I think Roblox could have some sort of community report system (that is community driven) where users can score a game by measuring certain things such as quality of content, child safety, fair pricing, developer transparency, monetization, and originality (meaning it isn’t a copy-paste). Games with low enough scores are then reviewed by moderators; if they categorize a game as clickbait or find that you are a dishonest developer, your game gets a certain amount of warnings before removal. Duplicate/copied/stolen games are removed and the owners suspended for a time.
I could be wrong, but this sounds like a fair system to me
I make my art with sketchpad.io. It is free, online, and actually pretty fine! You can make high quality ads on there pretty fast, they have a lot of fonts and things to choose from.
The statement you made: “snatch money out of children’s pockets” I find quite incorrect… It isnt a scam game… If you are referring to Simulators and tycoons of course. But there are very real scam games but I am not talking about those. Anyways, it is the players choice if they want to spend there money on games. Sure there are games that are made for profit but I think it does not sit well if you generalize all games that are pay to win.
Yeah, I kinda regret the way I said it. I guess I put opinion into that statement so much. My bad! You are right, it is the child’s choice to spend the money. But some games are pay to win, which is what I meant by that statement. I’ve played tons of simulators and tycoons that were pay to win, and took hours to finish without gamepasses or boosts. There are very few simulators that are good. Like Bee simulator.
There is also a huge problem with people doing this ad format where they take a picture of a fake profile of a popular figure and have them say in there feed in one way or another to go join their group and play their game. Like if they were an army rp, they would say “The army needs you!” in the feed.
Despite this being very obviously fake, because
Why would any popular figure say to join some roblox group
The Editing looks bad
And other reasons,
but it might still get some naive people AND it is just really annoying seeing it, which the latter is what happens for me.
I just want roblox to detect this format and ban it, and make terms of service against saying something in someone else’s name. I want to call it slander, but technically they are not making those people look bad, but I don’t think you should be putting words in people’s mouths regardless, and I think that these bad ads should be seen as false / misleading advertising and banned.
For advertisements, a method you could do for advertising is getting a small-medium (1k-50K+ subs) sized youtubers to review, and play your game. Target youtubers who play games in your genre, since their audience are more likely to be interested. Though regular ads/game sponsors are always a good option too!
Though don’t go up to them and annoy them. Politely ask, maybe promise ingame items.
