Here it's like, $100 US for like 300-500 credits and machines are like 2-7 credits a play. They very slowly ramp up the decimal number so you don't notice the increase.

Roblox owns the rights to their character designs (the blocky guys) and templates, and they get to keep all your art assets forever, but they don't own the rights to game design and unique concepts and mechanics.

Problem with this analogy is there's no single publisher for music and movies. Ever maker creates their own releases, and no platform takes a cut from it.
