1. don't do roblox's crappy verification and be banished from your passion

3. give up the id and buy the subscription, but be heavily creatively limited if you try to publish for the unverified / kids group

all options are going to kill either passion or income for most devs, or maybe both. devs explode, player counts do as well, so i feel real damage coming from this update
unverified players might as well finally pack it up from this rotting shattered platform

I'm starting to think that what you said last isn't going to happen, because for some reason, even with the age verification, EVEN WITH THAT, I've seen people in public places chatting on Roblox just like nothing happend, and they are young people like how

We are so screwed rn man. There’s literally nothing else to say other than that. We’re simply so screwed.
Oh and a tad bit unrelated I guess, but do y’all think any of the Roblox YouTubers might quit Roblox as well anytime soon? Or nah? And even if that did happen, would it possibly help to change the minds of Roblox???

But what about the unverified people who play games that are rated moderate

Ha, the games I play are minimal and mild, so I can be still playing Roblox.

I’m moving to geometry dash if that is happening. Also this is gonna kill game like BBN. We all thought this was coming.

Roblox just introduced Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, and it sucks. Roblox Kids is for 5-9 I think? And unverified users. There is no chat, only games with minimal and mild maturity ratings are allowed, and voice chat and party chat are also not allowed.

Roblox Select is somewhat similar to regular Roblox, but it’s split up into two groups. Group 1 is 9-12, they can only see chat and most of the stuff from Roblox Kids applies to them. However, you can chat here if you get a parent’s permission which is nice I suppose. Group 2 is 12-15, and it’s much more relaxed. Group two gets full chat access, including party and voice chat. And gets access to Moderate rated games.

Regular Roblox is now only for 16+ users (which is almost nobody) You get full access to all games and chat so that’s nice I guess.

I already mentioned this, but to reiterate, all users that have not completed an age check will be put into Roblox Kids. This sucks so so so much, and I think it might just be time to move on from Roblox for good.

I will personally enjoy the last few days of Roblox before they decide to launch this update. And knowing Roblox, they are not going to back down from this. I’m probably just going to quit after this update launches, I can’t be bothered to keep up with all this bullshit.
