No, this is not direspectful at all. OP here is not stealing the creation of Elttob but rather, just posting an alternative that is inspired from Elttob’s creation. If you think that it is direspectful then you are indirectly saying that most plugins on Roblox are simply disrespectful, no matter if they are paid or free.
no, the creation itself wasn’t stolen, that is not what i said. I deliberately said that the concept of it was stolen and recreated.
If you think that it is disrespectful then you are indirectly saying that most plugins on Roblox are simply disrespectful, no matter if they are paid or free.
that is not correct, I think it’s disrespectful to recreate this plugin / make an alternative to it when it isn’t superior to it’s counterpart. especially considering that the original is paid.
If you can’t pay for the plugin, for whatever reason, Elttob is literally promising that you’ll still be able to get it some way. Please, if you’re unable to buy the proper plugin, fill it out instead of making ripoffs.
I’ve checked the plugin for copied code by the way. There doesn’t seem to be anything infringing, or really much of anything at all. Not even undo support or even support for moving the camera. But it’s at least something that someone legitimately built, though it’s hard to speak to whether it’s been tested that much or whether there’s any real commitment to this other than to “undermine” what I created.
Which - okay yes, let’s talk about that. This is disrespectful. Incredibly so. In economics parlance, this is known as “predatory pricing” and it’s a tactic used to offensively drive others out of business. It involves selling - or even giving away stuff - below cost. I’d point you to the example of Amazon getting Diapers.com shut down by massively undercutting them to an unsustainable degree.
That’s exactly what this is, and we should not normalise this in our culture. If people want to have tools to work with at all, then it’s time to cut this sort of behaviour out, because you will drive everyone away. Be inspired if you’d like. Go forth and make whatever tools you please. But don’t do it with a gun pointed at somebody. That’s more than a dick move - that’s selling everyone else’s future for your immediate gain.
Anyway, if anyone does want an actual free version of my plugin, then Access Anywhere is here. As a bonus, you’ll actually be helping to unlock the Creator Store for more people, rather than putting others down.
So if there’s a bunch of bots or spam, then they can be filtered out, and generally I can clean up the distribution so the software can be distributed as fairly as possible.
If this succeeds I’ll likely turn this into a proper pipeline and give it away to other creators, because it’s a really good idea in my mind too. These people can’t pay you anyway, and even if they could, they’re probably from someplace where the economics look more difficult. So better to build goodwill than to try and maximise profit extraction like some soulless corporate machine.
I kind of agree and disagree with your take on this.
If he had simply posted this for what it is (and described what it does, which I’m still not even sure what his or yours does) then I think it would be valid and fair since he was able to create the code independently. If the product is inferior to yours, then there is still value in your product.
However, the way he has presented this is just wrong and despicable. Your name/product is referenced many times . He couldn’t even be bothered to describe what it does other than you say it does what yours does!
this is roblox its a wild west most games are stolen, either from other games on the platform or from other games outside of roblox its self, AND THEY ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES FOR EACH, many other games outside of the platform cost money so on roblox you can just play the spin off why is this disrespectful thing or whatever now a problem. pretty sure bro didnt even mean it like that
