Okay, here is my Problem, ROBLOX and MINECRAFT are two different games, but why is there Minecraft everywhere here? Seriously, this makes no sense, are we just going to let that happen, so Roblox can turn into a MINECraft Fanclub? NO! This needs to stop now!

My Suggestion is that you you be-rid Roblox of the MINECraft games. Just get rid of them, it is poisoning the community, It also takes up a third of what could be really fun games on the front page.

Please support, or not, but please explain.

Roblox does not get rid of user-made content unless said content is against roblox's morals.

When the creators get sued, it's thier fault.

Support. It's kinda like copyright if you ask me. If you want to make a building game, go ahead but it does not need to be named "Minecraft". Name it something like " Building with friends" it would be better then copying a game already made.

Okay, look. ROBLOX is a game to create what you want to create, not following any guidelines. So, they let their imagination go wild. And, they happen to like Mineraft, thus wanting to spread their likeness of Minecraft to others, which is why they make a Minecraft game, so others can know he likes it and to spread the awareness of Minecraft. Taking away Minecraft games would be like taking away COD games. Also, they didn't patent any of their ideas. They didn't patent Terrain-Generation, didn't patent a scroll-bar inventory. Didn't patent a hold-TAB-to-view-players. So, if it's not patented, then others can take it. Also, just don't play Minecraft games if you don't like them.


And, it's not poisoning the community. It does not take up a third of games. Most people do know have that programming power to do so. And, also, a lot of Minecrafters play ROBLOX (Or used to) as well. Also, in Gary's Mod, there are Minecraft servers, and they don't ban it. In fact, they have a sections for Minecraft servers. GMod is based off imagination, and they welcome other forms of imagination. We're based of imagination, and we're gonna limit it to only ROBLOX based imagination? No.

I think it would be easier for the admins to add a special search filter in the games list, where you can list game names that you don't want to see in the Games page.

Rather than removing them and creating chaos by people who like playing those games.

A lot of games are ruining other games. What makes ROBLOX's and Minecraft's case so important?

Well, that's because the community is being ruined in ROBLOX. One reason why the community in ROBLOX and Minecraft are so different is because Minecraft is more active within the community, and will personally respond to suggestions that you posted on their official site for it.

In ROBLOX, they don't read their suggestions. And, even if they do, they do the complete opposite of what everyone wants. They're making it more mainstream, and the users rather not change aesthetics, but add new features that the game really needs.

Are you telling me any kid on this site that would actually be willing has enough ability to copy it to the point that it infringes on copyright laws? Hardly. These games have 1,000 lines of code - max - whilst the games they copy go past 100,000. Just because someone creates a shooter game that shares crudely constructed 3D models intended to resemble the same gun doesn't mean that it is copied either. Else, THQ could sue Activision because the newest Call of Duty takes weapons that were common in Homefront.

Regardless of that, there are two rather good reasons why it should continue. The first being cost. Not everyone has the money to buy Halo, Call of Duty, or even Minecraft. Recreating it on ROBLOX in a simpler form is one way to allow people to by-pass the cost restriction legally - by playing a free game rather than pirating it.

The second, of course, happens to be that lots of the games are profane in both their multi-player and single-player campaigns. Certainly the parent of the average ROBLOXian wouldn't want their children affected by such thing. And whilst I may vehemently disagree with this mindset, I still agree that until this ends children shouldn't have their lives bleed dry of whatever entertainment they could enjoy just because of their parents' dogma, insanity, or otherwise.

All-in-all there isn't a single reason I can think of that should stop users here from creating a fan-made rendition of their favourite game. It just doesn't make sense at all.

I'm going to quote/paraphrase a statement by Google on Apple's excessive use of patents. All right. Here we go.

*Ahem*

We arent minecraft I mean I do like minecraft yes but, I think roblox and mnecraft are two different games here are my reasons,

Roblox:
1. Roblox is a building game with tons of games FPS, Obby's Etc
2. Roblox lets you customise your character with hats weapons etc

Minecraft:
1. Minecraft is a survival game you look for food kill off the mobs etc
2. It is much harder to get onto servers and play with your friends

(Please dont hate these are some of my reasons on how they are different games)

I'm not going to hate on you, but there's a mistake in your post:

Roblox isn't a game.

YEP GUYS, I JUST SAID THAT.
You can't compare minecraft to roblox because minecraft IS A GAME and roblox IS NOT.

Roblox is a GAME-MAKING TOOL.

Roblox is a tool, minecraft is a game.
You really can't compare which one is better as a game, because roblox isn't a game and thus cannot be compared.
Or which one is better as a tool because minecraft is not a tool thus cannot be compared.

Which is hilarious because you've just opened up a Pandora's box to anyone who actually wants to criticise ROBLOX, now. *cough cough* CryEngine 3 *cough cough*.
