At this rate who knows what’s next to sunset
For real. I probably spend less time on Roblox now-a-days and more time with my girlfriend. Roblox has been making changes that I honestly cannot stick around for. I’m losing my interest in something that’s given my life substance in the last 12 years. I hate it. I’m losing the thing I loved most.
I was looking forward to joining the Accelerator Program later on. It’s truly a sad thing to see that the program has been winded down.
On the bright side, I am loving how the diverse groups are growing on Roblox! Being a part of the Roblox Creator Events Program (Event Organizer Program) as well as Community Feedback Program, I am very excited to work alongside amazing creators and with DevRel’s assist, I can already see things reaching the stars 
Good luck developers!

unlike other programs, i believe this one was a insane value for any students, Roblox would invest on your project and (numerous?) college approving it as a actual internship.
i suppose the extremely low success rate of the teams is one of the major reasons it concluded.
plus,
to sum it up, 14k usd * 2-5 user * around 10 teams * 3 times a year
my guess is that, to the higher ups, this seemed to be the most nonsense and guaranteed loss in Roblox

What about developers who wish to work from the ground up, that currently work in small teams eager to expand their scope and influence on the platform?
Really unfortunate to see the end of the accelerator program.
I like this change. I think that roblox should focus on helping all creators become successful rather than focusing on helping a select few. I think RDC should be sunset for the same reason. There should be a Massive Roblox event IRL that is held for anyone who wants to come.
Speaking from Australia, this program was basically impossible to join for the last three years and thus closed a rather prime opportunity for Oceanic developers to get knowledge and break into the market. I’m sure everyone supports the existence of this program, but it was really unfair dealing with the fact that it was almost entirely domestic for two years, that many developers on the program got advantages that were difficult to compete with, and that when it switched to online not only was it diminutive on the experience, it also barred out many eastern countries from access to the program.
Overall, I think with these changes I trust the teams behind the program to find more creative and willing methods to invest into developers internationally. It’s unfortunate to see this space of anxiety created where we’re all biding our time wondering where many of the people that run this program are heading to. Where these lost resources are going to be brought back to developers. I wish the announcement was released in tandem with a new program or feature. Because it leaves a rather bittersweet taste for the mouth.
We actually had more international participants than ever before since 2020. We had an Australian developer in Spring 2020! Other countries that participated for the first time were Sweden, South Korea, Brazil, Portugal, Romania, Uruguay, Serbia, Philippines, Slovakia, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, and China.

It did helped so well we were able to get in twice. 🥹
I think you forgot to mention Vietnam, any internal participants from Vietnam RoughSphereBlox
4slug is a cool guy I’ve meet. He’s friends with adurize.
This really breaks my heart, but I’m sure it was a heavily discussed decision and there will be more opportunities for local collaboration in the future
