I made most of my success on Roblox through game acquisitions. I acquired and ran most of big wins that people talk about when you think of acquisitions.
Here is my advice for developers if they are thinking of selling, or being approached by 10,000 different people asking to "buy" your game.
YOU DONT HAVE TO SELL
NEVER sign a contract with an option, right of first refusal or clauses to buy more of your game at a later date
NEVER SELL MAJORITY
THERE ARENT ANY SECRETS, most of these guys promise that they will help your game, like they are some secret keyholder to the algorithm... most of the people can't or won't help with your game.
The business model is the following: buy a game, and wait for the algorithm to pick it up. If the algo picks it up, put a team on it.
People offer big $$$ when they know your game is going to blow up, so if you are getting offers for millions of dollars, remember that your game is likely to earn that over its lifetime!
There are a few times I suggest selling, if they are the right team, and are providing real value. For example, doing live ops, or only buying a small minority % so you can derisk incase the project performs badly.
You can do it yourself and you will learn more in the process. So remember that!
You don't have to be a clothing designer or have experience in the space for years to recognize that this update is disrespectful, unsustainable, and the complete opposite of empowering.
A trending game ( Paint an Album 🎨 ) on Roblox was recently compromised from the original creator; Gigglefing_er on July 4th.
It’s now falsely owned by a group called “We The Real Devs” by the user; zYdolo2134. There is 2 more users in the group that may be apart of this situation.
The hackers are doing this to exploit the community to fulfill their greed.
There needs to be better safety measures to stuff like this to prevent people from getting easily token logged in just a few mins.
Giggle has been trying his best to get contact to the Roblox support yet Roblox hasn’t been doing anything to solve the problem.
Please spread their story more so Roblox can see this and put a fix to it immediately.
@Paintanalbum is their real X account and if you want more updates on this their discord is https://t.co/0PMihkUNe9 and nothing else.

After 3 days WITHOUT a response from Roblox regarding my robux & game, THIS IS THE RESPONSE I GET. @Roblox, you have failed your developer community.
It really feels like this was a lie.
“R6 avatars aren’t going away,” but we’re going to pay developers more if they don’t use them.
“2D clothing isn’t going away,” but we’re going to make it so unprofitable that nobody makes them.
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.
It’s funny how one image can change your first impression.🤔
A good thumbnail can make someone give your game a chance.
That’s why I like what VizzBees does
You describe the thumbnail you want, and it generates it for Roblox, Fortnite or YouTube.🌸

Seeing them sideby side highlights just how bad this downgrade really is. @Roblox should stop forcing these broken dynamic heads and restore the OG classic face options.
