Change the Dropdown to Number Input when configuring places

As a Roblox developer, using a dropdown when selecting how many players can play my game feels very unprofessional. Having to type the number in a text box would be way more efficient than using a drop down every time.

Why not have the option for both?

Personally I prefer the drop down, but others may not.

Options for trivial features like this bloat the interface/settings more than they empower users, so we try to find an implementation that most/all users like so there’s no need for an option. In this case if a textbox isn’t sufficient, another option would be a slider. That being said, there’s usually an industry standard for any type of input, so we’ll probably just end up using that.
