The audio update. I initially thought that after that update that roblox would think twice about releasing cataclysmic updates like that, guess not.

Heck some of roblox staff are also confused on why this update is announced and being considered at all.

I honestly canât be mad at them for the audio âupdate.â Sure, it destroyed many experiencesâ soundtracks, but they kinda had to implement it. They couldâve rolled it out better though.

I agree!
The past Robloxâs updates that were called the worst were actually reasonable.
For example in this case Robloxâs was trying to get rid of copyrighted soundtracks that were stolen by Roblox. They just were trying to save themselves.
In this case Roblox seems to be trying to license their own and the assets of other players. Now I sadly canât find anything that could legally stop Roblox from doing this.
But my thoughts are that Roblox wonât be able to control this policy. I mean they arenât always capable to ban a game that says in the title: GET FREE ROBLOX REWARDS HERE!! DIFINETLY APPROVED BY ROBLOX!!!
I think if smaller games will keep using Robloxâs assets for avatar customization they wonât even notice.
The lack of Moderation of Roblox is a terrible topic⌠

Sounds to me like the whole idea was done by corporate investment managers who have never played a video game (roblox or otherwise) in their life, to me. I said it back then (irl, not on the old forums I think, even if those were still accessible) that devex will be a mistake long term and now look where we are. Theyâve gone public and started making decisions that make no sense to anyone other than the people making the decisions, presumably for a quick buck (but in this case, I canât even see that from their perspective)

Even people who have never played Roblox should know that if your stock price dips after you merely announce an update, itâs not great for your company. In other words, theyâre either looking the other way or are just stupid.

Is this still going into effect after the 27th?

Currently, no, but I and other developers have a feeling that they will still try to make these policy changes at a later date, when they think that weâve all forgotten about this topic.

I know. but the thing is they knew about the copyright issues since 2018 (they added a system back in 2018 that flags copyrighted audio) and i was thinking they were gonna improve on it in the long run. But no they didnât and they had to resort on basically destroying 90% of the audio library, ruining games and crippling not only developers but normal players aswell. Not to mention how the audio update had bugs on launch which made things even worse.

How would this affect games that use old roblox assets? Im pretty sure mm2 uses the roblox revolver model, which is offsale now. Would that be banned entirely??

Yes, it would. @AlteFore has made a list in an earlier post showing what games are going to get closed or put under review because of this update.

If the proposed problem is âUGC Creators not being compensated for their workâ, then itâs very unusual to see Roblox tackle this as a policy issue, rather than a functionality issue. People already canât use user-made models/meshes from the library that arenât already in their inventory, so why introduce a policy-based solution.
Even assuming that resolving the problem is an absolute must (something which many have already disagreed), this is a strangely out-of-character move for a business like Roblox. The objective of Roblox as a platform is to make game development easy and accessible to inexperienced users, itâs part of the sell that anyone can make a game.
The only policies thus in place are ones that programmatically preventing would be mean massively restricting development possibilities (explicit content, etc). This is a case where something that could be implemented as a function (basically just porting the same rules from the library to the catalogue) is being instead tackled through a policy update? Feels weird and makes me wonder if this was cooked up by someone not fully familiar with Robloxâs design philosophy, or well I hope, since if this is the new design philosophy, the future isnât too bright for new developers (or existing ones).
I suppose this somewhat resembles the policy on custom chat filtering, but feels more far-reaching and misplaced since itâs an inherently different functionality as compared with just running a string through a function and printing the result. Only advanced developers will ever be looking to implement a custom chat filter anyway, while morphs are probably the most popular type of model in the library for newer users.

Roblox stopped with the metaverse thing which thats thats what the rthros were actually for. They made more rthros to simulate the âmetaverseâ and it really got us angry so they stopped. Im am 99% sure that they wont make more⌠the other 1% is that percent that will never get near to its way of actually occurring.
But your not wrong with roblox saying its normal. It starts getting me the facebook avatar vibes. Uugh, get it off my head. But still, theirs no way for them to change their mind.
