In my opinion this change should NOT apply to Roblox made items, especially for all of the classic games using Roblox made gears, hats, packages from over the past two decades.

It feels almost as if Roblox is just actively trying to harm their own developers, creators, and consumers and is likewise scaring off anyone who even wants to break onto the platform anyways. The old systems worked perfectly fine and few complained, so why bother reinventing the wheel?

For real. This is the biggest problem as it has gone from just affecting newer catalog games to basically every Roblox game made since 2007. For something thatās supposed to make the marketplace āfairā Iām really not sure why they applied it to their own items which thwy arenāt even making anymore and historically have let people use in their games.

There is power in masses. I have 2k players, small dent in the platform? How about anyone else. The funniest thing is, they will take this message down for āspamā. Our feedback, is to remove this feature and admit that they were wrong. Truly disappointed in roblox. This will ruin so many games its not even funny.

I never ratio on devforum but I have to do it for a simple reason that Iām scared of this update.
Also it looks like people from Roblox Staff donāt know what Roblox is, they donāt know the other updates and they dare to force every accessories to go limited but also no limited can be shown in-game. What the hell is in their mind?

I refuse to update my games over this, I never thought you guys would make a update worse than the Audio Update but youāve proved me wrong.

Actually, I think this might be the end for me. I absolutely love Roblox fashion. I was so excited for the new UGCāsee my avatar, itās completely decked out in a UGC body, UGC clothes, UGC makeup, UGC hairā¦ Iāve been on the platform since 2008, and Iāve been through every era of Roblox fashion since.
The one thing Roblox has been so powerful for me was user expressionā¦ but now Iām going to be punished for giving my players the ability to do that. I have to go through my admin system and ensure players cannot use accessories they donāt own. I have to go through my custom-made catalog and revise every single item within it. I have to go through my mannequins and remove simple, taken-for-granted items.
Godot receives another wave of disillusioned developers for the second time in a week. Woohoo!

Nearly every single experience on Roblox uses items from the catalog. This will actually destroy the platform if these changes arenāt reverted.

roblox is really just speedrunning getting their platform destroyed now huh
why is it that hard to just listen to what your community wants and also not make changes like this to roblox-made items, considering a large majority of games including older ones use them.

What is the deal here?
Is Roblox Corporation under immense threat from some copyright conglomerate similar to National Music Publisherās Association? Are the shareholders just REALLY desperate to get some extra cash in their pocket right now?
Why is this on such short notice? There are so many bits of this that negatively affect my game and othersā games, I donāt even know where to begin.
- Off-sale items being imported will make a game subject to being removed.
- Games can now be thrown into the moderation wringer for erroneous copyright claims.
- Games which rely on importing accessories (and in bulk) will now have to contend with AvatarEditorService (for ownership checking, price, and other details) which allows a maximum of 100 calls PER GAME PER SECOND, regardless of player count.
- Forced extra UI clutter on a large scale in many games
Can we get some transparency on why this is so sudden and what will be happening in these cases? Will off-sale item importing being banned be reverted? Will the deadline be extended or is this sudden shift exactly where weāre staying? Will the avatar service have boosted capacity for higher player count games or are larger games screwed here?

ā¦ the silence is deafening.
Roleplay games be dammed, and try-on games be screwed.
all they have to do is just answer two simple questions
- do players have to buy the item to use it or not?
- do we have to :promptPurchaseUI (whatever itās called ) for every insertion, or can we just show a little UI prompt we made in a corner or somewhere on a list?
