My game, Ultimate Driving, was inexplicably set to Private within the last hour. Apparently this is not limited to just my own game, this was reported on Reddit as well, with someone’s group game being shut down by random apparent bot accounts. While my game isn’t part of a group, this seems like the same exact bug between my game and this game from Reddit. Several friends of mine attempting to access my game noticed that the title of the game on the game’s detail page was getting scrambled with other completely random games:
This issue may be similar to a bug report posted a month ago, but given the new information, lack of assistance in that thread, and critical nature of tonight’s incident I’ve posted this in a new thread.
Site bugs like this are appalling and I’m horrified that things like this are still happening on this platform.
If you look on page 5 of my group Temple of Brickbattle’s audit log, 2 botted users appear as having edited my game Doomspire Brickbattle’s place activation settings (whether it’s private or public) who were never even in the group to begin with. My group’s audit log is public to anyone who joins the group. Although this isn’t proof that it was a hack, I think it’s definitely worth investigating.
Later on in that Twitter thread I linked the user said something about your game. Yikes. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious. Definitely want to hear more from staff about anything they discover.
Vesteria was made private. I had to just re-activate it. Gave me a small heart attack when someone on twitter said the game was disabled. I thought we were scrubbed by a mod or something for breaking some obscure rule. Back to sleep now
There was no reference of any accounts activating or deactivating our game in the audit log.
If your game was taken down, check your Game’s places! Remove any places you do not recognize immediately as they may have access to your DataStores and source code!
I was hit by this too. If a game goes private will players lose their VIP servers? If they do, will Roblox be reimbursing players who lost their VIP servers in the shut down?
