@ the conversation above, I posted this is the Live-Op Events thread the OP is referring to. Refocusing dev rel’s objectives going forwards benefits developers with more features, which directly benefits the players. The recent improvements to the Studio camera, shadowmaps, and the dozen or so fairly significant updates coming this year alone is because of this refocusing. You can’t have dev rel managing event teams (which are short lived) and being communication bridges to other departments (which is long-lived).

Please put feedback on replacing events with LiveOps in the correct thread.
Seems like featured games but just with extra steps…

And with less requirements . You have to be top 250 to be eligible for being featured last I heard :c
Alright i think i was not thinking about that thanks for the head up, i just needed a full understanding about this!!
Yeah, no… I’m not going to name any, but I’ve seen “Featured Hogs” who only survive off of the Featured section. I’ve also seen many games much much worse than what you would find on popular

It almost similar to how Club Penguin used to give Non Membership Players free Items after finishing the event and being rewarded a Prize.
I also think Rthro Events like Nike, NFL Super Bowl LIII, WrestleManina are going to be used for the new op events to keep new users thriving since Rthro Packages come with the whole pack like Hats,Limbs,Face, or anything related etc.
before that you used to have to constantly collect the whole item one by one but with Rthro Packages it includes the whole thing since if the items are apart of the body than it makes everything easier.
but at the same time both Ops and Seasonal/Monthly Events would be appreciated👍

I’ve submitted an application for a date in July. I’m wondering what the timeline is like for devrel to let an applicant know they’ve been accepted or not?
Hey, What do I do if I submit a request, but don’t get a reply before the date? Do I just host the event, or do I wait? Just Curious.

Can I reserve myself a Live-Ops spot even though my game is not done yet? So I can actually get it done 2 weeks before Live-Ops end.
The events where worth it. Mostly because it will increase the rate of players in your game, after the players come to your game, they will hopefully see how good your game is, then play it.
Hope I helped. 
No you really didn’t, sorry.
There is still nothing special about LiveOps and the player boost you get may as well be only temporary if you don’t have appropriate retention strategies applied - even then, the playerbase you earned isn’t guaranteed to stick.
LiveOps doesn’t differ from the promotional strategies already offered that aren’t staff run, such as sponsored games and ads. Your game is just put on a page in the sidebar, that’s all.
Roblox left a very special part of the community behind for a glorified version of Featured Games (a page dedicated to displaying LiveOps promotions).
I still don’t see the point of using it.

I do not think there is a point of liveops, but there was a point of EVENTS.

…yes, that’s what I said.
Events and LiveOps are two different things despite it trying to be shoved to us that they are the same and an adequate replacement for events.
My point is that I don’t see the benefits of LiveOps when other options are readily available for you to use to attract a playerbase.

Oh I thought they were basically the same thing. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Ah, sounds like a good opportunity for some games. @AwesomelyDeveloper, your game sounds good enough to part in this. Might wanna part in it after you finish things up a bit.

I’m curious to see the stats for these games after the liveops event is over. That way we can see if any of those players stuck around.
I’m even more curious to see how these games will perform in the coming months. I wonder if the amount of people who click the liveops page will go down?
As for the application process, I don’t think it’s fair that some games get to be featured for a week while later down the line this is potentially changing to a day. What if I submit a game in the future thinking it’ll be up for a week but then by the time I’m accepted I only get a day? I would feel like I was stabbed in the back.

Did the date for your game already happen? If so, did you get a reply after that date, or if you got a reply before your event started, how long did it take for you to receive a response after you submitted your game? I submitted my game a few weeks ago with my event taking place in late June and have not received a response yet.
