Maybe slightly so. That was a contest where you got your character made if you won. That was the reward. The Roblox guys give you 500 in game currency while they make a money that can actually be spent in the real world off your creation. To me that's a slight difference.

I guess it depends on whether you like playing Roblox or not. I've never played, so I don't know what 500 game currency is or how it could be used in the game. I do play Warframe and if I was offered $500 worth of platinum (in game currency) so the DE could turn my frame into a toy, that would be awesome. I'd jump on that chance for sure. If they offered me 500 platinum ($25 USD equivalent), I'd probably still agree, but it would be way less awesome.

The other question is what else does one do with a avatar they created in a video game? If you use the game's character creator to model designs for your own self published comic book, then selling your designs is probably a bad idea. I suppose one could always reject the initial offer, and make a counter. I wonder how far that would go?
