hey roblox are you guys sure youre not gonna break a lot of old games?? This is definitely gonna be destructive change!! Hoping that you would change your mind to solve the copyright legal stuff other way
I dont think they would be checking each audio individually lol. Its probably automated by a Bot lol.
Some of the audio are free sound effects, meaning they are meant to be used for free. Since most games out there use free audio most games on Roblox will break and sounds will not play in the game. That is where most Roblox devs are frustrated because they have to go look for new sounds and see if Roblox allows it.
It would be a great if they kept the limit for audios that can be uploaded for free, but they should also allow people to pay to upload more audios. While devs from the U.S. can usually get an ID with no issues, people from other countries may be unable to verify to upload 100 a month.

Important:
#ÂŁ$1Million-kr,R$ is not even an enough refunding amount if you do this update. Sometimes it is good to take advice from young adults or kids, business is tough man but please understand that there are other ways to work around this. It isnât too late to change is it? Hundreds of people are taking their own time to write these messages, people make mistakes man but come on! This is the best way to deal with this situation? Whatever bro you aint even gonna read this
Audio is important in games, so E!
The only thing your going to fix is hackers⊠even they gonna hate you for this! Crazy innit.

WhatâŠ
of course there arenât 90 billion audios, the asset ID is only at 9 billion and that includes most assets (shirts, pants, T-shirts, decals, images, models, meshes, audios, games)
Not agreeing with the person youâre replying to but itâs much smaller than 90 billion.

Thinking over this for the past few days has left me feeling more and more bitter and upset over this whole thing.
It is such a cliche Roblox thing to do to take the easy way out, even if that involves selling out every developer in order to do so. Roblox is willing to destroy countless games and waste the time of thousands of developers by forcing them to reupload audios - and, in the case of them being licensed, going back through the process of proving ownership, a process that doesnât even work 50% of the time - instead of extending the olive branch to itâs developers and getting their input on such a catastrophic change.
This sets a very clear precedent: Roblox will sooner sell out developers than they would dedicate any of their resources to workshopping this change and finding a valid solution that makes all parties happy - in this case, the music labels and the developers.
Roblox refuses to stand up for developers when it matters most - this is more than just an issue with audios, it is just the first decision in what is likely to be a consistent pattern of disregarding the concerns of developers and continue to make their lives harder just to cater to the frivolous demands of whatever company decides to sue them. Itâs easy to get emotional and worked up about this because of how often this same thing has happened - being sold out by Roblox so that they have the opportunity to line itâs pockets even further.
Youtube and Twitch are both able to let content creators stream audio by having a valid means for DMCA takedown requests. A system like this could be easily implemented by Robloxâs 1,200 employee team, but instead theyâve decided to cripple work flows and destroy games just so that the platform looks more appealing to music labels and triple a game studios.
This is sincerely disappointing and demotivating.

Iâm extremely happy with this update.
Though its a little obsurd why you canât just click on the ID and it brings you directly towards that ID number, and highlights it so you can delete it.
This helps with certain IDâs in HUGE song lists. If that could be updated that would be another nice addition.
Love how we are left completely in the dark. No staff has actually bothered to visit the topic to give us further news regarding the matter or answer peopleâs questions. Even Microsoft Customer Support would respond quicker than this.

Iâm Debating whether i should quit Roblox game development just because of this update, also 5 minutes later and the Roblox stocks keep going down due to a bad Roblox audio update being handled in a poor way
RIP ROBLOX
