Even if Developers try to give out feedback and their opinions, Roblox double down and doesn't listen, they're willing to throw them out of the train if it mean to profit towards the company.

Not only has Roblox has made these features, they have made changes that have affected Players as well. > Roblox forcing the whole audience 2D -> Dynamic faces, realistic avatars and unwanted features that nobody wants. > Accounts that have been suddenly banned for no reason at all, either if it's through a IP-Banned area or anything at all.

When will Roblox finally listen to the platform? How many updates will it takes until everyone in the platform loses their benefit of the doubt once it actually affects them and in the end ruins Roblox? Yes, The people who works for Roblox and everyone who has been apart of what makes Roblox amazing. However, these features and updates lately have been horrible and Roblox has a history over not listening to its audience at all. It should be obvious that nobody wanted it at all, yet Roblox never give it benefit of the doubt over our opinions until they're forced to.

This is a message to @DavidBaszucki and @Roblox I want to talk about. As much I love Roblox and work on it, I can't help but to wonder just how much do you actually care for your platform and the Roblox community as a whole. You're the face of one of the biggest games platform out there and a company. It has changed life for developers and impacted everyone, yet have directly affecting them negatively through these recent updates without addressing them directly to us beforehand. It's your job alone to listen to not only your community and communicate, but also make decisions that not only align to your company, but to us as well. This balance is important to get business back on track, but also deepens the trust and connection you will have with the community. This is something I simply want to ask for to not only improve for the company, but also learn how much the community does care for the brand. - Please retire features that donāt align with how it's heading between the community and the company. - Add additional support and help the community when there's something wrong. - Don't rush multiple updates that are clearly haven't been finished, relying solely on AI. I know that you probably wouldn't listen to what I'm saying, but this is very important feedback. I hope you do listen though to the The people I know, whether if they're a Gamer, Developer, and Creator or a Brand. This is something that everyone wants to be proud of saying that we're part of Roblox. I'll be waiting in RDC26 to see your whole visions to see how you'll do.
