[Not OP, copied text] PROTEST. Roblox Blackout

Roblox is refusing the input of all us developers, but not just us developers, the players too.
Roblox is ignoring the people that let it exist, the only reason they can function as a company is because of us, and because of this, I propose a blackout.
It may have not worked in other historical examples, but on other sites they didn’t need the developers to function, only the users.
This is the platform roblox wanted, so we must show them what happens to platforms when they’re like this.
Give them the same silence they give us, give them it until they listen.

The Proposal

The team create change will take effect March, so how about we beat them to the goalpost?

March 1st, shutdown your games for one week. Put gamepasses off sale, don’t let anyone patronize Roblox. Make players rowdy, make shareholders scared.

The only thing we need is media coverage. I know I may just be one person, but we need to band together. Tell your friends, tell your family, talk to old developers you used to work with, talk to ones you STILL work with.
I understand that this is not going to be something we can do freely, as many people’s livelihoods are relying on Roblox, but if we don’t make them see the grim reality of their decisions, then Roblox will continue dying the slow death they’re currently subjecting it to. You will lose your jobs and your games at this rate anyway, make them see their mistakes and they have a chance to revert it, they have a chance to survive.
Make sure your players know, too, make sure everyone you can tell knows. This will not be something quickly assembled, but we need it.

“This is a bad idea, we don’t have enough support”

No, that’s not true, that’s exactly what they WANT us to think, and you must see that. Roblox is wanting us to feel hopeless and directionless; they want us to conform, do not let them win. You may not have many connections yourself, but I almost guarantee you know somebody who does. Word of mouth is practically the only chance we have. Rioting will not give us revolution, only cooperation will.
This is not going to be the only post I make on it, but I encourage you to make your own posts, too, bring discussion in every form you can. We need this. Protest, rebel, save your jobs and save the children Roblox is neglecting here.

I am sure you all agree this is a good idea, but I know you’re definitely hesitant or are thinking nothing will come of this, but once again, that’s how they want you to feel. Don’t let that stop you, let everyone know. If one front game page were to close down, just ONE, that is such a significant hit to Roblox’s profits, it would make a difference. We need this.
I advise using the hashtag #RobloxBlackout2026 or similar to have a global means of spreading information, regardless of platform.
Don’t give up. We developers need this more than anyone.


OP notes:
Roblox is attempting to hide this. We CANNOT let them do it as it will undermine the effect of the protest. Please spread it to the Discord/Fluxer/Revolt servers for those games.

About the hashtag mention (#RobloxBlackout2026), you can create posts about it on any federated microblogging platform (i.e. Mastodon).

For us users this is what we're going to do next: Deactivate your Roblox accounts, block it from your own network, uninstall the clients, look for and/or move to an alternative like OpenBlox* or Okutu (also in Codeberg).

Thoughts on the current meta in Anime Auto Chess and handling late-game RNG

I’ve been grinding the new update for a few days now, and honestly, the difficulty spike past wave 20 feels a bit inconsistent. The economy management is solid, but I feel like unless you high-roll specific mythics early on, you just get stat-checked by the boss rounds.

At first, I was just picking characters based on who looked cool or which anime they were from, but I quickly realized that doesn't work for the ranked modes. I kept losing until I actually sat down and looked at an Anime Auto Chess Tier List to understand the current power rankings. It’s crazy how some of the "legendary" units are actually outperformed by lower-cost units if you just get the right synergies going. I was totally sleeping on the support buffers, which seem essential now if you want to survive the burst damage in later stages.

Another thing confusing me is the specific stat scaling for the AoE characters. The in-game tooltips are a little vague about how much the damage increases per star level. I’ve been trying to study the Anime Auto Chess Units data to see if it’s better to prioritize attack speed items or raw damage for the mage class, but it feels like the current patch heavily favors attack speed to trigger passives faster.

Is anyone else running a full elemental synergy build right now? I want to know if it’s worth pivoting away from the raw physical damage meta, or if I should just save my gold for rerolls. Let me know what comps are working for you guys in endless mode.

The chat restrictions have finally happened to my (alt) account

Had a verified main and an unverified alt, I won't use my main account as frequently as my alt account because of the moderation that hit @[email protected] (she was banned for confronting onto a toxic player in Westbound and already made another account before the alt detection comes in)

At the same strength as how strongly it was good for me (I don't have to deal with toxic players anymore) it is bad for those who don't want to give away their PII just for those features

I'm already considering deleting both of those accounts once I moved off it

The possible fate of my Roblox account and Robux

Hi, everyone.

I want to describe what happened to my Roblox account and Robux balance because I'm genuinely concerned and confused at this point.

Over the past few days, I've noticed something peculiar: my Robux balance has always been zero. Even after someone donated to me, the pending Robux section showed nothing. I refreshed the page, logged out and back in again, but nothing changed. It's as if all my Robux disappeared overnight.

I'm starting to think that someone might have hacked my account and stolen my Robux. I haven't shared my password with anyone, and I've always been careful, so this situation is both confusing and frustrating. I used to enjoy Roblox, but now it feels like I’m losing everything I worked for. Thankfully, my avatar, items, and creations are still intact. However, I can't buy anything in the shop anymore because my balance is empty.

Here's what I'm going to do: I'll continue trying to contact Roblox Support to see if they can recover anything or explain what happened. If they can't help and this problem isn't resolved, I won't create a new Roblox account, and I'll quit Roblox for good. I've lost too much to start over.

It's not just about the Robux. It's about losing trust in a platform I invested time and effort in. I hope Roblox takes issues like this more seriously because many players experience similar issues.

P.S. Any mean or sarcastic comments about this post will be blocked and reported immediately. This is a serious post, and I am attempting to find solutions.

I'm sorry for the long message, but I needed to express how I feel. Thank you for reading.

Some games I've played the most, to avoid the ones in the front page for anyone stuck there like me

Take note - it is uncertain what the games' owners lean to, so keep an eye on them

no robux forever

Hi everyone.

I really wondered about this since I've never had a Robux. Honestly, there's nothing worth buying in the marketplace, not even enough to get 1,000 Robux so I can finally change my username. It's so disappointing because there's literally nothing I can do about it.

Are there any apps on the Play Store that actually give you free Robux? Everything I've seen so far seems suspicious, they must be scamming people or something. Obviously, cheating or hacking isn't an option for me, so that's out of the question.

I don't have any money either because my PayPal account is dead. There's actually nothing I can do right now.

So, here's the thing: if anyone knows how to get Robux safely without spending money (because clearly, I can't), please share your ideas in the comments below.

Thank you!
