lmao pet simulator got the admins to post an entire dev forum post for them to stop doing that NFT selling cuz they don’t want to ban a 150k+ player game
If the game was small you would’ve taken it down immediately and there would be no such post

If BIG Paintball gets shut down over this then I’m gonna be so mad because I spent 300 dollars to get the dark matter gun…

- Wait VISA are into cryptos ?
- Actually the DevEx rate should be buffed because you can do more money with external payments instead of going through DevEx, and that’s one of the reasons why Pet Simulator is going on NFTs.

And, i didn’t looked at the auction page but it’s still possible They uses Polygon Blockchain, where they uses a different consensus mechanisms that don’t require to set up giant farms in North Pole.
Personally I don’t think Roblox should allow this seeing how stupid of an idea NFT is and how its possibly against the TOS.
Just to share some thoughts I have in mind about this issue.
Sure, developers are allowed to monetize or popularize their experiences in the means of advertising through Roblox’s on-site advertisement methods (ex: Sponsored Experiences etc.), but introducing NFTs to the general audience of Roblox, which is a metaverse site dedicated to the young and developing audience was really uncalled for. Not even going to the point where it harms the environment because of the electricity needed to keep these systems running already.
Most importantly, while it is technically a way to live in our current situation to get the means of money and solve some of our financial problems, we should never resort to such actions to gain revenue. Worst thing of all is that this alone is against the Roblox’s Terms of Service. Popularity of a game doesn’t determine or change the rules of the site. Everyone is entitled to follow them at all cost, regardless.
That’s all I have, thank you.

In my opinion, the game should be taken down if it’s breaking the rules. No matter how big or small your game is, you should abide by the rules and be treated equally.
Roblox should hand out a takedown even if it would cost them revenue from players.
Otherwise this would just show favoritism, putting smaller developers in a serious disadvantage concerning moderation strikes.
Just because you’re the king or president doesn’t give you the right to break the laws.

NTFs connected to Roblox stuff has is againts the TOS and always has been againts the TOS. It is no different than buying Roblox stuff with physical cash.
Expect
This ^^
That’s the only difference.
But that’s not even the point.
The idea of an NTF is already a scam, Roblox simulators are scams.
Soo yeah.
And if you are going to say “but you get the NTF it isnt a scam”, then your standards for a scam are really low.
NFTs do not belong on this platform. Numerous risks (scams, unrelated policies etc) can cause many takedowns for Roblox developers. As it was an out of the box case, I dont think Pet Sim would fall in any sort of direct trouble but games promoting NFTs after their statement, i.e. after the current matter is resolved, could get moderated which is more or less deserved.

That’s different, he isn’t breaking the TOS. Preston was doing off-site trading, which is against the TOS, just selling renders of studio isn’t.

Ethereum has been promising to move to proof of stake Soon™ for years now, it’s always 2 months away. The fact of the matter is that NFTs are destructive in the here and now and should not be supported until this is rectified.

I expected sooner or later for this to appear, and ngl, NFT’s are harmful for the environment, considering you have to mine cryptocurrency, which spends a ton of power, causing global warming too and releasing carbon footprint.
All developers should be treated equal, if a small creator did this they would be banned permanently. Roblox looks the other way for people who are making money for them, and it’s not a good look to bend the rules to keep making money while harshly banning less revenue earning developers.

NO. Why would it be a joke? I’m excited about blockchain technology, crypto, and NFTs! Are you going to call me a bad person for my support of it? I’m also a developer who too wants to offer NFTs as super exclusive content. It’s 100% worth exploring. I wish my Limited/U’s were NFTs…I’m just saying. I want to give my players high quality content like how COD mobile has all kinds of stuff…No scams.
I’m probably not the only one that thinks crypto and NFT are gambling because the value might randomly go up and then drop, making you lose money. It’s no different than going to a casino; putting a coin into a slot machine; and either losing or winning, with losing being the most likely outcome. Where I live, gambling is strictly 18+.
Please add a clause to the TOS that explicitly prohibits NFTs.

I can relate that, seen the situation multiple times with other platform, a content creator was just unpartnered for scamming instead of being permanently banned.

I beg to the heavens above that you don’t allow NFTs and enforce actual action on this issue.
But it probably won’t happen because big player count = big money = Roblox likey = slap on the wrist.

Off-site selling in game items/perks,etc. isn’t allowed for a reason - because Roblox can’t control it and they don’t have revenue share from it, it’s literally bypassing Roblox’s economy (with NFTs you get much more direct access to the revenue than from Roblox - you need to wait sometimes up to 14 days to receive your pending robux doesn’t that sound kind of unfair?)

I’m making mugs, t-shirts, and other real world items to advertise and promote my games. If I use my games logo as a t shirt design and sell it is that a problem? If I attach an NFT to it to make it authentic, is that violating the rules? It’s not in game content. lol… I guess I wont give a badge or special admin if they have something. I want my body of work to be spectacular. I work hard, I study hard…I didn’t go to RDC for no reason; I respect the rules. Whatever.
