Honestly, what I think about the audio change is already said by most of us. And the fact that all audios over 5.5 seconds will get auto privatized will make most of the games we play silent makes little to no sense to me. And this is the sore point that stands out to me.

Quick disclaimer: Itās actually down to 5.5 seconds, the numbers get rounded up and so 5.5 would be 6.

That makes more sense to me, been trying to reupload a engine audio and its below 6 seconds but its still not allowed.

Wow so we get 10 audio uploads before most audio gets essentially deleted. Welp I suppose I need to find the best sound effects that my games use.
Hey by the way, hereās a small tip:
To download the sounds, just get BTRoblox, then go to https://roblox.com/library/audioID and replace audioID with the numbers in the soundās sound property. Then you can hit the download button and reupload.

Submitting your ID via ID verification isnāt doxxing yourself, thatās a bit dramatic isnāt it?

point still stands, some people are just simply not comfortable releasing information like that.
The wording is dramatic but the main point isnt

Yeah. Iām with you here. Iāve been false warned several times over decals/audio. That much that I moved over to alternate accounts. Iāve already downloaded all the audio I need to reupload for my group games but Iām too scared to actually do the reuploading part since my main is verified and has 100. But of course my alts only get 10. I just canāt be bothered to make alt, join group, log back into my main (that has 2FA and ātrust this device for 30 daysā doesnāt work) rank the alt so it that can upload audios, log back into the alt, upload the audios, have some get rejected, hit the 10 upload limit, repeat.

This update is terrible, you may get free audio uploads. But us developers have to entirely re do our games. Some of us canāt even repair it cause we can only upload 10 audios a month.
They plan on applying this to other assets like textures and meshes to.
Think of it this way, 99% of the Roblox games you like will be broken. This is not a good update at all. Think about this from the point of a developer. Youād see things differently.

This is pretty bad in regards to audio upload limits.
When I do audio updates Iām updating like 100s of audio files at a time with the bulk import.
It gets expensive but I can still cover it. It actually puts my robux to use for the game.
Having a free limit and then paying for whatever goes over would make more sense.

This is honestly garbage. The sheer impact this will have on the roblox platform was clearly not considered. Almost every game has almost all of its audio made by someone other than the creator. Sure, you get to upload free audios, thatās great, but youāll need to replace them all in 10 days or less otherwise your game will be silent. Not everyone has the resources to replace every audio. This just seems like roblox wants everything to be branded about itself. Horrible update.

Itās been three days now without a response, this is beyond embarrassing.
Are we seriously going to go through with this update without ajusting anything?!
I understand the reason behind this update and iām not trying to sugarcoat it, but this update is still full of flaws even if I donāt consider current audios becoming private:
- Action window being too small (especially for devs with 10/month limit)
- Upload limit is unclear, many users have 2k/month without meeting any of the requirements
- Group owners canāt use their own audio in group games
- Free audios easily exploitable by bots, no real barrier to uploading
These are just the main ones I can think of, there are a few others but theyāre fairly small, or are just overreactions.
How are we almost 4000 posts in with no response? I just donāt understand anymore.

I donāt think you fully understood what I meant, submitting your ID means it getās reviewed, then when itās confirmed to be real, it getās saved into the data logs as a signature of proof of identity. If you think about how one person could easily be making a mistake or not properly looking into it, then what would be a way to figure out if someoneās identity confirmation/checkmark was false? Exactly. It would be foolish to freely let a staff worker be able to checkmark someone without logging it as āThis happened, here is this userās proof of identification in case of a situation.ā, considering how impossible it would be to have a higher up supervise every one each. - You simply canāt tell me that any staff worker can be trustworthy when we talk about Roblox Staff.
The other point, Robloxās security is very questionable and they usually mess up, would you really give in your ID and risk it to being exposed in a breach?

If you say this, you realize that all of the old games with old sounds will be completely muted.
Theyāre being sued alongside Veriff for not requiring better security regarding IDs. with knowing this, I requested to have my ID removed from my account (essentially de-age verifying it) and roblox support has yet to respond.

Also I bet a lot of hate for this update would be diminished if it just didnt auto privatize any audio, and allowed people to do that themselves.

Please read the original post.
Theyāre privating all audio (essentially deleting it) that is more than 6 seconds (considered to be music instead of a sound effect.)
Anyway sigh I just used up 3 uploads. Only 7 left. Feels like Iām like doing a 24 hour survival challenge or something.

I hate this update so much, Roblox, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!
Why do we even put up with Roblox anymore? they obviously Arnt going to respond.

I may very well quit in the future, but not for attention or whatever dumb things like that. Iām just starting to find roblox to be too annoying to work around. Iāve tried developing on other platforms before and I was surprised at how much freedom you get compared to roblox. Surely plenty of other people left for the same reason.
Although it will be a while until Iām finished with my current projects.
