Migrate to TextChatService: Removing Support for Legacy Chat and Custom Chat Systems

I do not support this change and I will keep creating copies of LegacyChat for my games. I WILL NOT MIGRATE TO THIS STUPID UGLY TEXTCHATSERVICE and If y’all at roblox trying to migrate my games with this change, don’t you dare or I will take action on every stupid update y’all make.

PS: Roblox only wants to remove LegacyChat to wipe out their legacy features, they are lying with it doesn’t integrate parental controls, they only doing this to remove ALL GOOD Legacy Features from their platform.

Seems like they actually don’t really care & just fear mongering. Typical.

It’s been 4 days since the deadline, did the team forget to enforce it? Sets a bad precedent.

If it’s delayed, then that’s alright, but that’s something you have to communicate.

If it’s not delayed, just forgotten or whatever, then it comes off as insincere and unprofessional. This whole buildup, and for what?

I personally believe that this is a necessary change to promote parental guidance, like you guys! But if you aren’t willing to enforce the deadline that YOU the corporation set, then it makes it seem like you don’t care about “parental controls” as much as I’d thought.

Also not a fan of how this gives the team the ability to shutdown Legacy Chat at ANY moment from this point forward and claim it as “sorry for the delay, thanks for your patience.” I want to be able to know exactly when something is getting removed, not a “it’s gonna be removed any minute now!” type of ordeal. Shame, shame, shame!

Best case scenario as of now would be to set a new, very short timeframe deadline. That would be cool and if that happens I’ll care less about all this. Things happen, I forget things too! Consider this an passive aggressive reminder :smile:

@Roblox @be_nj Can we please get a clarification of if the removal and migration dates got extended or if this is an oversight? My apologies for the ping by the way.

I really hope not, I did actually butcher my health staying up 3 nights in a row working as much as I can just to get the filtering out. I really hope I didnt do it for no reason. I really hope not.

I can not describe the mental anguish and fear I felt of thinking:
“My games going to randomly have no chat, names or anything because roblox told us itl be turned off.”

Honestly, this is REALLY messed up. I cant imagine putting that stress onto every dev and then just going silent about it and not actually doing it.

They don’t seem to even have this thought out correctly or set out.

One thing after another

'Experiences may be moderated"
“We will attempt to migrate your experience to TextChatService”
“Chat will be disabled in-game”

Many different statements, but not even one simple answer lol.
