Hello Im not sure about DevEx having a connection to this cause I have 2000 uploads per month and I havent DevEx since I made this account and on the playercount I dont think so either cause I have no successful games lol, maybe its because of me being verified? not sure but Im glad I have 2000 uploads per month lol and I dont have premium either
The privacy changes will apply to ALL new audio going forward and will also retroactively apply to existing audio assets that are longer than 6 seconds.
Thereās no justification for tampering with existing audio. If they want to make their audio private, they can do that themselves. I donāt know why you assumed this. Itās not like the community isnāt direct about what they want from you.

Donāt worry, my wording was even more aggressive. Having pretty much every game broken is a concerning view for the direction that Roblox is going in. Being scared of an update/limitationās consequences is alright.
When we turn on the new privacy settings, the audio assets in your experience will stop working if they were not uploaded by the same user or Group who created the experience.
this is terrible news! Your not only destroying countless games devoted to improving the audio algorithm but your disabling all developers from using any at all

I feel you, I have to reupload over 150 audio asset ids. Some people I know have to upload over 900. I understand that this is a pain, but in the end, we have free audio uploads. Others may not be as fortunate as me with 2000 uploads per month, but eventually I have no doubt Roblox will respond with some sort of follow up information on how to get these uploads. I am simply a small dev, Iām not a special verified user, and Iāve never devxād, I guess I could say I got lucky this time. (Who knows? lol).

99% of Robloxās entire audio library, built upon over over a decade, about to be nuked in a senseless update. This will also break many games without active developers, as well as forcing every single dev to manually reupload all audio used in their game under their name.
Free to upload audio will allow alts to upload inappropriate audio easily.
Itās ok because we can use Roblox sponsored Royalty-Freeā¢ music.
What on EARTH is this update? This is probably the worst one by a long shot.

If it wasnāt for the fact that any audio over 6 seconds is being forced to go private, this update would actually be okay. But no, instead our hand is being forced in a decision we did not consent to or even ask for. Sure, allow new audio to be private by default, thatās perfectly fine, but existing ones should be left alone. Thereās no reason to do this and only makes it harder for developers to do what is necessary for their experiences.
Leave existing assets alone.

I love and donāt love this.
First off. I DO NOT LIKE the fact that all audio will be set to private. Does that mean that currently all free-to-take audio that has been in my inventory will become unavailable to use?
A lot of games will simply stop working properly, especially those that arenāt updated anymore. We developers at times rely on things that already exist in the market for us. This is a bad change and overcomplicates things

Please Roblox, listen to your community the amount of backlash against this change shows its not in the best interest of the community
As I read more comments the more I see how this change is a bad change, itās going to break a lot of games and show cases. If something is already free to use why make it go private, it already is a pain to find the perfect sound for things, this will only make it far worse. Sure we could upload our own, but there also is things that go into that too. It has to be able to be uploaded or fit guidelines.

Get ready for the deafening silence of pretty much every abandoned/older Roblox game.
I feel as if it would be better to default older audios to public? This will be a very ominous changeā¦
