Roblox developers are some of the most performative outrage larpers I’ve ever seen my entire life, good riddance’s less competition for me to make games. Anyone throwing a tantrum over this needs to go touch grass.

Starting May 19, 2026, Roblox will be updating the requirements to make games public to all users (including Roblox Kids and Roblox Select): - Complete an age check - Be ID verified - Have 2-factor authentication setup - Have an active Roblox Plus subscription - Have an account in good standing - Complete a new per-game evaluation process

Within 6 hours of this tweet being posted, about 10 of my developer friends deleted roblox studio. They didn't just say it, they actually quit for good. Since they were all developers with so much potential, I hope they can now pursue their dreams freely and peacefully elsewhere.

Roblox is changing the eligibility to upload games on the platform. To publish for all ages, you now need: - Roblox Plus; - ID Verification & Age Check; - 2-Step Verification enabled; - and have your account in "good standing". Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts. To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need: - An account in "good standing"; - An age check; and - An account that is at least 2 days old. Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use. Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.
