The Roblox economy is going global, as users can now set regional pricing

Roblox has rolled out a new payment system that adjusts in-game item prices based on users' local economies, aiming to boost creator earnings and user activity worldwide. Previously, users in countries like Vietnam paid the same as those in the U.S., pricing many out due to weaker economic conditions. Now, creators can opt-in to let Roblox automatically set and update prices to reflect regional market conditions, with Nintendo's eShop serving as a similar model. Early results show this feature has already increased earnings for eligible creators by 4%, typically through lower prices selling more units. Avatar items aren't yet included in the pricing changes but will be later this year.
