Opening up Marketplace to More Creators

[aobunau (aobu)]

ugc was already filled with slop before this icl

You’d think that after the utter failure of the classic clothing catalogue (people stealing clothing and bypassing the moderation), they’d learn to moderate and control the UGC catalogue first before opening this up to more people who know they can abuse it.

Roblox is not ready for this, and I’m shocked they are entrusting their community with this. Whatever I guess, I doubt we’d notice any difference with the current state of the UGC catalogue… lol.

Can creators still make free items? How much does it cost to publish free items?

• Yes, creators can make free Limited items only and these will be charged for each unit created (per-unit fee ). As of today, the per-unit fee for free Limited items is 100 Robux. These per-unit fees will continue to be dynamic and can be changed in the future.

This is ABSURD. 100 Robux per quantity for free UGC is not viable for large brands, let alone an individual creator. I’m working with a MASSIVE internationally well-known brand who is planning on doing 250,000 quantity. We were expecting the cost to be somewhere around $25,000, with this new change it’ll be $87,500. This is not only going to destroy the ability for UGC games that their whole business model is awarding players for playing, but it’s going to make it nearly impossible for brands to giveaway UGC at scale.

We need this changed immediately.

Don’t forget you must be ID verified, so if you break the TOS and roblox bans you, you can’t create an alt to upload more bad ugc, so roblox only need to have a good moderation and the market will be okay (not good but atlease okay, like rn)

Crazy how I posted about this the other day now it’s happening

[jasperagent (helvete)]

I don’t know how to feel about this; the already existing problems with UGC haven’t really been addressed and I think it’s just going to create more problems to open up a not very organized catalog.

[Tomader910 (Tom)]

We do not want public ugc. The state of the catalog already sucks.

[Topyson]

Looking forward to how this goes.

[Blizzory (colin)]

Who is we? Don’t really think you speak for everyone on this, I am very excited for this change.

[mosquitowo]

“We” being the small minority of privileged members of the Roblox community with a monopoly over the catalog.

[6txto (txt0)]

this is the not it, not thaks rblox, txto sad

[Spiraxy]

As much as I can see how this is beneficial to a lot of people, I do hope you have prepared proper ways for us to protect our items, GOOD moderation and quick support + increase in our pay. Seeing how messy it was even before Public UGC, I think we all are a bit worried

[dfgfdgfdsyhdgfyh (LYK)]

I genuinely don’t get the standards for this, like how much do you have to be following the community standards? I’ve been banned like twice and I don’t understand why I don’t have it, within the requirements. (if it’s not rolling out)

[Tomader910 (Tom)]

Look at the state of shirts and pants, everything is a copy of something. Look at recently created on accessories, there’s so much that’s just stolen ip, or copies of limiteds.

[Ellroon (Miau)]

actually i applied a year ago, right in the time they stopped to accept people…

[Blizzory (colin)]

Yeah… that’s the point of the premium requirement, ID Verification, and publishing fees… to weed out the garbage. You’ll live.

[NightTheChosen (KingNight)]

Sick, just can’t wait for it to get enrolled for me!

[MoabyBug (moaby)]

Aaaaand here it is. Doomsday ladies and gentlemen

roblox: allows anyone to make UGC
also roblox: makes it impossible for devs to use UGC to boost their games
