One of my friends had his game completely taken off the Roblox algorithm because of Roblox's most recent update.
From 30 CCU straight to 0. Small developers are ruined. With very few games, this was absolutely detrimental to his income.
This wasn't just some low-effort slop either. There was plenty of effort put into level design. People loved the game. Just because it's a small game, doesn't mean it's bad, and it doesn't mean it should be completely abolished from the algorithm.
Roblox has constantly taken heat for bad changes recently, especially targeted towards developers. I've defended a lot of these changes despite community backlash. But this one is bad - possibly the WORST change Roblox has made in years.
It might be time to start moving away from Roblox.

ALT Screenshot of a Roblox Creator Dashboard 'Audience Reach' page for 'Extreme Wall Hop Obby.' A header notes the experience's access to audience segments depends on publishing status, content rating, safety evaluation, parental controls, and regional rules. A highlighted box reads 'Ages 16+ and trusted friends — Content maturity restrictions apply.' Under 'Account reach,' Publishing reach is set to 'All ages' with a Manage button. Under 'Experience reach,' the content rating is 'Minimal' (Fear and Violence, Occasional/Mild) with a View questionnaire button. Refundable publishing fee shows 'Not available.' At the bottom, 'Highly engaged players' shows 'Not eligible,' with text on how indicators like play history, account age, and spending confirm authentic interactions. A progress bar reads 335 out of 500.

Really hope they talk with some respected community members and reconsider this. This feels like an absolute killshot to newer creators trying to break into the platform.
A huge number of today’s top creators got where they are by being able to build communities across all kinds of age groups. Requiring developers to hit a threshold like this just to unlock access to nearly 80% of the audience is an insane expectation, especially when even many AA studios struggle to consistently maintain 500 to 1000 active paying players.

These are the things I'd recommend to fix the "Highly Engaged Players" Roblox Update:
Facts:
- Roblox target audience is majority kids
- Forcing a game to get players from outside the target audience to "approve" the game is a major logic issue
Roblox is either legally required to make these changes or they are doing this due to the rumored botting problem..
My recommend changes:
- Lower 16+ to 13+
- Lower 500 to 50 engaged players
- Have the algorithm prioritize games with engaged players rather than not letting people play at all
With these recommended changes, new games by young developers will have a much better chance of succeeding. What you do guys think?

It’s gone up by 10 🙃
Despite being up 10,000 visits
and btw, “Highly engaged players” are based on their platform stats, so your game stats have no impact

ROBLOX, THESE ARE ALL THE GAMES YOU ARE LEAVING BEHIND WITH YOUR AMAZING UPDATE! EVERY GAME POSTED ON THE PAGE, ALL OF THEM. PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR UPDATE.

A few days ago, Roblox released a "Highly Engaged Players" requirement, which is a system that uses factors like play history, account age, etc.. to verify authentic users.
In this example, ~$370 in spend only resulted in 70/500 eligible players which is horrible.

Rcently checked my Roblox dashboard and on roughly 150 games I have access to, I saw ~25 games meeting that requirement. Keep in mind that those 150 games have at least a good amount of CCU (50-100+).
I have never seen such a horrid change. This serves no purpose at all and is made solely to kill games. I decided to speak on it hoping to convice other fellow creators to do the same and make this useless update go in the trash.
Roblox, please refrain from actually pushing this update. 🙏

Spending 370$ only gets you this many engaged players for your Roblox game
This is tragic 💀
Avento retweeted
For one of our brand new games we just launched I have spent $370 on ads and we only have 70 out of 500, despite having 30k+ visits.
The average dev is genuinely cooked 💀

Unless Roblox walks this back, I might have to leave the platform.
This change kills our ability to publish to < 16 for new games. Getting 500 "active" (likely fiat-spending) 16+ players in one go is borderline impossible if you're not a big company with a lot of resources.
If you own a Roblox game that has fewer than 100 active users in 60 days, anyone under the age of 16 will no longer be able to play.
Creators can regain this ability if the game gains 500 active players in another 60 days.
