4. Engagement-Based Payouts (EBP)

The Math: Revenue per DAU
The Mass-Production Money Strategy
Instead of spending 6 months on one game hoping it succeeds, smart developers in 2026 use AI mass-production:
1. Generate 10-50 games with Roblox Factory ($29/game)
2. Import each into Roblox Studio (4-8 hours each)
3. Launch all with small ad budgets ($50-$100 each)
4. Monitor metrics for 2 weeks
5. Double down on winners, abandon losers
Expected results:
- 10 games × $29 = $290 investment
- 1-2 games get traction (10-30% hit rate)
- Each winner: $500-$5,000/month
- Break even in month 1, profit from month 2
This is the same strategy mobile game companies use — except now anyone can do it with AI.
