Since Maxwell has me blocked, I'll respond to him here. Hazem has genuinely been one of the kindest and most generous developers I’ve had the chance to work with. Even Roblox themselves have publicly recognized and praised his contributions to the community. This update didn’t just hurt one game, it effectively destroyed an entire community while also removing one of the easiest ways for players to send Robux to each other, locking it behind a $5/month paywall. Pls Donate was never just about acting as a middleman for Robux. A huge part of its appeal was the social aspect and the community built around it. For a lot of people, myself included, interacting with others was the real reason to play, not simply earning Robux. And honestly, if Hazem is losing the income he built from years of work, he absolutely has the right to be vocal and upset about it. Roblox made no effort to reach out to him or discuss possible solutions that could preserve the game’s community while still allowing players to easily support each other. And yes, if a platform removes someone’s primary source of income, I think they’re fully allowed to criticize that platform and say it sucks. Hazem himself has even said that he loved Roblox, and that these recent changes are what soured his opinion on the platform. The only person showing their true colors here is you, with the hateful attitude you’re directing toward him.



I think most people fail to see what PLS DONATE really was.🤦♂️It wasn't just a game for @haz3m_ to "middleman donations". The game was successful because of the community that formed around it. Thousands of content creators were able to give back to their fans and connect with their communities while getting super cool reactions and global recognition for their generosity. People donated because they got something back from it. Being generous came with its own kind of reward. On top of giving wealthy players a place to LITERALLY share their wealth with kids who couldn't afford Robux, it was also a great game for networking and meeting successful people you likely never would have met otherwise. Reducing the entire game to a "transaction skimmer" misses why millions of people played it in the first place. If you've actually spent time in the game, you'd know it was never just about the Robux—it was about the community, the interactions, and the culture that formed around giving. I got to meet a lot of cool people through PLS DONATE. And Hazem being upset that his game is being shunned is totally justified.
