Sorry to be rude but are you saying it would take a group of developers about 1 week to recieve thier robux and then another week to distribute it amongst themselves and another week to DevEx it? Like this most developers will be ruined. Are you saying you support this act of roblox to make the life of developers on roblox more harder and also this attempt by roblox to chase away Developers from them?
Well, anyways what can we do? We are already using their services for free. So it is their rules we have to follow and we have no choice and just accept it. Unless you are going to pay and run servers and datastores by yourself independently off Roblox, we just have to follow whatever rules they implement. We can leave but I do not think that most of us have better options after leaving Roblox. We are in their territory, we have to follow their rules.
This is outrageous, I just got information, that you guys are also planning on adding a functionality, where a moderator must determine if a group is edible for group payouts, otherwise you guys are going to disable payouts for that certain group. This is crazy, there is a API for it and everything, this is becoming ridiculous, this better not be true.
Its not official until Roblox or a staff member announces it (and even then they may go back on their word), don’t believe anything from a non-staff member even if they have proof.
It’s on the roblox API website, if you haven’t checked already, I apologize, I had no Idea the API website, managed by roblox isn’t reliable nor moderated by real roblox administrators.
Oh my gosh. I know a lot of about the Roblox API backends, and for those who don’t know what they are, its how users/roblox can request information from its servers, and apply new values too.
When users request to use the group payout feature, it will either be accepted or denied by Roblox. Inline with what you two said, moderators seemingly are already denying payments.
I’m doing commissions once a while and I don’t want to wait a whole week to pay someone. What if I’m scammed, basically?
Commissioner: Ok, send me the file. Payout will be ready in 7 days. User: Alright, there. [7 days pass] Commissioner: User: Hi, where’s the payment? Wasn’t it supposed to be there in 7 days? Commissioner:
I also consider paying artists, I don’t want them to wait THIS long…
Also not to mention workers can reject the payment for no reason.
Hooray! I gotta spend another 7 days sending 10k to some cool artist!
This is going to hinder so many independent devs.
And I’m honestly considering stopping with commissions at this point.
I think you’ve been misinformed. Logical analysis does not have say over whats been done, and what’s happening. I don’t know where, but individuals who pay the bills with roblox exist, I’ve seen them talking on the DevForums, and people I know elsewhere.
I absolutely love this update roblox!! Thank you very much! I had a small group with some hopes and now it’s half dead. Again, amazing update, it’s helping me ALOT!!
Its not announced though? I can add parts of code to support new features but never go through with it. In the end it doesn’t matter unless its actually confirmed.
