Hello, does rewarding players for liking and favoriting a game break TOS?
I’ve seen many games do this.
Drive world gives +10% cash if you favorite it.
This game gives 10,000 cash for liking it, favoriting it and joining their group.
This game gives a free car and 25,000 cash for joining their group and liking the game.
There are lots of other games that do this as well.
Developers cannot detect whether a player leaves a like on the game or not, so they attempt to trick the player into believing otherwise.
Basically, they tell you to like, favorite and join the group, then they use code to check if you’re in the group or not. Since favorited games of every user are public information, I’m sure there’s an easy way to check this as well. The only thing they cannot check, are likes, for obvious reasons.
You’re not supposed to give players bonuses for liking the game at all, for two reasons:
1: The like system is intended to be a rating of the game, not just another cash-grab feature for people’s projects to misrepresent the quality of their game
2: It’s dishonest to claim liking the game will give perks, because this is completely false
You’re allowed to ask players to join a group for perks however, as this is the appropriate channel of self-promotion on Roblox.
Is saying it’s optional fine? like how this game did:
Of course! This very respectable and doesn’t violate Roblox’s policy of not giving perks,
“in exchange for something (e.g., in exchange for a thumb up on your game).”
I also think that a cool way of phrasing it is:
Enjoying the game?
[insert like & favorite text here]
If I were to ask for a rating, I’d feel safest wording it that way(This is how companies with a good reputation often phrase it)
But this is just a suggestion what you saw in that game is perfectly fine
