My brain is either deciding to put this update in a B or A tier for the worst Roblox updates ever.
So many games are going to get ruined due to this enforced policy change now the real question is who in the heck approved this in the first place. This policy change or update if you want to call it either is basically equivalent to Youtube removing dislikes to protect creators âmental healthâ but in reality, theyâre removing an important factor of feedback, and this post doesnât even include âWe will listen to feedbackâ or anything related to feedback.
Theyâre basically just silencing us because you find this when you open up the FAQ:
What happens to violating experiences and developers?
- Developers who violate this policy are subject to moderation as they would be for any other violation of the Community Standards. This may include warnings, removal of your experience from the platform or suspension of your account.
And it gets even worse because if our âexperiencesâ are violating this policy we have to change it in a WHOLE week just a WEEK.
This policy change is hurting the platform more than benefiting it this policy change is absolutely stupid at least try to reconsider this Roblox.
Look at what theyâre planning to do with UGC too even:
The DEATH Of Robloxâs Marketplace & Economy⌠SaveUGC! - YouTube
I really thought Roblox was going in a pretty good direction but we the community WE creators just got a bunch of crap handed to us right here.
You donât have to be THIS out of touch with your community Roblox.

As stated earlier Iâm concerned about what this means for games dedicated to trying on items given that Robloxâs built in try on mechanic is lackluster and often broken, but I would like to add that it makes sense to limit how much games can just let people use stuff thatâs meant to be sold for free. Itâs kinda like the past issues with people basically stealing offsale audio for use in their games, and if I made some rare and expensive accessory, I wouldnât wanna see every player in every roleplay game wearing it especially if the maker of the game doesnât even own it, since it would diminish the value.
But applying it to classic Roblox-made items and giving everyone one week to make changes, when it seems a ton of devs literally have midterms???

This post seems very poorly written and I canât help but to think that there has been things left out of it.
From this alone, I assumed* that these games must have the ability to try on the items for these changes to matter. Ok, sure, this alone isnât as awful as it sounds⌠until you read the rest of the post, or realize that Roblox had announced at RDC pushing for all UGC items to have âlimited quantityâ or to pay to âstockâ your items.
So, in the long run, this doesnât make sense. All items at some point would be âzero-quantityâ or âonly for resaleâ. I am going to ignore this fact for the rest of this post
Then, we have this, which again sounds okay. We should have a thing where we could give permission to groups, people, etc. to use our items in game. That would be a cool update and something I think a lot of creators would appreciate. However, thatâs not what youâre giving us. Instead, weâre told this:
I need to have my account moderated BEFORE I can show you proof of an agreement between a creator and I? Then I need to appeal that moderation, which could take days to hear back at that point, hopefully get the issue resolved, and possibly miss out on revenue earned for both I and the item creator? How does that make any sense? Would it not be better to implement a system PRIOR to this, to let creators link a game or check a box to let their items be sold in a specific game?
Thereâs a ton of information missing from this post. Will all games be required to check if a person owns the items they are wearing in game? Even if these games arenât selling creator items in game? What about roleplaying games with hats or faces that you can touch to wear purely for roleplaying purposes? There is so much we donât know. This is an awful post and this all couldâve been avoided if you spoke and listened to your developers. We are willing to talk, listen, find a middle ground.
**This could be extended to more games. This could be for any game that allows for a hat or item to be put onto your character that you do not own. ie: you use an admin command in a âdrive through a noob to get free adminâ game to put on a hat you do not own and is off-sale.

So, what about games that use UGC items for NPCS or objects. As in the actual player doesnât wear it but maybe an NPC wears it, or itâs simply used as an object in the game. They should be fine right? Like I understand IP and what not but at the end of the day for UGC creators it comes down to sales. Their items being in games will do nothing but only boost sales especially if they are at least credited.
UGC items arenât like music, if someone can play a song for free on some platform then they wonât pay a subscription to play it. Once a player leaves an experience itâs not like they will be able to wear the item out of it. If they like the item and want to continue wearing it, they will have to obtain it by buying it so that they can wear it in almost EVERY game and not just 1 specific game. Ik that there is original content in the UGC catalog, but a lot of things are created from or inspired by games, memes, and other Roblox created items. It wouldnât even be wise for some UGC creators to DCMA someoneâs game when their item itself was inspired or based on something they never created.

This update is bad, simply put. Forcing these insane regulations will ruin a lot of games relying on the avatar creation system. Heck, games like Avatar Maker are needed just because the website doesnât have a very good avatar creator, so this will definitely be a slap in the face to those people. I donât even think the people whose IPs youâre trying to protect would even agree with this.
So hereâs a theme for you, since you guys want to act like clowns.

People said that the audio update would be the worst to come from Roblox. Apparently youâre able to fall even further.
This could ban games that devs canât access, this could wipe majority of old games. Alot of un-updated but still played games are going to get deleted. Personally, Iâm just too lazy to remove them. Iâd understand if this only applied to just UGC items if the original creators filed a report or something, but this is every item ever.
Bad update. Bad bad no good. Rethink.

So every time a player wears any item in a roleplay game/etc. you have to force a prompt purchase on the screen, taking away from the immersion, and consuming time, as those prompts are never instant to appear. Might as well bring back the full screen, un-skippable ads show up whenever a player tries to join any game

I actually think it is less then 50% it might be ~20% or 25% but thatâs a good chunk of their creators just getting killed.

Why canât we use Robloxâs items? It seems to me that this policy change will kill a lot of classic games, and I canât think of a great reason for this specifically (unless Roblox doesnât own the items they themselves have uploaded)?

Iâm a co-owner of a fashion game. I now have to remove the majority of items from my game because theyâre offsale items. I love it⌠not.
