Re: I like ROBLOX's choice not to have a Winter Games hub

For those who don't remember, last year the Winter Games had a hub that linked to Winter Games places via place teleportation. It was a neat concept and a noble experiment, but was laggy and inefficient. It seems to me that the devs are bypassing the hub system, therefore outsourcing the Winter Games to ROBLOX developers.

I think it's real neat that they're doing this. 2014 has been a year of empowering game creators, and we're finally seeing that take place with ROBLOX-wide events. Instead of having popular developers make specific snow-oriented games like last year's Winter Games, admins are simply endorsing popular places with incentives of hat prizes.

Admins no longer have a hand in the Winter Games, and instead we're seeing developers like Gusmanak add new content to fit the Winter Games. The Winter Games are empowering developers, which to me is very exciting to see. We saw something similar with the Thanksgiving scavenger hunt thing, but this is real fun to think about, especially when you consider how this also brings attention and popularity to games made by the community.


Just thought I'd point that out.

This years winter games suck. Don't compare it to last year. Last year beats this year by far

Can we keep bumping this? I'm hoping I'll be noticed by a forum moderator and be hired to write in the ROBLOX blog.

Only staff members write in the blog. You just made yourself look like a fool asking for a job "working on the blog".

Note, never ask to work at ROBLOX

The hub was cool. They should make one for people to hang out but not make it so that you have to join.

And what is this new content they added? Nothing is new. Not against the games, but they aren't exactly new or refreshing like last year.

Couldn't have said it better myself.


Perhaps the greatest fear, is fear itself.

I said that jokingly, Telemus. (That being said if you were going to offer me a job, don't worry I'm still interested)

I know the admins didn't make the games last year, they were made by developers. That was more of a "make a winter game that looks and plays like this", these Winter Games are actually endorsing games made and enjoyed by the community. By allowing game developers to add their own Winter Games flair, the competition is being put in the hands of the community, which is a lot of fun.

@people asking what the difference is
Last year everything was winter themed. Now it's pretty much all over the place with games that just added snow and call itself a winter update

What flair? Recoloring the map? Nothing is new. The devs in these games could, and should add their own events without these hats as they might even be better. i.e R2D
