Similar game uploaded twice

Hey, I just had a quick question since when I searched it I couldn’t find a clear answer.

If I were to do an update for my game and put it under a different group and keep both the original game and the updated game up, is that against the TOS? Where do you draw the line from re-uploading the same game twice, which I believe is against TOS to an updated version of the game that you couldn’t get in trouble for?

Thanks! Serious replies only!

Im prettty sure thats not against the tos, but might not be the smartest move.

I know a lot of cafes and stuff will upload a new version under a completely different game although its kind of simiialir? I really wish I could find a clear answer to this.

#4

Yes, ive seen this a lot, even my friend does it, but the game always has something different, such as a different map for example.

-edit-
scripts, ui/concept are same, but tweaked map a bit

that’s not against ToS since its your game and you are the owner
but but it may confuses players so better you upload it only once

I mean just because you say that doesn’t mean its true, no offence! But I am glad to see we both agree on this, I really hope a roblox admin can stumble apon this and answer it for us.

It depends really, if the second group is specifically named the “development” or “testing” group of the main group, then I believe it should be fine. However, if both groups are completely different I would suggest not doing it as many people may think it was stolen from the other.

If you want to play it safe, just upload the updated game on a test account (or your account possibly) and turn on Team Create to collaborate

The best solution probably is:

  • Rename your new game to the old game’s name with something such as (remastered).
  • MAKE SURE you are the owner of both games/groups, or the holder is the same.

If you went into more detail of the updated version it would help me decide, thanks and good luck.

Games like ‘Piggy but 100 players’ is technally an updated version of the game, but both games are up. It really depends on what kind of ‘updated’ you are talking about.
