I feel that the only good thing about this update is the free audios.
I own some vehicles, but 99% of the sounds in them are made by other people. This would pretty much break my entire game after March 22nd. I would have to reupload all the audio files myself, over a span of maybe a year.
This platform makes some good changes, but really effects the developers that rely on other audios from other users.

In my opinion, free audios themselves arenât really a good idea either.
A significant (50%+) price reduction would likely have sufficed, as making them free allows bypassers to create an unlimited number of alternate accounts to spam bypassed audios to brute-force moderation with no expense at all, much like decals.

Itâs kind of 50/50 on the free audios in my opinion.
Some people (newer players) may be poor and wonât be able to afford the price, or they donât want to spend money on the platform just yet.
Other people (game devs) would just be wasting money on an audio, and it seems pointless to upload them when there was a catalog.
LOL. This makes me think that if roblox uploads âintense battle musicâ then its gonna be hip hop or jazz

Why canât I bulk replace entire sections???
Doing stuff like this will take up so much time. This update is extremely idiotic.

Depends on upload limit, however even with 2000 uploads that will still take awhile.
speaking of, how do you get that 2k limit? It seems extremely unfair for most who are stuck with the 100 maximum.
It might be based off of account age. Mine was made about April 2021 and I can only upload 10. Other people might have older accounts and will be able to upload more audios.
EDIT: Checked my account from 2018, I also have 10 maximum. At this point I got no clue.
Itâs just luck and chosen people however it might also because people are on roblox beta?
There doesnât seem to be a pattern at all. Or maybe there is, but Roblox is withholding the criteria⌠as usual. I joined in June of 2012, have been ID verified, and have premium, but only have 100 monthly uploads. Devex doesnât seem to affect the limit either, as some seem to have 2000 with or without having devexed.
I seriously hope meshes wonât be affected in the same way audios will be. This would screw over the entire platform.
edit: meant to reply to @Fated2Be

What is your total game visit count?
All roblox has to do is fix their moderation, but hey since when did roblox care anyways?

Uhm how does privating the audio help deal with copyright? Why not delete it entirely and not risk another lawsuit? And also one thing I wanna know. You already are trying to improve your potato servers, so why not focus on improving everything else (Including your TERRIBLE moderation, Potato servers, AND the copyright bot) so that you donât have to work on it anymore? But⌠I donât work at Roblox HQ and Iâm just a developer, so what can I do.

This script I made might help, its not as easy as a gui bulk replace(which they should have included) but it helps if you have a lot of instances with same soundID to replace.

Somehow I have 2000 uploads (i wont need that much lol)
At least you donât have 10 like me, and a game with hundreds of sounds with none of them made by yourself.
Will there be an actual sort for sound effects? I really donât want to sift through hundreds of songs while looking for sound effects?
Wow. Just wow. I am actually appalled that a multi-billion dollar company is this damn careless for its users and doesnât even bother to try when it comes to legal situations. They would rather hurt its own developers than to stand up for themselves. This is just sad.
