For the first time in history Roblox is losing players instead of gaining them, yet almost every update they announce is something that will further drive people away
Are they intentionally trying to kill their own platform? like what the hell is going on

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

@roastedsquash11 >No fees
>Requires a paid subscription
pick one
Also the limit is like 1000 robux, that's like nothing

@theghostofabb Also, I'm not saying that any singular update has directly caused a drop in players.
What I am saying is that if I was in a position where I was losing players for the first time ever, my first instinct wouldn't be to push out even *more* controversial updates
English
@theghostofabb 1. Other devs making less money is irrelevant
2. Did I defend his game? Or did I use it being banned as
a talking point to bring up the communities distaste for multiple recent updates as a whole?
Are you just allergic to nuance or something?
English
@theghostofabb They've literally been banned in multiple countries over the past year as well, I don't know how anyone could argue that hasn't contributed to a drop in players
English
@BLOX they just had 3 games pull 20 million concurrent players last summer, obviously the numbers are gonna go down and stabilize 😭
on god nobody outside of greasy twitter users quit over age checks or classic faces

@sebby_r72297 The post isn't only about Hazem, there's a reason why I said "almost every update"
-The chat censor update
-Forced dynamic head update
-ID verficiation + paid subscription required to publish games
All within the last year, all highly controversial/disliked
English
@sebby_r72297 You realize Roblox can just deny Devex requests if they want to right? They're not forced to give anyone money, + they literally gave his game an award, I don't think they believe he's "exploiting" anything
Also the new donation limit with Roblox Plus is way too low
English
@KreekCraft Cool that a $5 feature has a $10 limit on donations, incredibly worth it
English
Roblox claims this is to stop "fraud and exploitation".
But these games have existed for years now and it hasn't been a problem. Roblox even gave one an award.
Funny how it's suddenly a problem that needs addressing now that Roblox sells the same feature for $5/month. 🤑🤑🤑

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.

@KreekCraft first they need to make it so it’s not a pain in the ass to experiment with wearing different outfits
English
Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Roblox also removed games like Catalog Avatar Creator.
Seems like Roblox wants all the money flowing directly to them and through their official marketplace.

@LanceRanises_ @neverlie Curious how you think one person not participating in the publicizing a celebrity will somehow not make them famous
