN TD while their game is just a shit gamble game. The game i work on looks so much better but updates take a while because we actually take pride in our quality of the game. Fnaf TD averages like 250-500 players while FN TD has exploded to average like over 10k players
i am not trying to hate, but i am pretty sure that fnaf td has a gambling system
lemme shorten this to about 10 seconds, Devs need to eat!
A little more context is required 😂
Back then tds was a game for the community, and now it feels like a game for the company
17 hours gang
with how
for me it says 37 mins ago
Me me me me
16 years gang 👇
Oh hell
great video i think this is the only video i watched that explained this
This is true
Ttd developers get paid mostly by their channels which means if tds made one showing things like what updates and things that they were going to add they could probably add updates much quicker because they could pay their developers more .
They did.
Fr.goated UA-camr where have you been All this time
Cooking 🗿
Finally, A Another Person Who Knows The Truth And Wants To Talk About It.
Theres also some people in the community downgrading TDS over outdated TD game saying that TDS copied said 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)...
The amout of efforts and good content even for a joke update (Toilet update) is insane and i cant believe a lot of it is just for a particular event to never be seeing again, is just wow, just gotta say i hope they still with the good working
Omg. Didn’t thought everything is so bad… I always called the devs lazy
i mean,to be fair, the skibid tower defence that u showed the 0,01 % change was made by 2 (not so experienced) devs . sometimes they hired people to make the map .
Still, I feel like updates should be dedicated to quality and not crappy events that rake in more players to gamble.
I'm a solo dev that knows a bit of everything and I can assure you, if you spend even 1 hour on every unit or enemy you can make it way better than what they have
at least when i watched the video and said about it,i did not know that they updated the game, now with a unit that cost 699 robux i thing @@endportex
toilet tower defense on bottom🔥🔥🔥🔥
Right now, it's not as greedy. Since you can get deluxe crates, now. In terms of the towers that you need robux, some of then can be bought (Engi, Accel), but if we're talking about the other stuff (Gladiator, Frost Blaster, Sledger) then I can't help with that.
There's also the UGC, which is... Yeah... No.
3:34 "100k Robux is equal to 10k $"
*proceeds to show a screenshot of the real robux conversation rate of 100k robux 1k $*
Compare to bladeball,pet simulator tds absolutely flipping not greedy.they low the bobux crate cost,with quests their is a chance that you can get deluxe,phantom crate as f2p,and there are no gamebreaking p2w towers
i hate it when games makes money!
Belownatural:I like Money
SAME, that means I have less
hi photon
I was jusy bout to go complain about slow updates but after this im just gonna wait it out and hope for the best
TDS is a good game but because of most of gampasses are gettable with grinding but event towers sould come back grindable like necromaccer which is buyable with gems
Yeah also the games where the developers just had fun making the game the gamepass is very cheap too
Honestly before they added the ability to restart map's i absolutly hated tds doing hardcore took like 2 hours and a half since you had to go back and wait for the elevator to get the specific map for the strategy and then someone (ussually me) would load in late and instantly lose and it was so frustrating but now that they added a ready button and restart map the game feels so much better
Roblox NEEDS to take action about this bro if they don’t the future of Roblox will just look like those copy of Roblox and it will change Roblox FOREVER. So Roblox should start paying these devs like Below and his team, Below and his team are doing such great updates but the game barley updates this Video literally explained how I feel about Roblox and those cash grab gambling kids games…
Think about how the first time The Goddess of Triumph Set came out on royale high (to donate to childrens hospitals, to help cure cancer ykwim)
Royale high made it to 1M$
How much do you think roblox made from that?
Was it in robux?
