hoping Roblox offsets this FLOPPPPP update by giving devs the option to refund audio game passes 
but then again itâs roblox so what can we expect

Oh yeah, thatâs another issue. I sincerely hope everyone who bought radio gamepasses and boomboxes gets refunded.

clothing is gonna be hit with a update like this in the future since more and more large clothing companies are advertising on the platform
Free audios is pretty good, but the other part about audios becoming private is straight up dumb
Uploaded audios are private by default, so if the creator made them public was because they wanted them to be public, lol.
Not only that, what if these persons forgot that they uploaded the audio, or are not aware of these changes (which would be pointless since they could not do anything to make them public)?

Yeah, mightâŚ
Do you really want to take that chance? Roblox has screwed up so many things in the previous months, what reason is there for any of us believe this is going to be any different?
I donât want to be pessimistic, but I have to be realistic here.
Nothing good is going to come out of this, nothing good in the slightest.

The issue was more the fact that people were able to publicly play bypassed audios on games, that is probably what spurred this with some threat of a lawsuit or is one that is going on.
There is a way to go around this tho, I can think of one right now but as they never asked for input on how to improve this but rather just said its happening they donât really care about what we think. This is just gonna end up badly but how bad is not known.
Exactly. Roblox has only partnered with EDM labels, yet hosts virtual concerts for a-list singers. Why not work out a way for their music to be on the platform, no? They can partially solve the problem while theyâre moving towards this metaverse creation.
This is kinda confusing. If I call :Play() in a script, will it work for other players?
I honesty doubt itâs going to happen, because staff clarified about radio and boombox gamapasses, that the music should be replaced with this shitty rock-like music.

has i said countless times throughout my replies i donât think roblox had a choice . it was either be sued and making your inventors unhappy, or wiping all audio on the platform and figuring out a solution to that new problem
Iâm not gonna go to games like Audio Visualizer (beta servers) - Roblox and listen to roblox stock music. Unacceptable

Yeah, itâs really unfortunate. Millions of robux are being swept under the rug because of this.

Here is the idea that would be a possibility if they ever find this comment but also one to discuss too.
They plan on temporarily disabled the sharing feature til they find a solution to the sharing bypassed audios thing. Why not:
Use the existing filter as a preliminary screen, and then only make audios eligible to be shared if they have been screened a second time, either by a more strict algorithm or by a human being (a horrid idea I know but bear with me). That way they can better vet these things but it means that players can still upload audios they want but keep the record companies at bay as itâs harder for things to slip through the cracks.

Good point. I have many of my own games stolen on the toolbox and I just DMCA them when a new come comes up. Is it that much of a problem for a studio outside of roblox to DMCA, let alone an internal creator?
Like yeah, itâs a pain but itâs better than loosing access to all the purposefully free texture kits.

This update is just ridiculous.
Not only is it pretty much destroying audio composerâs careers, but killing all of the music-based games. Not only that, but also destroying a bunch of free-to-take models that contain audios. Horrible update.

Even now youâre being generous, quite honestly Roblox hasnât achieved much in yearsâŚ
It has all been the developers, not even Studio updates actually release within 3 months of being announced. Itâs all just a large backlog.
oh no, all of my gun sound are now gone!

the thing is, when youâre in robloxâs shoes, you arenât limited to 2 options
you have tens even hundreds of divisions to speak to
you have tons of context and resources you can give to your lawyers
you have tons of employees just sitting there with all their personal ideas
you have tons of other platforms you can take inspiration from
you have tons of other things you can do that I donât know because I am not a worker
IT IS NOT A BINARY THING
for every problem there is an elegant (or least worst) solution and this is not one of them
this benefits the company but not the users
and when a company that relies entirely on its users has its users dissatisfied
your company, DIES
