Some of us don’t use shared hosting…Dedicated servers are expensive to run.
High specification units with suitable DDoS protection, half decent security features and quality up/down lines are expensive.

I sense a great amount of greed from those that aren’t happy with this. You complain about a 60% profit margin ?!?!?! Have you guys ever worked a day in your life in a real job?! Have you ever asked yourself what the profit margins are of products you use daily?! It sure as hell is not 60%. My god, the greed is disgusting.
Be grateful you get this opportunity. Be grateful that this opens up opportunities to take some pressure from the required funds for FiveM to operate. This opens up so many possibilities like the so much wanted “unlimited” slots for everyone without a Patreon pledge.
Good luck to you guys, I sure as hell will be enjoying Tebex whether I am a community moderator or not doesn’t matter. I have no stake in any of the commission. We are a community and we help each other.

They take in a nice pile of money on Patreon, and then pay the infrastructure bills with the vast majority of it.

A great opportunity to make profit…
I don’t understand those people who complain about the 15% commission, making profit out of the game was literally not allowed and when it finally becomes allowed you complain about the commission? Just be grateful with what you have already. Running FiveM is not free and as deterministic_bubble said, having this commerce project can open new opportunities in the future like making Patreon tiers cheaper or even free?
I just registered with tebex.io and setting things up!

I bet all of these people that complain, have never even touched the source code or contributed to FiveM in that sense? How about go ahead and try it out? See how easy it is to accomplish something, then you can come and try to complain. Of course CFX will want to make some money off of this, but look at the content you are getting. Also who do you people think you are? You think you can grab something, that people have put their time and effort into and not give back anything? If not for CFX you would not be hosting a GTA V server, so be thankful for the effort and 15% is not much to give them back. If you don’t like it, I say go play on GTA:Online and have fun there.

Reading this thread gave me huge disbelief for the 5M community, full of greedy little snakes. Just wanting to take take take and give nothing back in return, I’m ashamed to read half of the replies in here and I’m glad the people defending this are standing up well and truly.
All the dip shits selling resources/assets and so on are the worst type of people, regardless of their moral ground, why? Because they don’t give back to the community or to the FiveM community itself, if selling a script is you “giving back” then fuck, I’d HATE to need an organ donor and you was picked cause fucking ayy, you’d be wanting it back the very next day.
Personally, I’d be happy with FiveM taking a cut from this, because it’s just going to better the platform, the updates and so much more, I just hope people stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about the future of the community, don’t shit where you eat folks.

You can make that the servers that have a store with more than 500€ monthly revenue don’t pay the patreon license.

You guys need to realize that the FiveM developers are using their time to code this platform for us to use, and time is money. It’s a fact that money talks, and if they can bring in more revenue for this, that means they can spend more time on this project, worrying less about bills, etcetera. I don’t think anyone wants to spend time coding a project to this extent for some greedy little esx server to make more money than the actual platform does.
On a different subject, when FiveM does bring more revenue in, don’t completely remove your Patreon packages, a price drop would be alright or discount for long-term Patreon’s if that’s alright. I’d love to see more professionally tested and thought out updates, now I don’t know exactly what process CFX goes through before pushing an update, I assume you always test it ofcourse, but there has been an update recently that has for example affected a lot of NUI, nobody could provide a repro so everyones hands were tied. Perhaps a little clean-up on the forums and the Discord server, keep one category entirely for update logs, write them out thoroughly, don’t force people to read the Github notes or commit changes, it’s confusing and difficult for people that are still learning. I remember when I was coding a lot in Garry’s Mod a couple of years ago they used to provide a lot of information on what was changed and what could be affected, with code examples etcetera. You can see an example of their changelog here. Other than this I love what you guys are providing for us, I know you guys put a lot of effort into everything you do for us.

I will allow your small mind to let you believe you know what you’re talking about. You have no idea what services we are running from our units.

Hi! Is there any way that we would be able to use the cfx.re OAuth for our own Forums? There’s this thing https://docs.tebex.io/store/preventing-fraud/player-verification but the only possible identifier we could use to match players is the IP Address, but as we know that can be shared sometimes. It would be ideal that we could use the cfx.re OAuth (https://idms.fivem.net/) so that people can connect cfx.re accounts with their existing external community forums accounts.

I like Tebex, I actually use it myself for my server already but it really is a shame that you need to buy an SSL from Tebex even though I get one for free on my Hosting plan

welp now servers owners are going to milk the shit out of their player base and everything is going to switch to a scheme of ‘who milks the least hard’ as to go-to server.

I feel like this is only going to lead to further segregation and separation of the player base in a pretty short time. We’ve already seen it with the hundreds of Patreon servers where other servers one ups competition, or charges less and the player base shifts to the more affordable server, or they split and make their own server.
Those that say the percentage is high isn’t entirely wrong looking at the competition and other options out there and then Tebex formally known as buycraft which is an absolute awful company. Granted we do get a lot of benefits, but we also get a lot of headaches with FiveM. Some of which are totally unavoidable looking over the code but then there’s other areas that are very avoidable. I would have instead of seeing a partnership, liked to have seen FiveM doing a more in-house method to implementing this style system.
About the only thing to come of this, if it happens, will be more focus on bettering the client and resolving the god awful resource consumption with the client. Should be an interesting couple of months for sure.

Well since you have such strong opinions on how the code words and stuff, why don’t you contribute? The project is open source after all. Unless you’re just another person spewing shit.

Welcome to market competition. I don’t think this is bad at all and already happens as you’ve outlined!
Like which other options? I’ve not seen another service that offers a customizable webstore and such.
Like what?
Now this is something that of course everyone wants, including FiveM I bet. But it’s simply not feasible. The amount of work that would have to go into it including maintaining such a service, not to mention the vast amount of bureacracy surrounding payment systems, it’s completely out of scope. There’s a reason why 3rd party payment/monetization platforms exist like Patreon, PayPal, Stripe, Tebex and more!
That’s because of user error and not any FiveM “bad code”. Unless you can give a detailed example of too much overhead with a technical explanation of how it can be improved, I don’t think this point is valid.
Overall I think you have some good thoughts, but your points lack arguments and examples. I’d love to see some them.
