Yeah but you shouldn't force people into using the new method and as joe said there are still fun classic games people play that may have used them that don't work anymore.

Yeah it's not that HopperBins have been useless for six years and have been deprecated for maybe four.

It's that they want to break old games.

Also, you clearly have no idea what the word deprecated means. They won't break it on purpose, but they also aren't responsible for keeping it working in the future and recommend against using it.

I'm entirely sure that Roblox isn't intentionally breaking old games. The old engine is just a product of its time and presence; a program made by a few dweebs in a garage.

Now that the engine is much different from 10 years ago you can't expect everything to be in working order. A lot of things were broken as a result of trying to fix other things or streamline the game more.

I'm so used to rocrap removing stuff to break old games that when I hear "deprecated", I think of an old feature that got removed

"Yeah it's not that HopperBins have been useless for six years and have been deprecated for maybe four."
And so has :remove(). Hopperbins aren't being removed, rocrap is just making it so they can't be equipped. Coincidence :)


I'm sure it's just a coincidence that rocrap has changed and removed many features in the past 2 years (and never before that) that COINCIDENTALLY mostly affects old games
- Old terrain removed
- Crappy new physics
- LinkedSource broken
- InsertService broken 2 or 3 or 4 times
- Hopperbins disabled
- Some rbxlibrary change that broke Galleons
I can't even keep up with all the changes

'Crappy new physics'

Ah yes I remember when we had good and solid realistic physics that would make you go flying across the map if you bumped into something the wrong way. /s

They don't purposefully break old games, if they wanted to do that they would remove all deprecated methods

Why not just not deprecate anything at all if they dont want to break old games? So people who prefer old style roblox games can still play.

If you actually think deprecation is bad I pity you.
Deprecation is there to stop api bloating. Every one of these methods and functions take more time to compile, and make the overall engine much larger.

Once something is deprecated, it's put into a "limbo" state to where if it ever breaks, even if accidentally, it'll be removed instead of updated.

This, in turn, removes the api bloat, reduces file size, simplifies the engine, and makes things easier for developers.
*Competent* developers.

The reason Roblox deprecates certain methods is to modernize their platform.

Think of it like a revolution. Old customs are replaced with newer ones to benefit a cause.

But there are lots of people who enjoy classic Roblox. Shouldn't people be given a choice instead of forced along with the "Modernisation"

It's still the same thing...why would you want to enjoy "classic Roblox" when you could enjoy the same stuff only faster and more efficient

Yes but wouldn't it please everyone if there was a choice? Instead of forcing it upon people. Some people just dont want that believe it or not.
