what we need to do is private all our games, do anything that puts a dent in their income and causes them to inevitably go out of business.
just switch over to gmod atp roblox ain’t gonna change
Team create was what mad me mad about this announcement. Felt unnecessary. That is like the cherry on top to this very bad announcement.

I’m pretty sure you get it back as well lol
You need to do a selfie, not verify your ID these are 2 different things. You would effectively be removing a fair chunk of developers who do not have a form of ID while also killing any chance new developers who are just experimenting from any chance of getting an audience. No platform requires an ID to get on its algorithm, because it’s not an efficient policy and blocks too many users in the process.
And being verified does not magically make a game safe, people buy verified accounts all the time, a solution has to be made but band-aiding the recommendation page is not an effective solution.
Also one more thing, they requested a 100k visit barrier to recommendations, are you seriously telling me they actually know what they are talking about when they say stuff like this..? I don’t need to explain how ridiculous that is

A consent based system will be essential to allow for continuation of normal gameplay on games that require it.. such as roleplay games.
P1 → sends request to P2 to request to chat [regardless of age] → P2 can accept/deny and can withdraw at any time.
This consent based system should only be available to an experience when it has been approved. How that would be done I don’t know.

lets route all roblox communication through the devforums instead of using roblox chat where we will have dedicated forum posts for each server!!!

Please send me where you’ve seen this, I genuinely want to know this.
Agreed, which is another reason that this update doesn’t actually solve the issue and is a PR stunt.
Ah, I see your point now. If this was extended to the whole “selfie,” as I had thought, then it’d be acceptable however the whole ID issue is a problem.
This update already does that. It’ll prevent developers communicating with their target audience, especially in games tailored to young children (<9 or 9-13). You also go on to say it’ll “block[s] too many users in the process.” This is also an issue with this current update for both developers and community members, hence why we’re so adamantly against it. Seeing how Roblox has gone on to double and even triple down on this, however, it seems unlikely that they care about the impact and are acting to specifically reduce their profits, monthly active users and investor’s trust.

Do I need to explain the difference between acqusition and engagement
They’re trying to censor us with this slow mode

When you start to hear the near guaranteed (but less known) wide-sweeping effects this will have from other people (for example: Team Create restrictions with a broad age gap average, 21+ brackets unable to interact with 60/70% of the community, game dev moderation/communication hurdles with their community & the collapse of general communal trading), the more this sounds like the proverbial nail in the coffin.
A trial by fire might be the last thing that happens before the point of no return hits. Absolute insanity that we’re here now.

No need because you’ve proven time and time again on this thread to be unaware of the impacts of this update and I doubt you sharing the difference will meaningfully contribute to anything I said.

what slow mode, it seems to have disappeared for me
You don’t need to personally talk to your users to get on the algorithm nor acquire users.. why did you even bring this up and why am I genuinely explaining this right now..??
