Roblox just released brand new teasers for their brand new event Roblox is going to be changing uh in a bad way on August 7th some huge new updates came out for developers and so much more stuff I want to talk about in today's video after I ask you to subscribe because every time I get five subscribers I will pet my cat okay but without further Ado let's move on to the first story of the video which is just what you wanted to hear and it's an update for the Roblox event that is apparently coming out very soon so Roblox tweeted this out 14 minutes ago as I'm recording this video I'm a bit late guys um but let's talk about it because this video is so interesting because Roblox said prepare yourself # Roblox games now I didn't really know but in the last video with the last teaser that Roblox released apparently that was like reminiscent of the Roblox summer games that used to happen back in the day I don't remember that at all surprisingly but you know I apparently that was a big thing that happened on Roblox and I just missed it I guess so yeah basically when that first teaser came out a lot of people were kind of just saying that this is going to be the summer games of 2024 and I think the last time these Summer Games happened was in 2018 I don't know either way with all this in mind if we go to the tweet from Roblox and we scroll and look at the video you can see that it just flies through different like platforms which I guess are like lobbies for each team and then it goes to the logo of the event which is the games now I I don't really understand what this is I guess they removed Summer from it because it is almost not summer anymore but yeah so I guess the event is going to be called the games which is kind of confusing but I think this is a great and pretty cool idea because from what it seems like is it's going to be like a team based thing where you have to pick a team and then you like fight for stuff I guess which is actually really sick granted though I think uh most people are going to be picking the feet team cuz it's just funny either way if we go further in the video we can see the release date of 8124 which I think is in a week from now yeah exactly one week from this video releasing we will be getting the games event on Roblox which is pretty cool scrolling into the comments you can see so many people excited for this event and I got to agree man this looks really really cool and again I don't know what the summer games is I never participated in these surprisingly I mean I've been playing Roblox for dang near 10 years now but uh yeah I have I have not ever seen a Summer Games event in my life but it seems like the last one that happened was 2017 oh wait maybe I am there's this right here but I thought this pig was from the egg hunt not a summer event I don't know dude I don't know what's going on but either way at the end of the day we're getting an event and it doesn't matter what the heck it's about because yeah we're getting we're getting an event and I think that's way more important and it also seems like a really good event this time like it seems like there's more than just playing games and getting tokens it seems like there might be more of a a a goal here which is good but anyways with all that in mind we can now move on to the next story which is uh just a small little story before I get into the bigger ones and it's a data store update or beta and if you don't know what data stores are it's basically how Roblox games save your data obviously so if you do anything in a Roblox game and then you leave and then rejoin and it saves that information it is using a data store now the reason this is important is because data stores have a limited amount of data that you can actually store in them and sometimes this data limit does get in the way of some Roblox games depending on how big they are and how ambitious their you know game is I guess but it seems like now Roblox is allowing devs to use cloud apis for data stores which means basically that you'll have less of a limit on the data that you can save and tldr games will just be able to save a lot more data about you which is a good thing like an actual good thing as you can see here here's this the dev for post about saying data stores V2 and yeah all of this stuff that I don't understand cuz I'm not smart enough um and yeah a lot of developers are super hyped about this everybody is hyped about this and it makes sense because I have known for the longest time that some Roblox games do have troubles with data stores and I hope that this can fix those issues but yeah that's what going on with data stores apparently there going to get a big update soon and now there is a public beta for the new data store uh feature but now we can move on to the next story which is absolutely massive and it's this huge change that is going into place on August seven so basically Roblox I guess sent out a message that's what this rgc note shows but let me check if I actually have this maybe they're just using like a message as a visual thing but uh yeah I think they are cuz I don't have this message as you can see the Tweet says Roblox will now sell share and process your personal data for advertisers as of August 7th you will be able to control how your data is processed though through your settings once this goes into effect now this already comes off as a bad thing but let's read the message that is included here cuz it says hello as noted in our privacy policy update on July 1st 2024 Roblox will soon start selling sharing processing personal data for targeted advertising purposes this practice is set to start on August 7th 2024 in accordance with applicable law starting on August 7th 2024 we will make a available mechanism to control selling sharing and processing personal data for targeted advertising purposes please visit your settings page starting on the date to review and exercise your choices more information is available on our privacy and cookie policy so this is all very very confusing and you might be like what the heck does this even mean but basically if you are over the age of 13 I believe because Roblox can't like sell data of people that are under 13 I think that's like quite literally illegal so if you are above the age of 13 your data on Roblox will most likely be sold to advertisers so you can get advertisements uh that are more catered towards you whether it's through the in-game user ads or just like I don't know other catalog stuff such just like the sponsored section on Roblox perhaps will be like more catered toward what you do on Roblox now I think the information that they're talking about here is probably like your gender uh stuff like that very base level things because I don't know what other information Roblox would have about you other than like the games you visit the items that you buy and like your gender uh so yeah that's kind of really the only information that they'll be selling and I I don't think it's that big of a deal but I do see why people are mad about this considering the fact that Roblox has a very bad track record of like keeping data private I feel like this is maybe not a good thing yeah I could see a lot of replies saying the same thing I trust Roblox sh sharing and protecting my data yes I agree schle that is so true capitalism again I don't think this will be like a detrimental update for Roblox I don't think people will start dying or anything like but it isn't like the best update to have obviously like this is something that you would rather have Roblox without but at the end of the day every website that you visit is probably doing the same thing which sucks but yeah you shouldn't really be worried about this at the end of the day and that's it that's what's going on with that on August 7th Roblox will technically be getting a little worse according to uh you know Roblox Twitter now we can move on to the next story which just happens to be some brand new items that are going to be getting released uh next month so every month roblox actually releases these items that are tied to gift cards and it seems like every month Roblox is starting to release more and more items like this with particle effects because Lily Gia tweeted out a video of all of the new gift card items that are going to be coming out next month such as this graphic cone and then we got this sword with the stinky cheese on it that's pretty epic a ray gun type thing a sword another sword I think this one's really really cool it has like the classic particle effect but like it's revamped in a way I think that one's really sick the money bag that one's pretty awesome this one's kind of lame I'm going to be honest this one really sucks it's like clipping into your shoulders why is that even right there's no way the orange head is pretty cool the soccer ball is cool and that's it and then it just Loop so yeah those are all the items that are going to be coming out next month if you buy a Roblox gift card you will have to do like a bit of research to see like what item you will get depending on the gift card cuz it all depends on where you buy the gift card and when like for example if you buy a gift card from a 7-Eleven you'll get a special item for buying from a 7-Eleven if you buy it from Walmart you'll get a special item for buying from Walmart but anyways now we can move on to the last story which just happens to be people using uh this new tactic to try and get people to not leave their games more specifically pet Simulator X cuz I saw this tweet right here from pet simulator news saying on new accounts when you try to leave the game it will give you a free gift and it shows a video of someone trying to leave and as soon as they open the pause menu their screen shakes a loud noise plays and then it says that they have a free gift to open which I think is hilarious but also kind of messed up like is this should this be allowed bro I don't know now this does only happen to new accounts so if you have been playing pet SIM for longer than I don't know a little while you won't be getting this and I I think that kind of makes it a little worse but what do I know most of the comments are saying like this should not be allowed and that it's sad to be honest oh my God but uh yeah man I don't know I feel like this is definitely something that shouldn't exist um yeah that's what's going on with that kind of funny kind of bad I don't know
