Live-Ops

Live-Ops (also referred to as Developer Events) was a Roblox system which had replaced the event feature. It aimed to better spotlight games by upcoming and established developers by featuring a few games on the splash page each day. This system did not provide marketplace prizes, as developers were recommended to make their own in-game prizes for users who participated. Live-Ops were intended to begin on May 13, 2019, but were delayed until May 16th (3 days after Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time ended).
On November 13, 2019, it was announced that Live-Ops would be put on hold on November 21, 2019, as the system was being re-evaluated. It was expected to come back sometime in 2020, but as of 2024, it has still not returned. It is currently unknown if Live-Ops has been permanently discontinued or is still being re-evaluated by Roblox.
== Criticism ==
The Live-Ops system was heavily criticized by players and developers alike for its low visibility and lack of catalog prizes. Users argued that the lack of prizes defeated the purpose for both developers and the players to participate in Live-Ops, believing that the games should have provided catalog prizes instead of in-game rewards to allow greater customization for free-to-play users. Users have also argued that this system replaced and essentially discontinued traditions such as the egg hunts, Hallows Eve, Christmas, Kids Choice Awards, Roblox Winter Games, and other seasonal events. Developers additionally criticized Live-Ops for only being accessible through the sidebar on the Roblox website rather than on the main games page, arguing that this was a contributing factor to Live-Ops games receiving little to no increase in player count.
