@fowntainwhat@plasma_node Roblox gave us a 3 week notice. 3 weeks to figure out what to do next. Imagine the core feature of your game, which has been up for years, being removed by Roblox entirely and you are only give 3 weeks to figure out what to do next. That sounds right to you?
@tallcowyt This stance also takes away credit from games like pls donate and their success. No one is forced to play it, but they choose to because of the experience they created. Its fun for players and the devs are rewarded because of it. Niche games like this are what makes Roblox unique
@tallcowyt You do realize that games that use this api still get 10% of the sent amount right? So the issue is not that Roblox is “paying millions” to these devs. Roblox was also getting their cut of these millions. Players would not have ever spent that robux if the game didn’t exist.
@Mathep11@MaximumADHD@RELICSxyz T shirt donations can’t be verified. Donation exploits are a major paint point for donation games and it’s become easier to just only allow gamepass sales since they can be verified. Not sure if it matters for this game max is talking about though.
@iGottic_Real In my game you battle others to earn the most donations. Sure you can go and directly donate to them via the web, but then you dont earn any incentives in the game. Robux donations aren’t even the primary source of income for me, but it is the backbone of it all
@iGottic_Real The middle man method is not the primary influence behind these games. You meet people and therefore want to donate to them, for whatever reason. And the game rewards you by showcasing your donations to everyone, which in turn makes you want to donate more to others…
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.
