I don't understand the 'new' Thumbnails

And I acknowledge the lateness of this, but I really don't understand the reason behind updating all the thumbnails to images falsely representing what the game actually is -- especially if the user is no longer active in order to change the thumbnail to something else.

These games no longer have any attracting qualities because I don't know what is in them anymore without visiting them first to see. That just seems, to me, that it defeats the purpose of even having a thumbnail. I can understand if it was updating thumbnails to remove possibly offensive content, but there's just a lack of communication when it comes to updates these days.

If there is any sort of stated reason >why< it was done and that there was some sort of pressing cause for making the change I can understand, but when you don't communicate it makes it hard to know why you are doing what it is that you are doing? And if there already exists some explanation I didn't know about I'd be happy to be directed to it.

you don't need to moderate ingame icons/thumbnails if there are none

I believe it was so Roblox can make their thumbnails look better and more modern rather than just having a view from a thing that's in the game. If they want to make a thumbnail for their game, they can make one. It's really no big deal.

I understand the want to make things look better across the site, but I don't understand why that requires changing the thumbnails of games to misrepresent what they actually contain?

And again, for those users who no longer update their game and have left Roblox, their games get the same generic thumbnail rather than retaining their previous appearance. It doesn't make sense to me why it was done, except like mentioned above the "not having to moderate" aspect of it all.
