Just read all this. And I agree! If their going to do a copyright policy on us. Why not exactly do a copyright policy on ugc items and not us game developers. Because it actually dosent make any sense to just formaly take away our rights to use accesories from the catalog when no such ugc creator ever cares about their ugc items in someone’s game.

Either way ugc moderation sucks. It dosnt make sense to add more moderation to something their bad at and not very formally with. So I really think this policy is just crazy. They should qualify new staff that actually played roblox and not chatgpt policies. I agree with ya!

so real though, i bet with the next update they’re gonna ban everyone who still uses r6 and r15 instead of their disgusting rthro creatures

Nah, they’re gonna convert anyone wearing R6 to R15, and maybe, just maybe, turn everyone wearing the 1.0 body types into those NeoClassic avatars very few people like.

All of this, yet there is a MASSIVE lawsuit just waiting to happen with the mess the UGC catalog is currently.
You guys know it, you’ve dealt with these things before, but it seems like it’s only a “must fix” problem when you get called out with legal threats.
Meanwhile the money keeps rolling in for all those copyrighted assets…
Other Companies won’t be kind a second or third time, they will destroy you legally, and your neglect will be the cause.
In exchange, the community will receive a hard restriction on all ends, just like the audio update, because you couldn’t work well enough in time and prevent a mess.

Personally, I’m all for it. Anything to knock some sense into this stupid company.

I personally don’t think anything’s going to change unless Roblox has a change of leadership.

Did they really just take the mesh of Mario and Bowser from Mario 64 directly from the files or something? Screw that 1-Up Mushroom-looking backpack I showed in an earlier post, this is even more worthy of a lawsuit! If Roblox doesn’t take action against this, UGC is DONE FOR. And if Roblox goes forward with this update (which by then UGC won’t even be a thing anymore, if Roblox gets sued anyway), that only means we can’t use Roblox’s items, making the whole point of this update (to protect UGC creator’s rights), completely worthless!

Sooner or later this was bound to happen with UGC. I was initially optimistic for this program but people have demonstrated that it clearly was a mistake, and now ROBLOX is profitting off of blatant copyright infringement. This will come back to bite them, likely with a fat lawsuit, and when ROBLOX inevitably gets dommed by a giant corporation like Nintendo, they’ll probably just remove all user-generated catalog items from the platform.
ROBLOX. Powering Imagination, until we get sued and then ban anything imaginative because we can’t moderate our [content deleted] platform.

Probably they rename them and model them bad enough to claim protection under copyright law as “fair use” as a parody.

And then we’re probably going to get a video from greenlegocats123 titled “RIP ROBLOX UGC (again)”. Twitter and Instagram are both going to go crazy over this the moment the removal of UGC is announced. Commentary and News YouTubers are going to make bank too. Gone will be the hair combos, shoulder pals, and auras from the Marketplace. Gone will be the masks, visors, and outlines that allowed you to be something you normally could not be. Gone will be the layered clothing tailored for a certain avatar type. But then again, gone will be the knock-off limiteds, copyrighted content, and low effort accessories that have plagued the program since its inception.

I mean, first off making all UGC limited is kinda a bad idea, since it might limit people from being able to buy stuff for their avatars, if the creator of an item decides to just never replenish the stock.
And also not being able to use items which are offsale, or having to constantly have a purchase button kinda sucks, as literally hundreds, if not thousands of games will be affected, and for some it will ruin the atmosphere.

It actually appears so and I initially thought this was ripped from the actual ROM file however this might be an actual re-creation since Imo it feels “off”.
Either way I think I proved my point with this, if ROBLOX expects us to be reported they better moderate their platform first.

‘now is the time to set things right
(Now!) now is the time we should unite!’
In all seriousness, this is horrible. I’m glad people are setting their differences aside to talk about this. Going through with this change will ruin the platform for the worse.

That’s just ingenious. Making a 1:1 recreation of something from a game that happened to be made in the advent of 3D gaming. It looks so unpolished that it could actually fall under fair use in a way because of parody!
That lawsuit is coming any day now. I can just FEEL it.

A lawsuit will either be the best thing that ever happened to UGC or the last thing that ever happened to UGC. Either way, the catalog will see some improvement if this happens.
