2:16 pm CT today marks a year since this exact update announcement was made (and tomorrow I think is one year of the current permissions system) and we still haven’t received a second update about asset privacy. Other recent changes such as the Dashboard and ad audiences are really understandable, but Roblox did not do a great job explaining their reason for making “age under 13” accounts ad-free which led to frustration among many advertisers that I assume never intended to advertise only to children. The bold portion of the quote below is what they could’ve used bold text for and maybe a few more creators would’ve understood that it was “for safety reasons”.
For the audio situation however, this continues to be virtually the worst example of Roblox explaining their reasoning and plans.
For a financial-related “temporary” change they could’ve easily not promised anything if they didn’t want to leave us guessing and checking back.
I really hope improvements can be made to it this year. New uploads being private by default is an excellent move and may help diminish the distribution of bypassed audio, but someday the sharing restrictions for genuine audio should be dropped and the upload limits should be improved.
