Add descriptions and ID of a purchase from a prompt to prevent creators from scamming players

Hello I’m Ryxku and I would like to suggest that Roblox adds extra clarifications when you’re attempting to buy something.
Nowadays, some unknown devs create traps which don’t break the TOS to fool players and steal robux impacting on Roblox’s image and popularity.
For example, on this image, a famous game (Has more than 500 playings) is selling this thing :

My first question would be, what is this? Is it a gamepass? A roblox accessory? A dev product? A bundle?
You’re tempted to buy it because this game gives the impression of selling a character you can have, since the character in the game is identical to the one that appears in the purchase prompt.

That’s what I call a clever, hidden scam. Because this game doesn’t display this gamepass in its store on the web page. This gamepass was created through another experiment.

This scam would be avoided for many players if we could identify :

  • The asset ID of what they’re selling
  • The type of product
  • The description of the product (if it’s a gamepass or accessory)
  • The thumb up/down ratio if there’s one.

Why am I talking about it now? Because it’s a double problem for me. First, this game doesn’t have permission to use my assets, because yes, the bundle plant belongs to me, and the right manager is ineffective at stopping this kind of experiment, because you can’t dmca the creators’ gamepass.

I don’t think Roblox will care, because it will effect the money the company profits. And unfortunately the most important thing for Roblox is money. Personally I don’t think they will listen to you.

I don’t think Roblox’s reasoning can be summed up by money alone. Children safety matter.

I do agree with that. They do care about children safety, but that is likely because they don’t want to hurt their image for parents, so they don’t lose the younger player base, and don’t lose profit.

Displaying the Id product + Item type shouldn’t be a problem for Roblox.

the dmca system does kinda suck but I thought I would let you know that you can DMCA game passes if you explain that their icons are infringing your assets. I’ll tag my friend @idelww who might be able to explain this better

I already tried to dmca and Roblox did nothing for. They waited that the current dev updates their whole to decline my dmca and later my bundle came back in their game

I would recommend putting the game link here
chrome_mscjh1kpHV

and then attaching screenshots which explain in detail how it uses your assets without your permission


you could add an annotated diagram of your asset side by side with the asset in-game

unless this is what you did but it worked for me after my original takedown got declined so idk

The main problem is Roblox doesn’t want us to report gamepasses. So it’s like my report was ineligible

Yes : Plant - Roblox It’s in a different place to avoid some troubles

you should be able to dmca the game pass texture (you can put that url + the game’s url)
https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/120590318271792

remember to include a screenshot of it in your game with the link to your bundle. not sure if this would get the game banned but it might get the game pass deleted and hopefully the group deleted too. if the dmca gets approved the uploader (who also holds the group, this person didnt think that far ahead) should get banned (usually 3 day / termination depending on their track record) so at least if that works they will lose their group

if you included an image like this, it might help your dmca get approved

Hey I’m sorry for answering that late, I didn’t receive the notification from your old reply. So I restarted the dmca right now. I really hope it will work and I thank you for putting effort into my problem by doing researches and making this image!
Respect!

Here an update about the current situation, the dmca has been unapproaved because their creation (headless plant) differs from mine…
And they can’t find what’s going wrong with their game. It’s hopeless.
