[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

[IISato (Sato)]

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.

They’re 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 I’m like doing a 24 hour survival challenge or something.

@a_eschylus

The content of it is debatable, but the point of this all is is that the music industy collectively sued roblox because they felt roblox wasn’t doing anything to protect the distribution rights. Roblox is now punishing us all as a whole because they couldn’t implement a better system.

@IxGamerXL

I doubt Roblox will adapt to their crippled revenue after this though… Not even talking about the audio fees either.

@alessdai

Im still appalled. Time to usd sell my limiteds! Im out. Screw this

@seanieplays

hey troops
im back again to protest
if you plan on quitting this platform:

for scripters: move to python/core
for builders: move to blender/core
for 3d modellers: move to core

lets just go 2 core

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.

[DalekAndrew99]

I may very well quit in the future, but not for attention or whatever dumb things like that. I’m just starting to find roblox to be too annoying to work around. I’ve 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 I’m finished with my current projects.

Players and Dev will always looking for another way to bypass audio checks blah blah

If there’s a hole, there’s a goal.

[camomileex0]

Luckily only a couple of my 50-100 e x p e r i e n c e s had sound. Big relief, and I still have 6 left. But having to look online for a sound to upload instead of the audio library makes it feel like Roblox is just trying to get less involved in it, whatever “it” is, I don’t even know anymore.

We’ll have to get used to this update I am sure. I guess I’m a roblox developer again because I reuploaded my sounds and I can’t find any more games of mine with sound.

(Audio checks and moderation surprisingly took at most 1 minute.)

[minecraftwolf1978 (Lolz)]

But we haven’t found out how to get to that goal yet.

[EthanBlox_TV (Ethan)]

not this day, soon we will crack the code between the barriers.

[p0s_0 (pos0)]

I cannot believe that Roblox has not responded after nearly 4,000 posts condemning this update. It’s clear that they’re looking at the thread, otherwise, how would they have moderated those posts?

It’s probable that this update will be pushed. I can see thousands of games being silent. One of the examples that I know of would be “Eg” by Nimblz. In my opinion, it would be highly disrespectful if that game was silenced.

Hopefully Roblox reconsiders this, and just sticks to the strike system the have for audio now. It’s better than this, and that’s saying a lot.

[Mystery_Devx (IAmMyst)]

What a horrible update, Do you guys even think about others games such as games with radio game passes and audios that are uploaded by inactive account? Every update or new change this company makes is mostly for the worst at this point. Very disappointing.

Roblox is that homer simpson meme where hes buff in the front but a bunch of clips covering over problems in the back

[eatabler0ck (eatablerock)]

Honestly 90% of the Roblox songs suck. A lot of them are classical-ish, and very instrumental (which isn’t bad, but these songs don’t fit what most people are looking for).

[minecraftwolf1978 (Lolz)]

I know right, to be honest most of the Roblox audio sucks and is 99% of the time just cookie cutter and bland.

[canboxs]

Also adding on to my comments about this. The fact that no Roblox staff responds to this at the time of writing baffles me. Are they gonna reply to the reaction of this?

[JiveJakealope]

In my opinion, the only good audios roblox has uploaded in my opinion are old ones that replaced content deleted songs and some other things

[Sir_Highness]

Well, its because they don’t have any news to put out. Do you expect them to respond 4000 times that the plan hasn’t changed?

I wouldn’t expect any response unless something changes.

[seanieplays (syl)]

im sure a lot of the staff at roblox HQ have their own opinions about it
but keep in mind they have specific people who can only announce specific things
so its going to be hard to formulate a response

[eatabler0ck (eatablerock)]

Ngl, some of the “older” roblox audios are just better.
New: Determination - Roblox
Old: Night Vision - Roblox

[minecraftwolf1978 (Lolz)]

Well, Roblox promised us they would “stay in touch with our community”. Now Shure maybe it’s impossible to reply to every comment but still they didn’t have to lie!
