[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

I love Roblox, I basically grew up with this. I can stand RTHRO and other updates, but I do not want to waste all of my time that I’ve spent learning code and testing, wasting so much time that I could have done something like meet new people, forcing myself to spend so much time, losing sleep just to get some code fixed. To be wasted because one update they didn’t think through enough. WHERE IS THE MONEY I SPEND ON ROBUX GOING TO!!?

O/T so i’ll take the warning :man_shrugging:

core isn’t even a fraction close enough to the ability the roblox engine gives us. Yes, it’s unreal engine, but you can’t even upload custom meshes. Not to mention, you’re using their repitoire of audios.

the monopoly is real on this one folks :pensive:
lets all move to making discord bots, that hobby is REALLY fun to pick up

So when are we going to get a refund for all of our robux spent on audios?

never… you will never get one

Roblox said that some people have to apply for that, it’s not automatic for everyone.

Idk how or where.

minecraft is where it’s at i swear. Easy mix of server software, an easy language to learn, and a great community with reach on more platforms.

ehhhhh

I already want to quit Roblox, this change is only encouraging me.

Please give us the ability to sort through music and sound effect categories. Don’t name music tracks things like “door open” which make it impossible to find what you’re looking for.

I have a feeling that this decision was irreversible.

Roblox staff post great updates most of the time, and only I’ve only seen a few been controversial (no events, forced new materials, Talent Hub, etc). However, it’s clear that they usually revert or delay the update if a large amount of negative criticism is received.

Even if they want to continue this update, they would probably have extended the due date at the very least or just avoided automatically privating old audios. Either way, if they had the ability to change their minds, they would have at least done so by now.

However, they haven’t, and Roblox remains silent about this update. Therefore, I think that Roblox was forced to removed copyrighted audio by March 22nd as part of a class action lawsuit that was filed on copyrighted audio.

Although nothing is confirmed, I believe that Roblox’s legal department tried to quickly solve the lawsuit by agreeing to removing all copyrighted audio within a short timeframe, then told the engineering department to work on the solution (to just private all the audios).

I see so many people say they are going to quit Roblox, but I doubt Roblox will ever be affected. Most of its top developers will probably keep it going, and new developers will constantly come to the platform. I feel that in reality, not much people are going to quit, and that most will eventually just accept losses and move on.

TL;DR: Roblox can’t do much about this and we’ll just have to move on.

Finally someone that’s using there brain instead yelling at Roblox. People out here really think Roblox is doing this update on purpose

Would be fun to get roblox mad, tho.

What are the chances?!

Uhhmmmmm…thats classified.

Thats classified aswell.

well thats a hot take.

I am not going to leave, but I will probably quit for a while. Tho, roblox is all I got. I live in a boring area.

Oh god the drama didn’t end there for sure

U h h h.

Unity

Unreal engine

Godot

Game maker Studio 2

There’s a bunch of other engines that are so much better than Roblox, and there’s nothing stopping us from moving to these much better alternatives.

You seem to forget the fact that Roblox relies on our creativity and imaginative visions to succeed, and that if NOBODY used Roblox studio then that means there would be no games for any of the players to enjoy.

WE are the backbone of this platform, WE provide this platform content. We have every right to be angry about this and to say that we owe EVERYTHING to Roblox just shows how much of a yes-man you are acting like.

And conversely, we are also responsible for making sure that we are treated fairly. We have to stand up when we are being mistreated. Lest we get trampled over like how we are right now.

Stop it, both of you (@markthemat3, @seanieplays). Keep your unnecessary comments that are out of the main context to yourselves. If you are going to answer, do it in a way that contributes to the topic and does not encourage an argument.

If you want to continue your discussion, please do it by private message and not here.

The only thing you will do is get a warning and deletion of your comments from the Developer Forum moderation team.

What the hell are you talking about. Literally, am I not allowed to give an opposing opinion

You are forming and initializing an argument by simply someone who wants to opt out of the Roblox platform. If he wants to opt out, then let him do it and don’t comment or give any opinion about their decision, if he wants to make it public, well, let him make it public and the moderators will decide whether to remove his comment or not. It’s as simple as that. End of discussion.
