Going to add a bit onto the original post...
What's going to happen to games WITHOUT icons, then? No thumbnail on the games page? Like someone else said, this is just a huge inconvenience to anyone who isn't a big-time dev on Roblox. Roblox has been catering to developers so much that every update is now crafted to suit THEM than the rest of the community, and especially anyone trying to make a name for themselves in the community.
Roblox, don't do this. This is one of the worst things you can do right now. Roblox games are not actual games. Roblox is not a gaming platform. It is a tool to be taught Lua. Stop trying to turn it into something else. Please. |

| Well if they like mobile so much why not just update the app instead off the site? |

@nova Yea, they're starting to give this site a mobile look, when the majority of the users are on computers anyway.
They have mobile ads, no? Why can't they make this exclusive to the mobile site? There's plenty of stuff that the mobile version can use, anyway. |

WOW. I guess we are moveing away from computers and laptops to... an appstore of games. Soon there will be a price in robux for each game and when you click on it. It shows the price.

| I actually like this. They aren't very much like appstore icons. |

"Common mobile and web practices in showcasing product will now utilize a square ratio, this helps in condensing multiple observable product horizontally and vertically on a single page as their overall count can increase in number versus a rectangle aspect ratio, also this is a much friendlier mobile ratio used by large mobile hardware providers."
Now, the first sentence is a giveaway that this is geared toward mobile users. It also says it's mobile friendly. The square icons give the vibe of the thumbnails on the app store and the Google Play store. Even the first example looks like some knockoff zombie survival game that you'd find in the store.
@everything else
And like I said before, if they're trying to make the site mobile friendly, then why not just add this to the mobile site instead? I don't see a need to overwrite the thumbnail on the game page on the desktop. The guidelines are also ridiculous. Roblox games are not real games, like I said before.
If a game is centered around, let's say, Smash Bros, or Mario, and is not only based on those games but actually uses those properties and is ABOUT them, then what the heck is the icon supposed to be if we can't even use intellectual properties in our icons? |

| It is good to make website more mobile friendly, while still work on PC, the icons look fine, actually I think it is better then thumbnails. Of course you can still show screenshots, I think it said. The icons are good to have better organizing. It is good idea. |

@Ved
What worries me is that it seems it'll be NECESSARY to have an icon. What's going to appear as a preview if our game has no icon? Will it just have some placeholder image? Because that's simply unjust if we have to make a thumbnail with very strict guidelines just to be able to catch peoples' eyes. It may be more organized for the players, but it still makes things very inconvenient for devs.
How am I going to make an icon for a game centered around the Zelda franchise if I'm not allowed to use any copyrighted logos and material? No way of catching peoples' eyes when they're searching for a game.
And what about old games no longer being updated? Screw them I guess, lol. Roblox never seems to care about breaking games more than a month old. |

| It would probably be thumbnail sized different, or like with thumbnails when you leave game buliding, it puts screenshot of it. |

| Hopefully, but the square ratio would leave it squashed anyway. |

the shading exceptions will turn many good RPGs that focus on the dark in their thumbnails to complete rubbish
