I lost everything overnight.
~40M Robux ($180k) that I earned legitimately from years of building games on this platform
This wasn’t a side account. It was my full-time job and the business I built over 4+ years
(1/2)
Roblox has lost around $70 billion in value over the past year, with its stock price down 70%
The company blamed a lack of new viral games after disappointing earnings
To all the creators on Roblox who sucked up to Schlep and gave into the pedo hysteria instead of calling it out, was it really worth it?
It's going to be the biggest "I told you so" moment when the company goes bankrupt and every single creator loses their income
@hp_rexnet Se preencher o formulário o IRS tributa 30% apenas na parte advinda dos states. Mas não sei quanto isso impactaria no devex, ainda mais levando em conta o robux a 0.0054 dólares com o US 18+ exchange rate
- Trading servers are dead.
- AFK servers are dead.
- Persistent roleplay servers are dead.
- Community hub servers are dead.
- Friends can't share servers.
Roblox REALLY wants those Roblox Plus sales and are clearly willing to sacrifice established parts of Roblox to get it.
It’s genuinely sickening seeing some people wish the worst on me and be happy that my game is being killed overnight. Yes, I’m incredibly grateful for the position I’m in, but this was never just about money. It’s about watching a business I’ve built for years be damaged overnight by something completely out of my control. I would never wish this on any other developer, and I truly hope no one else on this platform has to go through the way Roblox has handled this with us.
One of my friends had his game completely taken off the Roblox algorithm because of Roblox's most recent update.
From 30 CCU straight to 0. Small developers are ruined. With very few games, this was absolutely detrimental to his income.
This wasn't just some low-effort slop either. There was plenty of effort put into level design. People loved the game. Just because it's a small game, doesn't mean it's bad, and it doesn't mean it should be completely abolished from the algorithm.
Roblox has constantly taken heat for bad changes recently, especially targeted towards developers. I've defended a lot of these changes despite community backlash. But this one is bad - possibly the WORST change Roblox has made in years.
It might be time to start moving away from Roblox.

I rarely talk about Roblox's updates on Twitter but this is easily one of the worst updates in Roblox's history. To make a game played by a younger audience you have to make a game appeal to an older audience, which probably goes against your initial game design.
It’s gone up by 10 🙃

and btw, “Highly engaged players” are based on their platform stats, so your game stats have no impact
Is this a common issue happening with other roblox devs? I've got over 2000 daily players according to my stats on this game, yet I'm still ineligible. How are only 275 out of thousands of players monthly 'authentic' or am I misunderstanding the requirement?
