Important Updates: Unrated Experiences and Changes to Experience Pages

[MightyDantheman (Fate)]

If a game is unrated you can not play it, hence if a old game is unrated you can not play it.

I think everyone understands this, and this is why everyone is against it. Also, Roblox has stated the following:

We will address handling historic and abandoned legacy experiences as needed.

These games were not going to last forever, roblox constantly updates their API and removes old features. After a while the games won’t be playable because of how old they are.

While technically true, Roblox has—for the most part—kept support for legacy experiences and code. Roblox rarely outright removes API, but rather only deprecates it. The only update to truly harm legacy experiences was the FilteringEnabled update that broke basically every experience before it, that haven’t been updated for this change. However, this update was also absolutely required for Roblox to continue to succeed and for safety.

This is all to say that Roblox still values legacy support, as does its older community. Roblox will keep certain legacy experiences playable, based on community engagement and metrics. However, the community would like all legacy experiences—at least the ones not supported by Roblox—to be limited to 17+ rather than available to nobody at all.

(I still wish Roblox would change all 17+ labels to 18+.)

Preserving Classic Roblox Experiences

We understand that many classic experiences are no longer actively maintained, and we want to help keep these popular classics available for players to enjoy. As part of our commitment to legacy content on Roblox we will identify notable experiences from creators who are no longer active on Roblox, and ensure they have content maturity labels. These experiences will be selected based on factors like:

• Lifetime visits & engagement
• Recent visits & engagement
• Experiences you have marked as favorites

If there is an experience that you want to remain public, simply play or favorite that experience. This will provide us with signals on where to focus our efforts. We will provide regular updates on our progress to preserve classic Roblox content.
