This might be the end of Roblox. 🧵
Indiana is suing Roblox. The Attorney General is alleging the platform has not made sufficient measures to protect children against predators online, and the effectiveness of the safety features that were released “remain to be seen”.
R15 avatars on Roblox can now include optional joints, including fingers, a refined torso, and ball-of-foot joints. More details: devforum.roblox.com/t/4618805
Roblox is removing cross-game gamepass sales and forcing a $5/month requirement just to donate, with a 1,000 Robux monthly limit. This will kill PLS DONATE. PLS DONATE is built around cross-game gamepass sales, a system that’s free for players and has no limits. Removing it doesn’t just change things, it kills the game completely. I wasn’t made aware of this change before it was announced. No warning, no chance to give my input or feedback before they announce this change. I’ve been developing on this platform since I was 12 and have always loved making games on Roblox, so seeing something this impactful happen overnight without real consideration is genuinely upsetting. This means a lot to me and I’m really sad about this. The solution Roblox gave us is the Transfer API, which really isn’t a solution and still affects us heavily. It’s locked behind a $5/month subscription, capped at 1,000 Robux per month, and under-18 users require parental approval for EVERY SINGLE transaction. That completely changes the experience. If transferring Robux is going to be paid, gamepasses need to coexist. Removing them ruins everything and doesn’t stop bad actors from just purchasing through the site anyway. It doesn’t make sense. I really don’t want to build hatred toward this platform. I love Roblox and still believe in it, and if it truly cares about its developers, I’m sure there are better solutions that keep users safe without killing our game. @Roblox @DavidBaszucki

Well all donation games are doomed with this update ig roblox wants people to pay robux to send like not everyone has money but oh well NOT POWERING IMAGINATION ROBLOX
RIP Pls Donate and all Roblox "donation" games. 😭 Roblox is removing cross-game sales of dev products and gamepasses. All Roblox donation games will no longer work.
Roblox will no longer allow games to sell gamepasses from other games starting from May 29th. As a mandatory replacement, Roblox is introducing the Transfers API. You must be age-checked or have a linked parental account to either receive or send Robux. Any Robux will immediately be received upon you accepting the Robux. You will receive 90% of the Robux, instead of the previous 60%; however, 10% still goes to the game's creator. To send Robux, you must be subscribed to Roblox Plus. Roblox currently only allows a 1,000 Robux maximum to be sent per month. You will not be able to cancel any transfer. Additionally, you can transfer Robux on the "Buy Robux" page or by donating it to a user's page. If you are under the age of 18, your parent must approve each transfer request. Any request not accepted within a week will be sent back to the person who initially sent it. Any Robux earned from transfers are not DevEx-able.
