Exploit Prevention Update

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is absolutely hilarious, but the fun days of watching script kiddies get in futile fights and ddos eachother over their precious scripts are over. How entertaining it was.

YES! YES! YES!
FINALLY!!! IT’S HAPPENING!!!

It’s about time that the ones cracking Roblox’s shell finally realize that it’s better to be white hat than black hat.

This is the collab of the century. Rest assured, I’m certain that this collaboration will guarantee bulletproof exploit protection coming forward. This is a massive step in the right direction for exploit-proofing the platform.

Way to go, for even negotiating with the opposite side. I never thought this day would come.

tom and jerry resoultion, but for real this was very unexpected how the turn tables!

roblox is doing that job for you so you don’t have to pay script kiddies to 'sploit proof your game.
roblox IS 'sploit proofing your game. for free. doesn’t that sound better than to take money out of your own pocket to pay for someone who, ideally will probably show the exploits that are really important to a group of friends or even a forum of other hackers?

it’s a bad idea in general to bring exploiters into the development of a game. sure, you get to patch exploits, but why don’t you let roblox do that for you?

Completely disagree, would be a massive data protection violation and there wouldn’t be a way to determine “who hacked for long periods of time” - developers used this as a tool to pentest their games. Giving this type of data to Roblox would be dangerous to say the least, especially if they acted upon it.

this is a hilarious partnership. But this is just going to leave a void for others exploit programs to fill.

This isn’t protecting the games at all. In fact, it’s doing the complete opposite. The only thing they’re doing is setting a precedent that people don’t need to secure their games. No matter what they’ll be exploits and by making announcements like this without much thought some people are bound to not secure their games as well. Overall, Roblox shouldn’t of made a announcement at all about this and just did this in secret.

TLDR: Roblox isn’t going to fully patch anything so there’s no reason to sit by idlily waiting for no reason.

Biggest plot-twist in the history of ROBLOX, but I believe this just goes to show that they still care about their platform.

Great step in the right direction!

as the old saying goes: if you can’t beat em, join em

And you think this would have had a better response?

I disagree with you, how does this set a precedent that people shouldn’t secure their games? Any half-decent programmer knows the basics on how to secure their scripts to prevent abuse.

If Roblox had stated “don’t worry about exploiting anymore guys!” then yes, you’d have a point, but they simply didn’t. Their goal is to majorly crush exploiting, they specific wording is “to take another step towards this goal”. They never said it was completely fulfilled, and exploiting was stopped.

The only circumstance in which people would believe that ‘exploiting is gone’ is if they failed to properly read the post and failed to use common sense.

Truly one of the biggest anime plot twists of all time.
And a welcome one, at that.

Roblox didn’t just come in and say “Hey, you don’t have to secure your games anymore!”, nor did they even do anything to imply that. All they said is that they now have ex-exploit creators working with them. This is no different to them announcing the Byfron anti-cheat, plus everyone would’ve found out anyway with Synapse just randomly dying.

And sure, some people (one of them seems to be the person you’re replying to lol) will think they don’t need to try and secure their games anymore, especially now that a bunch of well-known exploits are being abandoned. But when their games fall to exploiters in the future, they’ll only have themselves to blame. There’s no reason to argue with those who don’t ever want to learn like that.

You really should not hold Roblox responsible for other peoples stupidity like this. And I’m one of those people who could criticize this company for weeks straight (ESPECIALLY RECENTLY), yet even I know that this isn’t their fault, not at all. Announcing this was pretty good IMO, it made some other well-known exploits close their doors as well.

they actually recognized Synapse, nice!

Finally, it’s over. After years of working on an in-game anti-cheat project, my journey has come to an end. And uhh… I’m feeling a bit shocked and somewhat going madness by this announcement too eyesshaking

However, now that they’ve been bought by ROBLOX, I’m not sure if it’s worth it or not.
I’m still aware that they might have something going on behind the scenes because the message itself seems a bit peculiar to me. squint

I hope nothing bad is happening to the platform…

Awesome news!
This things will be changing the roblox!

crazy, despite the fact that 3dsboy is gonna get sued for breach of contract (giving out user data), this is a good thing for roblox’s anticheat, definitely would help with new developers who dont know how to make secure scripts or anticheats

The owner of synapse also made an Linux port for roblox with basically no issues, which an entire team couldn’t do that, so don’t know what you rambling about
