[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

Mhm. Nice to know how we’re being listened to after the biggest update backlash we’ve ever seen on the platform.

There avoiding us because of the backlash. I mean yes, this is a ##### update, but its not they had a choice, but they could have handles this a lot better. Hell I even gave some better ways to do so.

@tnavarts Do you know if audios owned by a group will function in an individual’s game? Similarly to how animations and models can be used in individual’s games as long as the user has asset permissions in a group.

No, but I do think you will be able to turn off the private setting.

No, doing so would be perilous because then your game could stop working when you leave one of the groups you’re in. Animation permissions weren’t thought out very well so don’t assume they will form a template for how other permissions work.

To anyone whining about using Strofe. Strofe provides copyright-free music in exchange of a currency system which is earned daily (idk like a small amount) or you can purchase Strofe coins with real cash. The catch is unless you buy the audios with the currency, Strofe has every right to DMCA you for copyright infringement unless you buy the aforementioned audio. Strofe is NOT a convenient solution.

So what you’re telling me is that now I have to upload my sounds twice to get them to work in my game and a group game, that or we have to upload every game to the group.

What the actual heck?
You call privating peoples audio and limiting their uplaods a kind thing to do?
And let me tell you, the music they provide you isn’t going to be good at all (well maybe some, but the rest you can throw out of the window)… Don’t expect a 12yr old to go „This thing claps“ over a Monstercat song…

Ridiculous!

Knowing Roblox, they’ll probably go through with this update despite the major amount of backlash it’s receiving.

I just contacted my other developer, this is a completely unacceptable way to handle permissions. Now, we have to upload every sound, animation, model, and game to one group to continue what we were doing. We have thousands of animations and hundreds of models. We cannot migrate all of that. With how bad the sound upload queue is and how bad the moderation has been (see seven day ban above) we cannot feasibly upload all of that audio again. I just got done replacing audio and now this is what I’m hearing.

Can you, or somebody else behind this update please, for the love of all that is holy, figure SOMETHING out to make this less of a pain? This is literally impossible to fix without jeopardizing everything right now. We do not have any options here. Literally none.

We use animations across multiple groups in eachothers’ games, but because of the sound update, we either have to upload every sound effect multiple times to every group, or we have to upload every animation to a single group, which isn’t even something I want to think about.

I have tried to “adapt” to this update, but the fact that we cannot make audio public for an unforeseen amount of time, not to mention that we cannot find a workaround literally makes this impossible to fix. We have no solution and our games will be broken indefinitely. There is absolutely no feasible way to fix these things, especially given the absolutely abysmal time we’ve been given to do so.

Please do something, this is an unreasonable expectation to adapt to.

Apparently, Roblox doesn’t want to say anything. They have made no effort to communicate or even reply.

Every time there is a problem these roblox people don’t find a solution rather a horrendous cover up.

They have literal gorillas working in the idea department.

Knowing roblox, they will have to put this update in a trash can. 4,035 negative comments? They have to… if they don’t, hope developing on core is easy!

How is it still not getting through people’s heads that Roblox can’t trash this update? They are being sued.

:clap: Yes my guy… I hate to say it, but I may be forced to quit as well. Knowing Roblox they will have to take this update down because of the 4k negative comments. If they dont… then well, I will be announcing my goodbyes on my group. Pretty bad update ngl

The past few major game-breaking updates received responses far earlier than this has. This hasn’t been responded to, and it’s because of a lawsuit. It’s very safe to say this isn’t going to be reverted. They don’t care enough to try and fix it, and our words are falling on deaf ears.

This change will go through. It will not be taken back, Roblox would’ve responded by now if so

Do you want them to tell you a hundred times that this change is mandatory and they can’t change it? IDK what you guys think you should be hearing from Roblox if the plan hasn’t changed then it hasn’t changed.
