The requirements to become a member in the Dev Forums don’t require you to have developed a game or have helped contribute to a game from a development standpoint. So this wouldn’t really be a good metric to determine if someone has “contributed” to the development of a game.
Also could possibly see an issue if a game blows up quickly (somehow) and the developer want to give the Crown of O’s to the side-developers and contributes but they haven’t been in the group for an certain amount of time
Sucks that this had to happen since side-developers and contributes can’t get the Crown of O’s (temporary) although I understand and accept the reasoning behind it all.
What if the developer has a system where their side-developers/contributes don’t have editing access to the place (the side-developer/contribute gives the things and the (main) developer adds it into the main game)? Could possibly see an issue with that.
Or their field of profession isn’t on Studio itself. Certain development fields like GFX and music composing aren’t done in Studio and users often don’t have edit access to the places they work on.
Visits are not the same as MAU. You need 100 MAU, not visits. In order to be eligible for the Golden Crown of O’s you need 100 unique players to join your game over the course of a month.
You need to have a certain amount of MAU to be able to download it, somewhere from 1-5k. Not entirely sure because it’s never been documented, but it also takes 1-2 months until the data becomes available for your selected month.
Will people who have waited almost 3 months for their crowns receive it then (I’ve waited 2 months and 21 days now and the owner of the game I helped work on had it for that period of time)?
I honestly don’t think this is going to stop anything as groups to get people the crowns still exist, nothings stopping people getting the Crowns for using the starter place and gaining a certain amount of MAU.
Usually isn’t good enough. Still don’t think being in the Developer Forums should be accounted when someone is trying to give the crown of O’s to a side-developer/contributor. And what if the specific side-developer/contributor. rarely look at the Dev Forums (And aren’t a "member)?
Also the specific user having to be a “member” in the Developer Forums for possibly months seems like a while. Could stop newer developers from getting the Crown of O’s. Still believe there are better ways of deciding if someone is “eligible” for the Crown of O’s
This approach is very flawed. There are a LOT of groups out there whose owners do legitimately nothing and reap the rewards of the crowns from having all their subordinates doing all the work. Its better to have the dishonest submissions then kill it entirely, because I can say first hand that this is going to cause a massive lack of motivation.
Very disappointing seeing that they made it give the award only to the owner of the game. I understand as to why this happened but at the end of the day its a virtual crown. I understand that it is an award but rather then giving out some ones that weren’t supposed to be given, they are instead taking the ones away from those who deserve the crowns. Makes sense overall just a bit sad I guess. Also, I sent an email to devawards@roblox.com after waiting 3 months for my crown. It has been two weeks without a response, should I wait longer or is ROBLOX support taking longer then it should?
Very disappointing to hear, but it is good to know it was meant to counter the dishonest responses and practices spreading. In true honesty, people shouldn’t be hating ROBLOX and Developer Relations for doing this and should be pointing the blame on those who did the wrong. ROBLOX is doing something to make the award even and fair. Seeing the hate ROBLOX Developer Relations is unbelievable and wrong, it’s not their fault!
In my opinion, this was a sad decision to make, but a good turn in the right direction. It was a sacrifice and no one except the people who was dishonest should be blamed. I highly respect ROBLOX for making this hard decision and I hope to see everyone who EARNED the crown gets it.
My only question is, will the crowns be removed from those who had been dishonest or faked everything? If so, how?
This is long overdue. I am quite tired of people constantly begging for me to give them “a free developer crown”.
It would be nice if you would also take action against star creators/other youtubers that are doing “crown givaways” where they promote experiences constantly until their developers get a certain crown.
I HEVALY AGREE ON THIS, I’ve seen so many of them do this, Roblox hasn’t at all been taking action to them earthier because their bias or haven’t caught wind ( Which I doubt )
They should be punished for promoting this type of stuff.
Truest thing ever! People like ‘HelloItsVG’, ‘SharkBLOX’, ‘NubNoMinion’, and ‘Demon Clan’ should be punished heavily by ROBLOX. Promoting schemes like this is highly irresponsible and wrong. Coming from a Star Creator who is endorsed by ROBLOX, they should know better. ROBLOX should pin the Star Creators and not just the players in this mess.
