From my last check, there were 7 tycoons on the front page. There's more and more of them appearing, some leave and some come back. These Tycoons provide nothing but the same old experience one of these tycoon kits provides. They are extremely simple waiting games for you to collect cash to buy parts of a building and then you are done.

These tycoons also have the nerve to have multiple developer products to buy in game cash for people who just want to beat it, but beating it doesn't provide any kind of reward. I know I'm not satisfied by beating these games. A few of these also have a game pass for infinite money, which doesn't make any sense for a tycoon, that means you pay to win. What fun is this?

How do these get so popular? Are these that fun? ROBLOX has so much potential to make amazing games and I'm currently working on a few but these tycoon games are destroying the quality of games because they only care about the R$. This forum also has a lot of people wanting a tycoon because they know it's an easy way to make money.

Stop making Tycoons, unless you are making a tycoon that is well scripted and not using a model kit and it puts the quality of the game before money. This is insane that we got to this point.

Discuss below, end the leeches that keep taking and only giving these tycoon games and play the games and promote the good games that might not be known yet.

the only decent tycoon is miners haven because the creator is actually putting time into it

Those are fine, so is Lumber Tycoon and others like it. We have reached a point that people are putting money first and quality last. They do whatever is trendy and what will make the most and not what they care about, or want to make to improve games on ROBLOX.

I think that you are assuming your opinion is that of all the other Robloxians. They wouldn't have such a following if every one agreed with you. Some of them certainly use deceptive techniques to get players and sell products. Some do steal graphics and games from other people and then use tricks to get to the front page. But this doesn't mean that every tycoon on the front page or ROBLOX in general doesn't have as much effort put into it as any other game. You might not like it because you simply don't like that game style, but a lot of others do and they certainly don't mind spending money on them. You don't give enough credit to these (legitimate) tycoon makers who manage to get successful with what you consider to be a basic game. I would say that it's a shame for some developers who make console quality games, but can't manage to achieve the success that most tycoons get. While tycoons should be curated and inspected for original graphics, and assets.

Lumber Tycoon and tycoons that have developers that care are good games. Not the current trend we are seeing with games like "YouTube Factory Tycoon", "Donut Factory Tycoon". I like a good tycoon game but when there's more and more of these same old games then the genre becomes hurt. This is my opinion and there's many who share it, It's your right not to agree with me and thank you for posting your view on this.

Maybe I'm just a bitter old man about this but when Tycoons have so many developer products and game passes and some game passes are for infinite money. The question arises, are they doing this just for money or doing it because of making a good game? Making money isn't a bad thing but when it's the only focus or the number one focus then it is.

No one serious is here to make games for free. You make a product which could basically be what ever you want. Every one has the right to choose if they purchase it or not, even if it's infinite money or a free model, regardless of the cost. If you're purpose on here is to make showcases then good for you, but some great this as an excellent platform for making some extra cash on the side. If they do it following the ROBLOX rules then I really don't see why they can't do it. Peoples' time is worth some thing, no matter how bad of a game job they do.

But all of these tycoons that are using false thumbnails, front page glitches, and other deceptive techniques should be removed. Personally a lot of those tycoons have sprung up with my gamepass icons and it's annoying. But this should be very carefully implemented as to not cause problems with legitimate tycoons.

If you aren't allowed to Dev Ex, you shouldn't be allowed to create games. This is the case in many of these phishing games.

BE THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE.

If you don't like seeing these cheaply-made games populating the front page, make something that appeals to their playerbase.

These amateur developers continue to make these public model tycoons because it is profitable for them to do so: they get loads of players, and a number of these players even decide they want to pay for the ingame bonuses that are offered.

I'm currently working on somethings to try to push the level of games. I believe there should be stricter rules about using false thumbnails, changing the name of the game for click bait.

--

One thing I have also noticed, with Sinister Studio, they tend to remove games from their list. They made that volcano raft game and that's gone and that had game passes, etc. Developers who do this on purpose and for making the most money shouldn't be allowed to develop here. Developers who deceive and use their player base is wrong and should be punished.

There are aleardy stricter rule against bait title and thumbnail , most of them get banned because of other offenses such as use of other works.

This is why most tycoon popularity end within a week. (Go see most tycoon change all time)

Sinister Studio seems to be doing practices that I already reported them for, which involves creating a tycoon or game and get it super popular and then end it. They have done this to Build a Raft and go down a Volcano, Gear Factory Tycoon, Beach Factory Tycoon and possibly more. They get all the robux and then shut down that game and move on and the people keep buying these game passes. Doing this on purpose should get the group banned.

All of these phishing game groups should be removed, and their funds removed. Any one who got large quantities of money from those groups obviously should be punished as well.

It seems to be a problem, they seem to only care about money and not players on ROBLOX due to them closing games and opening new games.
