Agreed. People always said, âI will quit if Roblocks continues this!1!1!!11!!11â Like nobody cares. Itâs a platform with so many amazing games like Piggy, Jailbreak etc. thatâll stop you from leaving. After all, these âquitâ stuff are happening because of Roblox updates.

Posting here isnt âquitting robloxâ its a forum with roblox devs who DIDNT quit. Quitting roblox is choosing not to PLAY games or CREATE games

I wonât quit Iâll just get angry, and probably try to rebuild games that were destroyed, so i can play them again
While itâs true that most will probably not quit Roblox entirely, it is definitely true that most will quit developing on Roblox studio.
Thereâs a difference from playing on a platform that mistreats their developers, and developing on a platform that mistreats their developers.

Right, and iâm saying all these people claiming theyâll quit will be here in 6 months posting questions on how to get their script to work when it throws errors at them.

This update honestly de motivated me to make updates to my game, and also de motivated me to make new games for my entertainment. I hope ROBLOX re thinks this. If they go along with this pretty everything everyone said here will happen (games going silent, boombox gamepasses being useless etc). This will be the true doomsday of roblox. I really wished roblox actually thinks about what there doing instead of just going along with it. Also i would understand why a few here would like this update tho (privacy and free upload)

If this update is actively making people say they want to quit Roblox, even more so than previous updates, thatâs bound to be a really bad sign for the future.
You two donât seem to fully realize how harmful this update could be for developers if a good chunk of them are threatening to quit and move to other platforms.

At this point im just posting to raise awareness, and raise the post count. They will never respond to this. They never do
I was just saying developers now have the option to control whoever can use there audios now, however this doesnt change the fact that this update is gonna destroy roblox.
I know how bad it is. But I know people will find a way to move forward. Just as Roblox breaks games with this update, they can resolve problems that it creates with later updates. They are not going to throw their platform away.
I feel the pain. I know how much work this is causing.
Its a solvable problem, I believe it will be solved.
Yes its solvable for the new games, but classic games canât be fixed with an inactive developer
People will only hold on for so long, Roblox ainât giving us too many reasons to keep following them.
With all the restrictions, bad decisions on their end and general appearance that they donât care about us, it really makes you start to question "why should I even use their services anyways?"
Engines like Unity and Unreal Engine have been proven to be far superior, the only reason people stick to Roblox was BECAUSE of how user friendly the platform was, and now that is being curb stomped as well.

I think if they want to, Roblox would be able to make old games work again.
They could make the client handle missing audio differently?
They could emulate a silent track of the length of the private audio file.(so scripts wonât break) They could retroactively scan old content that was public and âre-publicâ it at some point when they can develop a mechanism.
There are many ways they can work to resolve issues that arise from this. I donât think they will just break everything and leave it at that.

Youâre right, I found the audio that was used in Party Palace in Natural Disaster Survival, and it appears that it was uploaded by a different person who uploaded it for Stickmasterluke.

While I would agree, Roblox just doesnât seem to care about smaller developers anymore. With the good updates comes the bad updates, and sometimes it just seems like Roblox is trying to hurt their platform in some way.
The best way any of this could be fixed is if either
A. Roblox forfeits the audio update like how they did the materials update and tries to find of a different solution while dodging and weaving lawsuits
Or B. Roblox modifies the update in some way to where it isnât as crippling as it is in the current state (Removing the monthly audio upload cap, not privating a giant chunk of audios, etc)
This isnât something the community could just easily fix given the heavy restrictions that were showcased to us; All we can hope is that Roblox actually listens to us rather than leave us in the dark.

Well, I get it. What I meant by that sentence is that Roblox has done worse updates over the years, and people always threatened to quit, but they never did. Other than that, I understand what you wanna say.

If you use a red x audio in a script by saying for example
AudioName:Play()
will this completely stop the script from doing the next thing or will it just continue without playing the sound?
We shouldnât have to put up with this madness. We were all given a two weeks notice to fix our audios, which would probably take way more than that for most developers. On top of that, the sounds they are promising as a replacement are coming AFTER the update, so a weâll have to spend more time to get our places back to working after the 22nd. Why on earth is Roblox giving us such ridiculous deadlines? It shouldnât have to be this way, right?
