Is there going to be an incident report for this?

Having a one-week deadline is extremely overkill. I donât think we will ever do that in our large-scale games. And yet, this policy is restricting our freedom and we really donât like it. So please reconsider the way you decidedâŠ

Ok now that Iâve had a moment to digest the cesspit I was unfortunate enough to be greeted by when I opened this tab:
What? Genuinely⊠what? I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say we want an explanation - a detailed one - as to how in the fresh hell we are expected to adjust to and then comply with these policy changes without ruining user experience in games by flooding them with a million purchase prompts, or as to how you reasonably expect game devs to switch out entire item pools of Roblox hats or rextextures of them in just one week. A single week.
Who greenlit this? Why was this quite clearly not run by anybody except for the people in the top positions at roblox? You wouldnât take community feedback anyway but Iâm absolutely certain most of your own staff would immediately recognise how much of a god awful idea this is.
This needs a full u-turn or at the very least major clarification ASAP. Youâve done enough over recent years to make life far more tedious for devs than it should be - weâre already dancing around a minefield of vague and usually really unnecessary restrictions and do not need the final nail in the coffin that is this ridiculous update.

this update actually inspires me to learn krita and improve my modelling to make my own assets

I Might move to there too if Roblox continues with those random policy changes and doesnât even give us a reasonable time to change our games

This is ridiculous. How do you expect us to use AvatarEditorService to comply with this when the ratelimits on the service are 100 requests per second across the entire experience?

Yea, regarding if this also applies to ROBLOX made assets from the marketplaceâŠ
so all of the games I made from 2015 to the present that use official ROBLOX assets because I didnât want to use free models, meshes, and textures from other people are going to be taken down because you guys decided to introduce an unwanted and greedy update nobody wanted ever. You didnât even ask the community for feedback and are just making another terrible change to the platform.
Is this another act of you guys desperately trying to phase out classic-era ROBLOX in favor of the newer âwaah wahh metaverse!â stuff you are trying to push upon a community mostly consisting of people who donât even know what it is?
This is the last straw; I am done trying to develop on this platform, and so are some people on my development team. Congratulations, ROBLOX!

This is worse than the removal of tix.
This is worse than the audio wipe.
A ton of classic games use gears. Small developers count on a lot of these to get themselves going. Without these resources I never would have been able to start developing games.
This change threatens hundreds of hours of work and some games that Iâve poured my heart and soul into just because they include gears, 2d faces, or off sale items. No chance I can fix this in a week. This is cruel and wrong. Revert it and do better.

I use 2D Roblox faces all the time for my custom in-game skin system all the time, because it works out best and now you are gonna be cracking down on that, what is so harmful in me doing that?

I am extremely confused by the wording of this policy update. Can you please clarify if this is only pertaining to equippable assets/gears/etc or if this means ANY offsale asset cannot be used in ANY PART of the game? For example if I have a statue of my own Roblox avatar in a game I own, would this no longer be allowed since I have offsale items on my avatar?
Really need clear clarification on how to abide by these terms and quickly, as youâve only given us a WEEK to comply.

This is going to ruin a LARGE chunk of games.
Cosmetic Try-on games? Gone.
ROBLOX Gear based fighting games? Gone.
Role-play games with in-game outfit editing? Gone.
Roblox. Youâre shooting yourself in the foot again. At this point, youâve shot yourself in the foot so many times that itâs made a big enough hole for the bullet to pass through and start burrowing into the ground, as it probably already has.

Atleast the removal of Tix or the Audio Update had some, legitimate reasons behind them.
I struggle to find any group that benefits from this update, however. This will hurt everyone, Roblox themselves included.

Just putting this out there, anyone is free to use any of my items with or without attribution for any reason. Just donât claim you made it and weâre good. Feel free to use this post as evidence that you are allowed to use the assets.
