Allow us to freely transfer our games between our profile / groups

Support, although I don’t have a game I would like to transfer, I know people who would like to.

Support, I really feel bad for users who made games on their profile instead of their group.

Support. This along with the ability to display group games on your profile need to be a thing.

Full support! Even as a smaller dev, transporting my game took hours of readusjting assets onto my group game. It was very tedious work…

I think a good approach to this would be to use to the already existing publish game to new game feature in studio. It would reroute all of the content that is related to the current game Id to use the newly published one. Effectively creating another version of the game that is a carbon copy (but the data is separate from then on).

It would be ideal for him to be able to keep Favorites, especially so that the link on returning users’ home page still links to the active game. Publish Game to New Game would confuse and potentially lose a fair chunk of repeat players.

For this particular scenario, I can see how the requested feature is necessary.

Support. Please bring this to Roblox. It’d be a good thing for us developers.

Also support. I can also imagine people may need to move a game from one group to another if it switches development team.

I also want to throw in the point that, when developers are first introduced to roblox, they and prompted to create places linked directly to their profile.

Every roblox profile still starts with one default place linked to their profile.

Think of all the new developers who start building a game linked to their profile, only to hit a brick wall when they want to avail from group game benefits, but physically can’t. This is another reason as to why this feature is sorely needed.

I would love to move Club Boates to a group to expand and start a development team, however I haven’t because I’d have to move it to the group and setup a teleporter to the new place, then transfer the data somehow as well as the developer products. At the end of the day I’d be left with a game shell nobody plays to keep the place visits on my profile or have to remove it altogether.

I also have a few other games I’d love to move to groups, but it’s just too much of a hassle for each one.

One could assign the game’s owner as whoevers profile it’s on or whoever owns the group it’s under.

@ColdDeveloper I also support displaying group games on your profile.

You can directly relate to how much of an issue the lack of this feature is, it seems.

Yeah I guess those reasons alone are why we don’t have my suggested feature :stuck_out_tongue:

For sure support this, a feature like this would be an awesome time saver and it would also save all the trouble of configuring the game twice that you want transferred. Not to mention transfer of data.

Sounds good, but I’m also worried about people who might abuse it.

Imagine someone gets hands on mine or your account.
He joins some group called “:ok_hand: Minions Fan Club :ok_hand:”.
He transfers the game, basically getting a copy of it.
He leaves.
He then can sell the copy to some idiot for 5 gorillion robux on a site called “PlaceMarketRBX”.

It needs some kind of verification process.
Maybe the process will take a week or less, but you can always cancel it.
If it’s not, it will be transfered.

tl;dr - Good idea, just needs security measurements

Wouldn’t someone getting hands on your account be the major barrier they shouldn’t be able to get past in the first place? I imagine if someone gets their hands on your account, they can do anything with the games you have.

This. The most anyone could do with this system is either get copies of the game which are missing things such as data, which they currently can within your account, or leave copies with said data, but leaving a pretty obvious trail for admins to find along the way.

So I’d have to guess that it won’t really change anything from what we have now with people getting into your account.

Its different than just stealing a game from your account by copying it. With group game transfers, this would also include badges, data, gamepasses, etc. as far as I’m aware, and that is much worse than just taking a copy of the game.

How is having saves worse? They have access to it anyway when they’re on your account, so they’re already able to do everything they can with a copy now. If you’re worried about the game getting popular because it has saved data, that would be a new issue, but not one that’d be difficult to resolve. ROBLOX could just follow the audit trail and delete all of them.

If that isn’t enough, we can restrict transferring so that games can never go user → user or group → group, and once transfered the game can no longer be transfered anywhere except back to the original group/user. If someone transfered a game under your account to their group, they wouldn’t be able to transfer it to another group or another user. If someone transfered a group under your group to their account, they wouldn’t be able to transfer back to another group or another user. To deal with the copy and saved data, all ROBLOX would have to do is move the game back to the original owner.
