As Roblox plans to replace all existing Classic Faces with Dynamic Heads, they have been taking the previous Classic Faces offsale, with no way to obtain them ever again. Feedback on this decision has been incredibly negative, since the replacement heads are not 1:1 recreations, and not everyone wants to have an animated head.
Since Dynamic Heads are a bundle type, it would be great if Roblox just bundled the old Classic Faces in with the newer Dynamic Head bundles, so that you’d get both items for one purchase. Everyone would be happy.
What is the future of business when it comes to tackling giants like amazon.
I think roblox has a unique opportunity to influence a new generation of online marketing and selling imagine a world where you can order anything you want from in a game such as roblox the ability to sell your tshirts in game would be super cool
or lets say your a farmer and want to sell your food to people directly
thru a game ?
What is the future thought process on that
i think the metaverse is something that can easily become a part of everyday life.
just like amazon or netflix
There is a clear need in the marketplace for particular UGC clothing categories such as body suits, handheld items, masks, etc. The shoes category isn’t even open. It’s much easier for Roblox to narrow categories down if there are too many than it is to introduce new ones later, and yet creators are extremely constrained.
What is the reason for keeping the categories super narrow, forcing people to categorize things strangely and reduce searchability, and what is Roblox’s plan for accommodating these creative use cases?
Any upcoming Updates for Consoles/Controllers like, Dual-Sense Controller Support (Haptic Feedback, with Adaptive Triggers), 3D audio support, Voice chat and Type chat support, gyro support, even a possible release for switch?
The lack of communication between UGC staff and creators is abysmal in comparison to communication between other developer roles and staff. When can we expect this to improve and have more of a direct channel to directly discuss issues with moderation, false takedowns, bugs, etc.?
Can we also expect to see a private ‘Top’ UGC creator Guilded where top earners and experienced creators can have a safe environment to talk about issues with UGC that reflect the opinions of the community, set up monthly office hours, etc.? This is the treatment that other developers have and as Roblox is pushing hard with regards to UGC For All, it is unfortunate that us creators do not also have equal treatment to talk about matters that need to be addressed, especially if Roblox wishes to see this now-public program flourish.
About 2 years ago, Roblox started making old popular offsale items limited. After about a year of 1-2 going limited daily, Roblox stopped with the introduction of UGC limiteds as they wanted to give UGC limiteds the spotlight. Will Roblox ever return to making more popular old offsales limited anytime soon? There are many highly sought after offsale items like Workclock Shades and Headphones, that haven’t gone limited yet. People will spend alot of money for them.
How does Roblox feel about being fully on the hook for the multiple billions worth of robux paid out as refunds from abuse of the European illegal content reporting form? Not only is this a robux duplication, the vast majority of the robux earned from the deleted items has been cashed out long ago, meaning Roblox is generating this robux out of thin air and paying fully out of pocket.
As more brands are moving to Roblox, the possibilities with regards to linking in real-world merchandise more directly seem like they would be the next thing around the corner. How do you imagine a service for handling this type of commerce plays out in Roblox’s eyes? For example, is the goal to provide an API/tooling to embed third-party commerce services within experiences, or is the goal to build a full e-commerce component native to Roblox? If there isn’t much to share here yet, it’d be interesting to know how strong of a priority this is amongst everything else changing with Roblox’s economy (and possibly a potential timeframe for when we’d learn more? )
As the ability to create UGC accessories has been enabled for everyone, I must ask if there will ever be any future changes to punishing copyright theft?
As creators cannot realistically be expected to navigate the avatar marketplace page, there will be situations where their ip can be stolen, reuploaded and profited off of without said creator knowing. If this creator does find out, the punishment for a strike that goes through is only a warning on a first offense. This does not reconcile the potential weeks to months of stolen sales from said creator and unless the sales from the stolen ip is returned to the creator, it is a total loss for everyone, but the initial thief. Perhaps a much more severe punishment for discovered theft after a month or more past its initial publish date would help rectify this issue.
In this post, I’ve mentioned the potential bad effects of the plugins now being sold by USD instead of Robux, I’ve read the FAQ and everything, and I would still like to ask, is Roblox sure that they couldn’t have found another solution? I think I made some good points in my post and replies talking about other potential solutions that would’ve helped to address the solutions both on the seller and the customer side.
Currently, this change creates a huge imbalance in the market by only caring about the plugin creators, and not the customers (other developers). Roblox advertises itself as a global platform where its creators can come and build regardless of their position and situations in the world, but this change only prioritizes one certain population.
to create a summary of this feature request – I’m a content creator who has created videos about my and other creator’s UGC, in accumulation these videos have gathered over 100 million views between 2020-2023
I’ve stopped making these videos because ultimately I was driving unmeasurable amount sales to these items and as the video creator, I had no way to reap any rewards from this.
I would love to hear your thoughts adding a link based affiliate system for the Roblox marketplace (similar to online shopping platforms such as Amazon) where the 40% avatar commission can be received by influencers and creators who are driving sales through their own channels.
Are there any plans to make an official marketplace system for limited items to sell them for real cash? The black market scene on Roblox is massive and has a lot of scams happening left and right. It would be interesting to have an official system in place, considering some Roblox limiteds cost up to or more than $10000.
During the last AMA, i asked if you still had any plans regarding limited items/sales. You replied to me saying “No”. However, during “The Hunt” you guys released a bunch of cool new limiteds. I’m wondering if you are considering doing more of this, and, potentially, making old stuff go limited like you did back in 2022.
When will dynamic head accessories release? It was announced a while ago but has never been implemented. The inability to implement accessories onto our dynamic heads heavily impacts our creative freedom.
