Feels like a lot of updates lately come with a "an effect of this was not intended" which makes me wonder if they shouldn't take more time thinking these decisions through before rolling them out...
Genuinely one of the most mind numbingly stupid updates Roblox has ever conceived.
This makes safety WORSE!!! It will become harder for developers to ban users across their games and for communities to share ban lists to prevent gross+dangerous users from entering their games.
Insane, Roblox just said publicly that a “highly engaged player” is someone who has spent a considerable amount of money on the platform in the last 60 days.
Genuinely insane. This explains why highly monetized games are hitting it so much faster.

I do not say this lightly, but this new policy for games may actually kill what makes Roblox so wonderful for indie development. This platform is supposed to be a low barrier to entry for creating a game and reaching an audience. Hope things get better 🙏
ROBLOX, THESE ARE ALL THE GAMES YOU ARE LEAVING BEHIND WITH YOUR AMAZING UPDATE! EVERY GAME POSTED ON THE PAGE, ALL OF THEM. PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR UPDATE.
It looks like Roblox is restricting all games to Ages 16+ by default.
To reach younger players your game needs at least 500 unique age-verified 16+ players in the past 30 days.
Otherwise your game stays locked to Ages 16+
