That's not really true. There are a few key points you are missing. First, the game generates revenue from more than just the VIP pass; there are also other in-game purchases available, such as custom makeup, luxury dresses, and various accessories. Also roblox exchanges gives 70% to the developer after a purchase, not 30%. 30% is what is taken. Additionally, developers earn money through premium payouts, which they receive based on the time premium members spend in the game. In fact, a significant portion of the revenue likely comes from these premium payouts. I'd say the majority of their income is from that. I'm guessing you saw a reddit post saying that after all the cuts are made from the play stores and stuff like that roblox devs see ~40%. That's just raw USD revenue and doesnt apply to in-game transactions with robux.

Moreover, when calculating the actual earnings, it's important to remember that Robux earned by developers are converted at a rate of 0.0035 USD per Robux due to the Developer Exchange (DevEx) program, where 350 Robux equals 1 USD. This conversion rate means that the amount in Robux needs to be multiplied by 0.0035 to determine the actual revenue in USD. Meaning 7m Robux would be around 25k USD a month just for that ONE PASS.

I'm estimating DTI makes around 60m-100m a year. since data from last year assumes the top 10 earners on roblox make more than 30m a year. (this being the top game, it's safe to assume their developers are within that threshold)
