Why is this limited to United States only out of interest? I don’t quite understand the benefits of this decision apart from distributing a $100 gift card more easily.
I don’t really care about getting a gift card from entering this tbh, but I’d still like to enter and give my feedback, because I don’t honestly think that Roblox pays attention to it enough.
It’s clear Roblox needs to understand more about its creator community considering they restricted the survey to only US residents - do the rest of the developers around the world not matter as much to them? If the sole reason is because of the gift card prize, a better solution would have been to just exclude non-US residents from this particular giveaway - not the entire survey.
I think all Roblox creators will agree with me when I say that we consider these surveys great opportunities to directly express feedback, suggestions and concerns, and I find it quite disappointing that only US-based developers can give their feedback this time around. This is also considering the fact that a substantial portion of the most successful experiences on Roblox are created by developers who live outside the USA.
I usually take the time to fill out these surveys with detailed responses and some feedback I have given has been taken on board (or implemented) on multiple occasions. These surveys do work, and usually Roblox is good at listening to the feedback in them, so I’m disappointed that I am excluded from this particular one just because of where I live.
Hopefully this is a one-off and future Roblox surveys will take into account feedback from the wider developer community, particularly the large number of people relying on the Roblox platform for full-time income (and therefore contributing a lot to the platform), not just those living in the USA.
Why is it only available to residents of the US, shouldn’t it be for everyone, I’m Canadian and would like to do it, i don’t necessarily care about the gift card as nice as it would be, but being able to give my feedback would be nice.
Edit: I just did it by going yes then not putting my name info in as its not required, its nothing much, just asking how much robux/ money you made from roblox. It was pointless to me, as i didn’t make anything and it was all in USD too. Was hoping it would been more related to other stuff
Asking me how much ROBUX I made TOTAL in 2023? How am I supposed to find THAT out? I already struggled to recall how much money I got from the Developer Exchange.
I’m acquainted with the owner of a >100k CCU game… who currently resides in Asia. What exactly made Roblox decide top-earning talented developers like him don’t matter enough to be allowed to take their surveys? Why is this USA-only?
As others have said, excluding non-USA developers is a severe misjudgement on Roblox’s part. I myself was able to take the survey because I live in the USA, but over 70% of the people I work with don’t, and their feedback is just as valuable as mine or anyone else’s.
The choice to make this US only is an interesting decision. I’m sure the whole of Europe could give you better and more granular feedback than just one country.
European developers exist. It’s not a small demographic either. If the giftcard is the reason then just dont enter non-US residents into the giveaway
I didn’t even make 2 million ROBUX; I only made 1.9. That’s actually not very good. (TO MY STANDARDS. I might be angering many people by having said that. I just hoped I would earn more from the games I made in late 2023, but I was wrong.)
Although I reside in the US, I don’t really think that it should only be limited to us. There are a bunch of devs outside of the US and they deserve to be included.
The only real roadblock is the reward but if they can’t make that happen they should at least just provide the survey
Although I can only dream of that (), I can kinda envision your game or experience being really popular and not make as much as games that have a similar amount of visits or cc players
Stop with this US resident crap, people aren’t here because they care about getting things or whatever the problem may be, they’re here because they care about the platform. There’s never been a US restriction on surveys until recently. Drop whoever you’re working with on this for analytics, this is pathetic for a global company.
I hate this US restriction thing on this ROBLOX CREATOR EXPERIENCE SURVEY, I love taking surveys and now they only restrict it to the US. I am offended as I am a Brazilian.
Ironic how ROBLOX tries to be “inclusive of everyone” while NOT being inclusive of non-United States residents. If they instead offered that global gift card, there would be no problem.
I’d assume laws about collecting data from various countries. Or, it could be something to do with the gift cards. If so, Roblox should remove the gift cards. It’s far more worth developer trust/understanding.
The whole point here is to get feedback from the community, not less than half the community.
