Upcoming Removal of Game Sponsored Gear

Boomboxes, however, are still very much relevant within many games.

I guess…

I’ve been seeing developers create their own custom boomboxes where it’s automatically welded to the player.

I don’t think the Tool instance will deprecated per se, but I do think that they’ll phase out the ability to buy any gears for your character from the catalog.

What are old leaderboard clans?

Bad idea, simply a bad idea.
Developer products’ purchases need to be processed through a script, say, you purchase a developer product from the store page of a game and you’re not in the game. Your player instance does not exist, therefore you will not get your item because there is no script binded to your purchases, you just wasted your ROBUX on nothing. Besides, even if you were in the game, you still wouldn’t get anything because purchases made on the website don’t send anything into the game. There is simply no point in purchasing something you’ll never get.

The only reason why gamepasses are on the store page is because you don’t need to handle the purchase, you just have to check if the player owns it or not. You cannot own developer products, they’re intended to be purchased multiple times.

Roblox, don’t do this!

They should add a PlayerPurchasedDevProductEarlier event that fires when the player joins after buying a product, so when the player joins the game next, they get what they bought. I don’t script gamepasses/dev products much, so I didn’t notice this. I still think there is a way to make it work, and if there is, I would use this feature a LOT!

Nah, more like a multiple ownership feature where if you buy a product from the store page, you can use it as many times as you bought it without paying in the game.

I still think the current system in place is much better though.

As well as segways. Most other gears that aren’t like popular (eg. The boom box, segway, or guns being the popular ones) should stay as legacy items and for admin houses, as well as be purchaseable but most of the gears (eg. Neon Nate the horse lord) should go off sale and kept for legacy purposes only

epic, I actually used this feature in my game. Now people are angry at their boomboxes disappearing

I see that this feature is removed, I can’t load my gears, in the Shop tab on the website, this category is removed.

But in mobile this category continues appearing.

No appear all gears, only the Bloxy cola. What I can do? This gear can’t load in my game and I tried to remove this gear but drops error.

The leaderboard was a feature in which you could see which player was doing the best at a game in different categories, it was associated with the old and forgotten “Player Points” system.

Finally, it has gone
I even think no one used it even once
