Posting a separate thread because that's already a 7 page mess.
The thing is... You can still have the games be fun while gathering revenue. Hell, I'm sure the sponsors would be more effective if they actually put effort into making a decent game for them instead of just shunting it off to this week's trendy dev and going, "Make a scavenger hunt by next week."
One quote in particular caught my attention-
"All of those things create a better experience for all of us! Yes, we lose traditional events of the past, but the actual ROBLOX platform as a whole is improved as a result."
Does the actual ROBLOX platform being improved help most community members? Not directly. You could argue that they're helping the devs and by extension the community, but...
They're not. The front page games are still the same 7 games or so, with the occasional false thumbnail designed to lure in little kids. If ROBLOX wants to improve the platform, they could actually try making the damn building system more intuitive.
"It's important to think about the long-term impacts that these events have, not just the immediate things that you see from them right away. In the long run, they are beneficial to ROBLOX as a whole. The traditional events were certainly fun, but they didn't provide any real benefits to ROBLOX."
This is a particularly annoying quote. When you have a game, it's about having fun. Not everything has to have some greater meaning or purpose. ROBLOX is a company, and they need money. We all know this. But is alienating the veterans of your userbase really helpful?
Summary: Sponsorships can still be fun. ROBLOX has a games team, so why don't they utilize that games team? I really don't think they need a new sponsored event every month. Nobody wants them, seriously. At one point you said "the current way was much more efficient-" that may be true, but it's also completely and absolutely abysmal.
Sometimes I think progress progresses too fast. |

| I totally agree. I think sponsorships should not get in the way of a holiday. |

roblox already makes money or are you going to tell me they paid for servers/staff from 2006-2011 out of their own pocket |

He didn't like the old events because he wasn't making money.
Yes, ROBLOX was a thing in 2004 (Dynablocks)

Roblox just cares more about money than effort

He isn't a fool, he is prioritizing the company ahead of the playerbase
Not saying I like this approach but it's wise

@xcrazed oh yeah, the company matters infinitely more than us. there really is nothing we can do about it.
it's an example of what happens without competition. ROBLOX makes horrible decisions that anger the entire community again and again, but nobody's going to leave because there aren't really any alternatives |
