What a load of baloney. Most games have tons of audio in them. And the limit is 10 for an unverified account. Most developers will hit the limit.

AMEN BROTHER! They’re worth about $80 Billion and yes… they can afford to pay the lawsuit, but they are greedy and want to take more money rather than loose some ^-^

Exactly. That’s why a lot of the audio update is bogus.

And hours of waiting for audios to pass moderation

You’d think at this point that Roblox as a company has enough money and whatnot to push back against the music industry. I really do wish they did, for the benefit of practically the entire internet, but yet here we are.

Still not sure how this’ll affect me - I don’t put music in my games to begin with, but I do use random audio I found sorted by recent years ago for sound effects (I work alone, have no skill with audio, and can’t find everything I want from just Roblox’s Gear catalog)

Now if I don’t want to have to spend a year waiting for audio in my games to fully work because it’s only at 10 per month, I just have to leak my face to a big company! Thanks, Roblox.

Do you realize how much money they’re going to have to spend to license and keep those songs licensed? UMG is stingy, they would be spending hundreds of thousands if not millions on that. Not to mention, you would still have to replace the audios with the ones they upload. Licensing the audio will not fix the problems that they’re trying to remedy.

Considering the lawsuit is why this update is being so rushed in the first place, them being aggressive is a good thing, because it means they recognize that this is an issue.

Where the hell did I say you couldn’t complain? I’ve been one of the most vocal people here. I’m just saying that I don’t expect anything to happen because of the nature of the situation. If you’re going to criticize Roblox for something like this, you should probably consider that your expectations now are unrealistic. Criticize them for not coming up with a solution sooner, because that is why we are in this unavoidable situation now.

It’s not their problem? Of course it is. They’ve been getting sued over all this audio uploading and therefore they decide to put this update in order on March 22nd.

Roblox STILL hasnt responded to all of this backlash and closing in on 5000 replies (on the URL) it doesnt seem like they will. Further proving that our suggestions arent taken into account.

Roblox doesnt care about its developers or the community

Another thing I forgot to mention, this initial change does the OPPOSITE of allowing creators to control their asset privacy, by indefinitely banning the ability to use music WITH authorization from the audio uploader, and instead assuming every asset longer than 5 seconds is being used unauthorized even if the uploader wanted others to use them.

Also, my fellow repliers, please continue your constructive criticism but stop disrespecting the company as that might further encourage them to proceed with the update and/or not give an official response to us regarding the problem.

Remember when the community imploded over the avatar body color update that almost happened?
Even though this update is much bigger, I wonder if things will turn out just like that. I kinda have my doubts but all we can do is wait.

Some DET member did say that they passed it on to the team, but that’s all im aware of.

Well, Roblox Corportation won’t risk it. When someone sues a company, they can demand as much money as they want. Luckily, they were only sued for 200 million dollars, not 2 million dollars.
