The History of ROBLOX's Removed Features

I remember I tried to start a protest on the forums when they removed the skatepark genre I was so upset

0:04 "Roblox is a Frankenstein-esque monster of attempting to innovate with new concepts while trying to stay backward compatible" is a perfect way to summarize Roblox's evolution process.

I'm still so incredibly mad at them removing the ablity to sort games by genre. Nowadays, if you're trying to look up new games to play, you get: 90% unrelated searches/sponsored games, 9% copies of other more popular games, 1% actually creative stuff. If that.

i think that treasure chest was made 13+ because it would be possible to steal 13+ gear using it

5:57 - The "face builder" likely ended up being implemented as Dynamic Heads, which was released in 2022, my reasoning for this is because when I think of a "face builder", I'm guessing they're referring to the ability to emote and express. Even if they were referring to the ability to make custom faces though, I believe Dynamic Heads suits this as well, as the ability to upload user-created heads was released in 2023.

In regards to the intro, I would go so far as to say that because of changes to the scripting language, Roblox has absolutely NOT done as much for backwards compatibility as they should. I've always found this direct spitting in the face of preservation to be pretty annoying actually. A lot of games made before a certain point just don't work anymore, and a lot of old gear doesn't either. There is a reason such a community has formed around archiving and playing old versions

Hearing about Roblox attempting to stay backward compatible is so laughable right now since most games from 2006 to 2015/16 are still broken.

11 year old me was such a cornball I made a whole book out of paper and pencils when Tix got removed saying how much I'm gonna miss them (I literally had joined 2 months before making it)

How about Voxel Terrain? Basically a worse version of terrain that many amateur Roblox places used. Got converted to modern terrain in 2017 and then games that used it had their terrain deleted later in like 2022.

As someone who joined and played through 2012-2015 I was expecting to see more removed features around that time more mentioned in this video, like player points and the leaderboard on the game page, green click to move, personal servers, happy home place, the old terrain system, stamper tool, "play the game with the stamper tool or not", best friend feature, comments being on games and like its 45 minute interval, etc. Eh I guess some of them can't be discussed that long but I didn't expect most of the features in this video to be like prehistoric.

Something strange I only recently learned is Roblox actually removed studs from Roblox Studio. You need an extension to use them now. It's insane that one of Roblox's former core features is just no longer officially supported.

babe wake up toastescherries released a new video

7:32 they probably made the chest 13+ in case you stole one of the gun gears from someone else.

anyone remember when you could sign into roblox with facebook?

watching this at 1337 views is a gift from the robloxian gods

Unfortunately I never took the time to purchase builder's club, but I feel like it does feel weird not having the tiers anymore or the ability to have a lifetime subscription I think

I remember walking into school talking about the removal of tix shortly after their removal. Hard to believe its been 8 years already...

Another heavily underrated roblox youtuber covered this, his channel name is pixel pug and the video is under a similiar name just change the removed to discontinued. His effort was insane bro

I remember the guests, man, the one thing i want back on roblox is, ~ guests ~

I’m so mad about the fact that modern roblox games, obviously made by people who joined in like, 2018 make TIX the main currency.
