Don't they get it? We're tired of sponsored stuff, and you don't NEED to sponsor stuff. Don't you make plenty of money already?
Or if you're going to sponsor something, can't you actually have a game that MAKES SENSE for the sponsorship? Like, if it were Hot wheels or something like that, have a racing game for the prizes. Or like the KREO battleship game (I loved that one), or the zootopia game. |

I'm sorry, would you like to pay for the thousands of servers that ROBLOX has to pay for 24/7? ROBLOX has tripled in size in the past year and they're going to need more money than ever to sustain the company.

| They do make money but they will need constant money from users to run all of the servers |

| Sadly, the people at the roblox company, are more than likely never going to make an un-sponsored event. I am absolutely fine with sponsored events, but NOT when it is yearly event such as Hallows Eve or the holidays, ruined by their greed for money. Just look at last Hallows Eve and ask yourself, "Why would roblox ruin such events that had potential to be amazing." Who actually wants a damn nerf sponsored HALLOWEEN EVENT. Just shows how greedy nerf is too. Yet they can't even get 1 damn event un-sponsored. Just pitiful. Why don't they just have a sponsored EXTRA event, while having un-sponsored events that made the old days of roblox great. MAKE ROBLOX GREAT AGAIN! |

@badly There was a Nerf sponsored event a long time ago too lol... Like 2008ish I think there was an even with Nerf laser tag. It's still a game to this day.
The Nerf event was decent... But it got really boring. Seriously, after five rounds of shooting zombies, I was like "all we do is go in circles! What's the point if you never advance to another level, etc?"
KREO battleship and the transformers event were amazing... The AI still stands up in its scripting to this day.
Tmnt event had great hats.
Yes, I'd definitely say they had better events back then....
Also, about the holiday stuff, what happened to those beautiful holiday site themes they used to have?<3 |

At least we can wear hats that are exclusive to events like the 2013 egg hunt and show them off. My favourite hat from the egg hunts is the watermelon one. |

@elv I suppose, though some hats are temporary... And I have no idea what to do with all my eggs from the 2012 egg hunt other than use them to bounce over walls (if you drop a hat down perfectly it will make your character bounce upwards, especially with egg hats).
@star
We're not greedy. We're asking for something original for once. You have no idea what it's like. Why should I be thankful for some sponsored crap? It'd be better off to not have that event at all. |

@Star In really not going to argue here.
They don't need sponsorships. They have done fine without them in the past, why would they need them now? They don't. The reason there are sponsorships is because the company getting sponsored wants money, and Roblox gets money by them asking if they could be sponsored in an event.
The devs play a long because they are devs, though sometimes they aren't always involved in it. It depends on when Roblox asks them. And honestly, it's the SAME devs every time... At least, most of the time. Why don't they choose different devs? They've done that before too, but again, they don't do it often, and they don't always ask the devs who are clearly against developer sponsor games (like clonetrooper).
Also, I wasn't asking for hats at all. I simply said that Roblox should at least put some care into their events. Does this event currently even have medals/ awards?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Because I remember quite clearly that what made the winter games fun back in 2014 was the fact that they had medals. |

The real reason they will never do another- Roblox wants to make Roblox fully user made. They want US to be creative and have fun with friends. They said themselves. It's not really about us. It's about the community. They need the money to run our servers. Servers aren't cheap you know. That's why it's restricted so non members can only have one running at a time. Roblox would have to be rich to keep this site up. The people pay Roblox to sponsor them, and with the extra money, they make the prizes that they hand out. Of course they can't give a Dominus. A fedora of any type for free would be a true treat, in that sense. For the summer games this year, they had NO retextures. You may say the medal, but in 2014, the medals were square, not round. ;3

@fighter I'm aware they want us to be creative, unfortunately, a lot of what they ask the devs to do isn't. The devs don't make anything event themed.
The closest thing event themed in this event is the soccer game. All other games don't have anything to do with the olympics!
Also, Roblox makes money in plenty of other ways. They also rely heavily on sponsors now to get people to join the game, compared to the use of advertisements which used to run rampant throughout many sites.

| AFIAK the zootopia event at least had its own game. But I agree with the sponsors having their own specialized maps. So sick of the dumb high school and pizzeria based events. |

^^ I didn't check out the zootopia one, but I heard it was so amazing it got kept up as a game of its own under a different name.
Same as the KREO battleship one (from 2012), it's just under the name battleship now.
I'm definitely sick of the pizza based events. I once regarded that game as a classic that was peaceful because nobody played it very much anymore and it was easy and okay to play that kept its simplistic qualities... Now it's an event fest.
Also, as I said earlier, the reason clonetrooper never has dev sponsored events on his games is because he refuses them. He's only done one as far as I know, and from what I heard he quoted that it "ruined the aspect and objectives of the games".
Then we've got super bomb survival, which always tries to save events, but apparently since the sponsorships require certain things, he can't spin it off in his own ways.
Roblox says they do it so we create our own stuff, but they don't. Roblox still gets the money in the end, and is pretty controlling over how the dev events are set up. |

| What if they make their own games but they're sponsored? That'd be nice. Things that actually have to do with what's being sponsored. |
