[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

As far as I know… uhh… I don’t think so?

This is exactly the problem. Roblox won’t listen to anyone, and they do as they please. Someone needs to make a fan version of Roblox that has everything that people want because Roblox won’t listen.

I’m working on both a Piggy game and a simulator, and most of the audios I’m using are much longer than 6 seconds. Unfortunately, I think I’m gonna have to delay both due to this update. :frowning:

Is there a way to pin messages somehow??? This guy did a great way of explaining what’s going on other than another one of “ROBLOX IS THE WORST!!” post.

I know you weren’t talking to me, but wanted to get some more opinions on this idea. What if instead of a limit being based on amount of uploads, there was a total seconds amount allotted per month. There could still be different tiers that being higher amounts of seconds. This type of system would allow for developers to be able to upload a lot of smaller length sounds and less longer sounds which seems pretty good since small sound effects typically outnumber stuff like background music. To make it even better there could be an increasing fee if you go more than the total seconds you are given per month (like before).

The update applies to any public audio that is over 6 seconds long, so you are safe even if you own audio that is over 6 seconds. Sort of comes at inconvenience imagine you use Nintendo music or a soundtrack that someone else uploaded which makes it easier so you don’t have to go out of the way to download it and edit yourself to reupload. That’s what made it so easy but the new system makes that much harder, it’s like remaking a Minecraft building in your world from the internet. IT TAKES TIME!

We’re aren’t mad because of that, we’re mad that the audios will become unusable basically useless.

Yeah I feel you on that man, quite a thing being stolen from of that work lol.

Also I wish the best for you on these new changes! And good luck with your project you’re working on! :wink:

like for real cuz i think they dont said that publicly

I am just going to say that yaaasss queen… you go girl… :nail_care:

Why do you think this update would affect your ip address?

You do realize that a lot of developers rely heavily on the library to make their game sound better?

Give people at least a base of 200 audio files per month, and make developers get 10k or 1k. 10 is way too small for a game.

SFX and Music Producers, your values have just skyrocketed. Congratulations.

this update should get reverted, its just impossible to transfer or download audios, and overall the update is bad

Maybe doing a per month thing isn’t a good idea?
Maybe I’m wrong and upload per months is a good idea…?

Also here’s something to think about: If this update is about the lawsuit that roblox profited off copyrighted songs or whatever. Could ROBLOX have stopped this issue by trying to upgrade their copyright bot to detect copyrighted instances better, and work with companies to get copyrighted assets removed that ROBLOX wasn’t aware of in the first place? Or is that unrealistic?

This extention makes the audio extraction process easier by having a download button next to audios
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/btroblox-making-roblox-be/hbkpclpemjeibhioopcebchdmohaieln Use this to save your audios before its too late(or you can edit the html and get the file there)

This update exists due to a lawsuit. Can’t they just WIN the lawsuit with actually GOOD reasons on why they should win instead of making their community suffer with them? Roblox made ZERO consideration to the community when deciding this update. They can’t handle to lose 7 million dollars out of probably 10 billion dollars so the community doesn’t suffer. I know it probably doesn’t work like that, but as many kids like buying robux, stocks would just go up again!

How can Roblox still think that what they are doing is good?
Roblox employee: ah yes let me push this update now
Also roblox emplooye: why suddenly 3131 posts of the update in my post, probably because it was the best update!
Jokes aside, this is seriusly one of the if not the worst change in roblox, there were better ways to avoid these copyright laws, and you knew.
