There was absolutely nothing wrong with automatically generated thumbnails. (not set manually)
If anything, it gave users an idea of what they were playing. Now you have to play games based on title alone if they haven't been updated recently.
For example, let's look at a quick search of the keyword "Halloween" in the games page:
https://www.roblox.com/catalog/501755654/White-Sword-Cane
Notice how you have absolutely no idea as to what the games look like.
This update was completely useless and does nothing other than make the games page look uglier and as bland as possible.
Unless, an industrial cesspool of repetitive, irrelevant, and lack of creativity is the look you are going for.

| Half support. The thumbnails have the logo slapped on them, and are misleading. However, you can still change it to your save generated thumbnail for free. |

| @Daily Older games left out of repair (or with deleted creators) will always have that same, bland thumbnail. It is obviously an attempt at getting users to buy Robux in order to afford ### thumbnail, but it is pointless. |

| Right, I forgot about older games. But users can switch back to their old thumbnail for free, right? |

@Daily
Not the same thumbnail.
It is a "randomly generated" thumbnail.
I've had game thumbnails completely changed, and I am not okay with paying money to adjust them.
It is very possible that there are MILLIONS of old games left with this generic, misleading, and bland thumbnail.

Of course, that is possible.
But you are forgetting old games, games with deleted owners, etc.

| Yeah, that's true. I'm not quite sure what to say about that. I don't exactly have a solution for that. Still, half support. |

Support. ROBLOX Bans us for using misleading thumbnails, yet their default thumbnails are misleading.

| Support. I agree these changes can be reverted. However, there are older games that either are inactive in updates, banned or creators whom quit. |

WNTS. This is a big update applied to all games.
Plus, it's not that hard to change it back to the original.
No support.
Roblox is finally advancing.

@Those not supporting
It is obvious that you are oblivious to the old games/games with deleted creators, etc that CANT change back the thumbnail.

At the very least, acknowledge the older games/deleted creators before saying it is "easy to change back" - because that doesn't mean it's even still POSSIBLE or going to happen.

| Support. The point of the update was to make thumbnails safer by removing inappropriate thumbnails, but how does it make is safer when you have no window to what the game looks like and now you can't see the game without joining it? Those bad games will never be weeded out and will always stay hidden. Most of the games with auto generated thumbnails didn't have inappropriate thumbnails so there was no reason to replace them all with default thumbnails. Please revert this update Roblox. |

the fact that roblox was just lazy and didn't make an approval process for automatically generated thumbnails
this could have been easily prevented if they did the opposite of what i said above 👀 |
