So, Roblox did it again. Destroyed the career of Roblox Developers. If I got a dollar for every stupid Roblox update I would be richer than Elon Musk! I will sue Roblox because it is just terrible what they do. We, Roblox devs, pay Robux to make sounds and what is Robux? A stupid currency worth IRL money. Basically, Roblox is stealing our own money. Thanks for the terrible update (once again) Roblox. I (don’t) appreciate it!!
Best wishes to everyone struggling with using audio in their game due to Roblox being stupid, Regards,

Yeah I 100% agree with you, that game is my biggest concern because I play that game a ton and also sometimes make towers on it. That game will be hit very hard and pretty much any obby game will.
Why is it you care so much about what they think instead of more important people such as the staff of roblox?
It’s not their fault this update happened, and they don’t have to care who it affects.
Reuploading sets you at risk at getting them moderated. With Roblox being very strict on copyrighted audio due to legal issues, this isn’t just a easy thing to walk away from.
Infact, that goes against what Roblox is trying to do so they dont get sued - they don’t want copyrighted audio on the platform. That is why the bot seems to be more sensitive when it comes to moderating audio in the first place!
There are lots of obby game that aren’t even monetized, theres a whole tiered obby community if you’ve heard of that and many tower games (nothing like tower of hell or something similar to that), which will be ruined by this.
But you are right. Horror games are literally done for, a horror game with no sounds is like having a computer with no monitor.
Isn’t it only audios over 6+ seconds though? So a lot of SFX audios will still be intact. Won’t this just mostly target song/music audios? A majority of which are copyrighted.
In other words, they never will decide to allow it, they’re just making it look like they’re throwing a miniature bone out to people to ease the pressure off them. Thankfully, that hasn’t worked and people are rightfully angry.
I backed up my most important sounds just to keep an archive incase some sort of miracle happens that actually incentivizes me to come back to the platform.
The fact that my own sounds won’t work on group games or my friends’ games though, is ridiculous. It turns a painful update into an excruciating one. I cannot understate how much I resent this update and the people who brought it to fruition.
I think you should read the whole post first, because you don’t seem to understand how big of an issue this is, with EVERY single audio over 6 seconds being private comes a big issue obviously, especially because most people can only upload 10 audios a month which is not enough to cover the amount of sounds that are going to be removed from their games. The fact audios are free is just a cover up to the bigger issue. Also quite a lot of SFX audios are over 6 seconds especially because a lot of them have a few seconds of silence at the end which will stretch them to over 6 seconds. And finally if a games developer is not active, they will not be able to fix the muted sounds which may ruin or make the experience of the game a lot worse for the players.
I’ve already managed to download all the sounds in one of my games that the plugin said needed replacement. It’s just that I’m scared to reupload them via this account since I’m under the impression that anything subject to moderation is like rolling the dice of death with each upload. Usually I of course use alts but since the alts are permitted 10 uploads a month I’m stuck in a rut here.
Alts Won’t be able to help anyway as they won’t be able to used in your Main Account’s games. They have to be owned by the game’s owner to be played h. This Update is an entire mess.
