(Long post)
I was a clothing designer first.

To all clothing designers reading this:

I'm sorry. You deserve so, so, so much better than this

The amount of skill, patience, and dedication you have is insane. You are a pioneer of character customization and UGC on Roblox

You weren't sent a special invite to a program with a limited number of people when you began your designing journey. Instead, you started in an extremely saturated and competitive market riddled with issues. It was already an unforgiving landscape from the start: botting, DMCA abuse, and so much more

And yet, you still managed to make a name for yourself

I was shocked by how many shortcuts and tools I had when I moved to 3D, and today I'm shocked by the amount of tools, analytics, and support I have as a game developer

Personally, I've done all kinds of art for years now, and nothing comes close to sitting for 12–14 hours doing linework, coloring, shading, and everything else that goes into clothing design

Yet instead of making changes that would give you better tools, more support, and stronger protections...

......they cut your income by more than half and significantly increase the fees, What? all while the market is still dealing with many of the same issues we've known about for more than a decade?????????????????????????????

I genuinely cannot put into words how fucked this is

And despite being a game developer now, I still cannot, for the life of me, ever comprehend why the FUCK Roblox gives games 40% and gives the artists 30%

ON. THEIR. OWN. WORK.

❤️‍🩹

this is like picking a man out of his grave and beating the shit out of him

i was originally a 2d clothing designer, we already had enough issues to deal with in the past, wtf is this lol

[KreekCraft @KreekCraft]

Roblox killed 2D Clothing.

To upload 2D Clothing you must now
- Be ID verified
- Have an active Roblox Plus subscription
- Pay an upload fee of 200 Robux
- Pay a publishing fee of 600 Robux

Roblox is also reducing how much 2D clothing creators make from a 70% cut to a 30% cut.

[Youri Hoek @Yourius]

When we wanted our 3D UGC percentage cut to be equal to 2D UGC, this is NOT what we meant…

[RTC @Roblox_RTC]

Starting July 14th, Roblox will be reducing what creators earn from 2D items, from 70% to 30%. If sold in-game, the game developer will earn 40% and the creator will still earn 30%.

In addition, to upload either 2D or 3D items, you need to pay 200 Robux and be ID verified (or have a linked parent account). To upload, you will need an active Plus/Premium membership and pay a publishing advance, starting at 600 Robux. Totaling to 800 Robux, minimum, per item.

[Empyror @Empyror]

thank you guys for everything 🥹💛

@KenamiRBX Dang this is cool, you should use it in a game and call it like KILLSTREAK idk

[Doctor Edgar Zomboss @ZombiezRComing]

@Hytok0_ SORRY FOR POSTING THOSE LEAKS... I WAS LOOKING FOR BRAINS FROM YOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM BUT IT'S CLEAR TO ME NOW THAT ALL OF YOU LACK ONE.

[realsayon1 @realsayon1]

The appeal responses we got were as following:

[realsayon1 @realsayon1]

A roblox support email was sent, however the only response we got DESPITE having the highest rank in the group (with the holder being terminated) was that the account does not own the group, despite providing evidence we own the group holder account.

[realsayon1 @realsayon1]

Additional tweets like this I have listed below show this has happened months ago. https://t.co/oymuGmMxPQ

[realsayon1 @realsayon1]

This happened months ago yet we are still left with no response whatsoever, and our appeals show NOTHING will happen
With the upcoming changes of Roblox Plus and *additional* security measures of being able to publish games, we literally cannot keep our games up because of this.

[realsayon1 @realsayon1]

#roblox #robloxdev
PLEASE spread this

ROBLOX has been refusing a false termination of our group's (SAIFYC) holder account, causation being false-reporting the starter place (assumed to be a bed in the official roblox starter place)

RIP Starving Artists.

Pls Donate isn’t the only one being affected by this update as well. The developers (and contributors me included) weren’t notified before on this either. This doesn’t only affect revenue wise, this affects opportunity wise on Roblox on things. It gave me a choice and meet amazing people including in RDC.

This really shows how no matter what Roblox game you’ve made or how much it impacted, or if it won an award. The company itself can kill it with one update so suddenly without notice in the future. Not only this affects developers, it affects the trust on how it proceeds itself as a BRAND COMPANY.

[‎Gabe Follower @gabefollower]

Reddit user u/KieranTheFox revealed that reporting scalped Steam Controllers on eBay results in the listing being nuked. You know what to do, soldiers 🫡
