TL:DR Version: The title.
It suddenly came to me. ROBLOX games can be, and are very popular. But, you need internet to play any game, even if an un-copylocked "Play Solo" option was available.
So, as usual, a light-bulb blinked. What if you could download any game as a ".rbxl" file that ROBLOX Local Player could launch for you? For example, this scenario:
Person A is about to lose internet. But, "The Witching Hour" was just made a few days before internet goes away. So, he "downloads" The Witching Hour onto his ROBLOX Local Player. As Person A waits for his internet to come back, he can run a local copy of the game to pass the time.
This is the end of the idea. What do you think?
If you don't like it, please post in a constructive and positive manner or suggest to improve upon the idea. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. |

TrueGamer,
HOW COULD THEY PROGRAM A VIRUS INTO THEIR PLACE THAT ACTUALLY GETS ON YOUR COMPUTER |

| It has to be encrypted with some type of signature so that you can't steal it. |

I would, say support but that would not help I need a truth of why they did not implant this in the last update..
Personally ROBLOX is a virus on it's own sometimes with the ip tracker. |

@Nonsupporters
Seriously? As I was asleep? Time to address the lot of you.
@ryan10021
Where do they mention trying to implement this? BLOXcon?
@TrueGamer1337
ROBLOX is not a virus. The quicker you realize that, the better.
@formulation
Yeah, if they are as big as Witching Hour, which they're not most of the time.
@Everyone
Now then, back to the positives.
@slmnemo
Your add-on was implemented. |

| No support. There are some games that require internet access to run some of the scripts, and thus it could break the game. |

Tons of other features broke people's games online. How would this be any different? The creator should learn to adapt and use Local Scripts. |

| Support. This would be good for long trips by car. You just open up your laptop and whoosh, play games on the drive.. (Suggested NOT to play while driving) |

| Gotta say, this is one of the MOST seemingly good and might be possible suggestion I've seen here. I would love to have "download" of a playable file BUT not editable or reuploadable form as that might be exploitable in two ways. Basically make it only a playable form and I would support. |

@Nairb I wrote and i'll quote;
"I need a truth of why they did not implant this in the last update.." meaning they should have cause of ROBLOX is pretty much a virus of it's own with it's IP tracker meaning whenever you get on their site it tracks your IP...
Seemingly you can put a virus in a games coding, with a script injection so why not? ROBLOX is basically one big virus program.

| Nairb, how many people do you think will want to optimize their games just so you can play without internet? They'd have to rewrite the whole thing. Also, some games REQUIRE network access. No support at all for this. |

@ryan10021
Read "@TrueGamer1337". If not that, then ROBLOX is not a virus. Sane game creators would get dislikes from infecting people's computers if otherwise. Only bad game-makers would get a reputation for carrying viruses, just like in Real Life.
@Z007
1. Remind me to repeat what you said the next time you make an idea, to see how it feels.
2. Bad game creators cannot adapt, so I don't expect them to optimize for local play. So I nullified the "everyone" logic that caused you to bury your head in the sand. |

@anyone who thinks it can be a virus
No, for viruses to run properly, they need to be written in a coding language with the ability to access computer files, such as C++. You cannot make your game out of C++ or any other language capable of infecting your computer, therefor the problem does not exist.
@anyone arguing it takes up space Downloading it is a personal choice, complaining that someone choosing to use a feature is a reason to not have a feature is not a valid reason to not implement it. (Unless the OP meant for it to be required, in which case I do not support)
@OP
There would need to be a way to prevent stealing the game, such as some from of encryption like someone else mentioned. |

Not required. If you don't like the Place, don't download it, and it won't take up space. |

Well... I only see two problems with this:
1) People could play through games with no competition and find out secrets/hidden areas. Not sure about this one, maybe you could just join at night or something.
2) People could hack games more easily. Especially if it downloads as a .rxbl file.
Other than that, it's good, and I'd like to see it. Just needs some tweaking, I'm not sure how we'd get around these issues. |

| And it couldn't be a virus... ROBLOX is sandboxed. Scripts cannot affect the rest of your computer unless you count crash scripts. |
