Gaming Platform Roblox Introduces New Category of Digital Items

• It is issued and traded like a normal NFT and even has the same appearance. 
• Roblox-issued virtual assets can be used when actually participating in a Roblox game.

According to a recent statement, Roblox, one of the most popular online gaming platforms, has released a new category of wearable virtual items that may be sold in limited numbers by independent developers. It is issued and traded like a normal NFT and even has the same appearance. 

Roblox players are free to choose their own prices for the Limiteds they purchase, with the designer receiving 10% of the proceeds.

Moreover, it sounds suspiciously similar to how NFTs operate. These limited-edition digital assets could transfer hands in the future while still providing financial support to their creators. Even if royalty enforcement has weakened over the last several months, such is the promise of NFTs.

Confined Within Roblox

Roblox Limiteds are fundamentally different from NFTs, and not only because Web3 isn’t involved; they also can’t leave Roblox, and this is a very big deal.

One will not find any Roblox Limiteds on the blockchain. Instead, they are subject to the same rules of life and death as everything else in Roblox’s huge gaming ecosystem. Users may only use Roblox-issued virtual assets when actually participating in a Roblox game.

Roblox is asking creators to invest some of their own skin in the game when releasing a limited item or collection to prevent the risk of producers exploiting the new Limiteds category to flood the marketplace with an infinite number of products to reap rapid returns.

A one-time payment to Roblox will be required of creators, with the exact amount depending on the nature of the object being sold and the quantity being distributed. This pre-sale deposit will be reimbursed to the artist after their work has been purchased.
