Here to leave another protest message, Roblox please don’t do this.
but well… Roblox didn’t have enough with getting the 70% of revenue from young developers, they neither bother the innocent kids that spend their parents’ money in literal smoke for a pet in Adopt Me because that’s what keeps them alive…
Also their sound library is trash don’t even use it, they don’t even have the old sounds of Roblox (2006-2010), because they are specifically user generated content so rip all of the old games… Damn I even tried to join The Normal Elevator once again to try and relieve all the nostalgia before Roblox does something, but of course they just activated a bot that deletes copyright music for once in their entire existence just for this ocassion, right
“I feel so regretful of trusting in this platform and wasting my time on learning how to develop inside it, even me as a player will affect me, will Roblox really be a dystopic inspirationless environment for anyone in the future? very probably.”
Please Please please please do not push for this change ever. This will destroy most of what roblox is today and will only leave a few select games up and working. I can understand you guys want to manage your copyrighted content better however pushing this onto us developers is a very very bad idea. Not only will you destroy countless of games, you are also putting more and more doubt on us developers on the future of roblox. I for one will not be comfortable making games on a platform THIS unstable.
If you can still break it off, I recommend going for it as fast as possible. It’s not a good decision and the fact that you guys have not been able to deduct this despite this probably going through countless of people tells me more than enough about how these decisions are made.
DONT PUSH THIS ONTO US DEVELOPERS.
Make a system that detects copyrighted content and what not. DONT go the easy route and destroy your community like this. ITS A BAD CHANGE.
You can clearly see how many people are unhappy just by the like ratio on everyone disagreeing. Please take the community into consideration for once and do the right thing. Listen to your developers, not to your shareholders who are scared of a few lawsuits. Make a system yourself.
If this update gets through it would probably mark a new record on bad mistakes from roblox.
Adding onto this, it can also be a con because it means the audio moderation team is now going to be flooded with audio to moderate. This is already a problem.
The strangest connection I’ve seen people draw between this and the stocks is how it is on an all-time low. Somehow, they miss the entire elephant in the room and fail to recognize that there are more than one deciding factor.
Now about this audio update, this is a complete flush on the audio market. It may sound bad with people familiar with the pre-existing audio. The types of game that take the most impact are rhythm games and ambient/adventure games for the primary impact. However, the secondary impacts only include games where the music is not absolutely essential, e.g. boomboxes.
Also if your audio somehow was copyright-striked, that’s not a human’s work. Check this site out for support on their product that “matches” signatures between the uploaded content and their databases. https://support.audiblemagic.com/hc/en-us/
If I am using a “sound effect” that is less than 6 seconds, audio is not free to take and is made by another user, will I lose access to these audios on March 22? I’m quite confused about the blue checkmark in the plugin as what “qualifies as a sound effect” even means.
A sound effect is apparently under 6 seconds and will not be set to private.
So anything with a blue checkmark is safe and red X means it’s getting set to private
@NervousCoolman1290 … come on, keep it real. We all know the entire tech market is getting hammered because of Russia and inflation. Every tech company chart has the same pattern. the QQQ is not down because of Roblox.
Yes, The audio needs to be uploaded by you to use it in-game. The only exception is audio clips under 6 seconds. All audio except those will be set to private and will only be usable by the uploader in their own game.
At this rate, this post will never get the change to automatically close.
@DevRelationsTeam
For the love of god and all the developers on Roblox. Find a better solution to this. This is ruining the entire feel Roblox had at the beginning. And it will keep being ruined like this.
Not only is the time span to short to upload all song people gotta upload. But people have been given random amounts of upload slots. 1 song will now have a million copies of itself within your CDN system
Wake the hell up and see what this update is doing with your community and developers. They keep the money rolling.
I agree. This update is literally driving me insane. I don’t know why they haven’t responded at all, there’s literally nearly 4k posts on this announcement
COME ON!!! I uploaded and made many of these audios myself under my own group’s game and can’t use them. This is going to completely silence a crucial part of my game. I can only upload 10 audios and these audios shouldn’t be blacklisted in the first place!! This plugin only checks if a sound is over 5.5 seconds and if it is, that sound is screwed. FIX THIS UTTER GARBAGE.
