@ropug_dev The initial wording of this post is misleading. This is to publish to ALL AGES in which there should be a barrier to do so.

‼️This is absolutely insane. Roblox now expects small developers to pay 100,000 Robux just to bypass eligibility requirements and release their games. --- Here's what smaller developers are now facing: ➡️ Pay 100,000 Robux (over $350 USD after DevEx value) to bypass the requirements and release your game. OR ➡️ Don't pay, and your game gets automatically pushed to 16+ if it doesn't accumulate 100+ hours of playtime within a 30-day period. And here's the craziest part: this doesn't just affect new games. A game you released years ago could suddenly become 16+ if it drops below that 100-hour threshold during any 30-day window. That effectively removes access for a huge portion of Roblox's player base (75%). So how are developers supposed to QA test, soft launch, iterate, or build an audience from scratch? I actually like the idea behind Roblox Kids and Roblox Select. I even understand charging a reasonable fee to publish games. But 100,000 Robux is not a reasonable fee. This doesn't hurt large studios. They can launch a game and instantly attract players. They don't have to worry about hitting engagement thresholds. This hurts: • Small studios • Indie developers • Hobbyists • New creators trying to break into the industry And what problem does this realistically solve? The argument seems to be that limiting access to smaller games helps prevent predators. But with 132 million daily players, bad actors aren't magically disappearing because smaller games are restricted. If they can't access one game, they'll move to another. Roblox has already invested heavily in safety: • Parental controls • Age-gated experiences • Platform segmentation • Additional publishing requirements At some point, parents also need to be aware of what their children are doing online. What's most concerning is that I haven't seen many large developers speaking up about this. They aren't affected by it. But the next generation of developers is. If this isn't reevaluated, we'll see fewer indie successes, fewer new studios, fewer opportunities, and ultimately fewer jobs in the Roblox ecosystem. Small developers are the future of this platform. We shouldn't be pricing them out of existence. #Roblox #RobloxDev #RobloxDevs #RobloxNews @Roblox_RTC @Roblox

@ohsoku @PoptartNoahh Backrooms games are the worst with it😭

@PoptartNoahh I get it I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️ idk. I just see a lot of games especially on Roblox have it and It makes me sick personally 😭

why do roblox/indie fps game makers love this stupid head bobbing mechanic. it's just a motion sickness nightmare. almost worse than motion blur. it does not add realism 😭

When was this even added? #roblox #robloxdev #robloxstudio

Can we agree that 50% of devforum users are bots tasked with replying negatively to any official update post... #roblox #robloxdev #robloxstudio

@CraftedKarts_ Explain how this will make it easier 🗿

Roblox. We need to talk. Your are a multi-billion dollar company. The global user ID removal update is nonsense. This will make it way easier for bad people to reach children. Revert the update roblox. Just revert it..

@MaximumADHD I don't even understand how this update is receiving the amount of backlash it is

Maybe I just grew up or maybe Roblox got bigger, were announcement threads on the devforum always filled with such obnoxious childish replies? devforum.roblox.com/t/update-on-sa… I don't think I'd have the patience to respond to people in there.

@bytejon @plasma_node Well for some reason it told me it wasn’t supported

@FizzineX @plasma_node Yes you can

@plasma_node You can't even save the new User datatype in a datastore (which you could with UserID) 😭

Someone explain to me why the new User update is bad #roblox #robloxdev #robloxstudio

Can everyone stop recreating minecraft with Claude Fable for like 10 minutes so I can get enough usage to test it out 🙏

@Roblox Maybe this is how we get "shaders" 🤔

Morpheus AI is joining Roblox. This acquisition will dramatically cut the time and cost of building high-fidelity, interactive worlds and unlock new possibilities for creators everywhere. about.roblox.com/newsroom/2026/…

This has been resolved: devforum.roblox.com/t/instances-di…

Did studio just completely break for anyone else? When I select something and then unselect it, it gets destroyed. I have no plugins enabled. #roblox #robloxdev

@MaximumADHD Haven't been following development of this, but this looks sick!

@BSlickComposer @maxdeploy I am convinced that account is an AI

@maxdeploy so you essentially just reiterated what I said in my post

It's possible that by the end of the development of the first game, the code was a mess Makes me wonder if revisiting in a sequel, they've cleaned up the code a bit in a way that will allow them to do more things than they could've with the state of the code in the previous ver.

@TizzzyRBLX Delete the server

Roblox devs, need your opinion: What’s the #1 BEST way to kill a dev discord server?

@SynnxzyFN @realrusro @l_eiif Somebody didn't get followed 😦

@realrusro @l_eiif Being followed by a roblox dev isnt a flex lol thats like literally the lowest thing u can get followed by on this platform

NO WAY @l_eiif FOLLOWS ME🤯

@MrChickenRocket Colored boxing

Greyboxing? Build a better greybox. #robloxdev

Is this what I think it means? And also why? And also cool. #roblox #robloxdev

@Bond_Dev_ Me

Real ones know… Who’s your #1 Roblox developer and why? 😤 (This will start arguments 😂)
