OPERATION C.A.M.E.R.A
(Completely And Meticulously Erase Roblox Away)
...or, Why Roblox Cannot Be Saved
It's been made clear one thing: You cannot save Roblox. No matter what boycotts you do, no matter what actions you pull, you cannot save this platform. It was already doomed when 2023 rolled around, and it will forever be doomed to live a life where it will continuously rot until it dies.
Now I don't like being a debbie downer, "a doomer" if you will, someone who typically just sees the worst in situations.. but, I can't in good faith, recommend this platform anymore, especially when they pulled these actions:
- They've practially refused to ban any troublesome people, leaving them still on the platform to perform their heinous stunts, including actual criminals on the platform that has done actual crimes.
- They've banned the people who are attempting to take down said troublesome people because supposedly that would ruin the economy, something that's already happening as we speak, including innocent people who have nothing to do with said actions.
- They've banned an innocent YouTuber off their platform because they were doing the right thing for said platform, causing a now month-long lawsuit that if won could potentially ruin off a lot more of their economy.
- They've started planning to remove every face that DOESN'T move, potentially making everyone's avatars faceless, until they, begrudgingly, switch to the crappy dynamic faces (and btw, if they're plannin' to do this, they might planning to go even further than this, for all we know, R6 could be shelved, classic shirts could experience the same ordeal)..
and then when all seemed dark, Roblox pulled a stunt dangerous enough to kill it's own potential playerbase.
Much like YouTube, age verification was applied.
..and just like YouTube, leaving something as important as guessing people's ages to apply benefits or restrictions to an AI is a surefire way to break the trust of millions of people.
..Except unlike YouTube, where you could only watch non age-restricted videos, if you were hit with this restriction, your account was basically muted. You couldn't chat at all, which essentially made roleplay and games that heavily relied on chat functions useless. To them, this is just one step in many to attempt to "protect the children", when in all reality.. to us, they're making it easier for disgusting people to perform disgusting things, and stemming from this update, we've seen entire disappearances of children. CHILDREN ARE DISAPPEARING BECAUSE OF THIS UPDATE.
The worst part: They could go further, and there is evidence of them doubling down.
..They could censor something other than just chat via this system.
..They could completely butcher Roblox Studio access.
You might not even be able to access Roblox Studio anymore, without giving up your ID or selfie.
Folks, as much as I don't want to believe this is the case, and I don't like saying things like this because it makes me seem like I really want it to happen, this might be the end of Roblox. With no chat to go to, people ARE going to start leaving in troves.
It's over. We can't save the platform. No one can. There's nothing left TO save.
People are leaving, history is slowly being wiped from the platform, chat is slowly becoming silent, and the nefarious people now have full reign on what happens on this platform. We don't have a choice in the matter, but to destroy what's left. We must finally let this platform die. We all need to perform an exodus. The March 1st "1 week" boycott isn't gonna be enough for them to change their minds.. because it isn't one. We all need to quit for good.
So, how does one leave Roblox using this method?
Well, that's where Operation C.A.M.E.R.A comes into play: this method isn't just meant to blackout the platform, it's to kill what's left of it that's alive. I've come to the realization that none of us can fix what has been made irreversibly broken. This method should hopefully put it out of it's misery.
The following steps are simple:
- If you are a developer, download everything you have in there, migrate all of your projects to a better engine.. and then, close everything in your Roblox Studio. Close your games for the foreseeable future, so that no one can play it anymore. This may reduce your profits, but it will also reduce the amount of people playing your game, which will also reduce the amount of people playing Roblox in general. For your better engine, I'd highly suggest moving over to Godot, as it's surprisingly very quick to adapt to once you've done so. Some people on Reddit has even said that Godot's multiplayer support is nearly close to Roblox's own multiplayer support. Regardless, doing this will help with bringing down one pillar of the game.
- If you're a player, a veteran, or you've just closed your developer stuff, here comes the part you might end up not liking: Abandon your account. Do not delete your entire account, as this will cause their database space to free up. We need to fill it as much as possible while not using the platform in general, so that they cannot repair their services. Abandoning the platform may sound harsh, but they can't stop us from performing an exodus on the entire platform. This is the only way to monumentally hurt their profits. Before you abandon your account for the foreseeable future however, do whatever you can to save your memories, screenshot or screen record your avatar, or transform your avatar into a 3D model that you can use outside of the game via this tutorial. Regardless, after this, you must leave your account for good. Leave everything you've ever done in the platform behind after you're done. Forget your password too while you're at it so that you may never log in again. This will help with bringing down the second pillar of the game.
- Urge others to do the same. Link this Rentry across any social media of your choosing. Reply to others with this Rentry, and tell them that Roblox isn't worth saving anymore. Tell them to join the cause. Tell your favorite YouTubers to stop making content related to Roblox. This may hurt their revenue, but it will most definitely hurt Roblox's profits more. Besides, YouTube has already been hurting Roblox YTers in terms of profit, so what else is there that's left to lose? This will take down their third and final pillar and force them into making a decision. A decision that hopefully will be in our favor. (Or in case they make the nuclear option apparent)
- Now that you've left behind your Roblox account, there's actually a place that welcomes you more than they do: Polytoria! A Roblox parallel with around 100k people, and while it's not as massive as Roblox, it's a place that actually likes you a lot more than Roblox would ever like you. You may switch to there, however, there are a lot of other games that you may switch to, like Garry's Mod, etc, etc. Regardless of such, think of this as your nuclear bunker, just in case this tutorial actually does manage to force Roblox into performing the nuclear option.
These are but a few ways to get them to listen. Remember, this platform isn't worth saving. They've gone too far. It's time to switch over and leave the past behind, because whatever is about to happen next, it may very well result in one of those hoaxes becoming true.
Leave before something even more drastic happens.
