Made a script that replaces all default game icons with one that doesn’t false-advertise.
You can drag it into Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey and should do the trick.
Works on the full-size game page card style as well as search/favorites smaller card size.

(it’s extremely badly written code but I don’t know JavaScript okay)
Meanwhile on the featured sort…
I agree with the others that there needs to just be 1 neutral thumbnail and icon, something like what Wsly has pictured. Seeing all of these randomized, false icons is very confusing and misleading, and it should absolutely not be like that.
Aside from that, I think this is a smart change. Definitely will be good to counteract inappropriate game thumbnails/icons. Of course it’s unfortunate for games with owners who are no longer around to update those images, but I doubt those games are still generating large amounts of traffic anyway.
I’m actually into these thumbnails, but I’d prefer they have some sort of relation to the genre. Let’s say I have a horror or western genre game and I’d like an auto-generated thumbnail. Hoping the system could give me something related to that. I see a lot of potential for genres to be auto-generated and friendly.
Example:
Although this is just a development place, it’d be a neat to not to have something kinda irrelevant to the game’s genre.
:(
So umm… Is this supposed to affect plugins too??
I like the change, but the specific images dont make sense.
Wsly’s idea is good.
That made me chuckle.
There should be different images based on genre instead of just some random architecture and landscapes.
Technically they’re images from the different templates in studio though I agree that images for each genre would be good and some neutral ones as well that you could possibly choose from.
Do model thumbnails go through moderation or is this update going to affect them too?
I don’t know what the difference is between this, and misleading thumbnails; nor do I know what the point of putting up irrelevant thumbnails to a place is. You may as well be forcing people to upload thumbnails to a game because no one will realistically keep this for a serious game.
If I were going to execute this however, I’d have it assign thumbnails based on the genre of the game (all would be an edge case, but far better than whatever is going on here).
Every time I hear that there is a web update I die a little inside.
Also its gonna lead to ugly crap such as this
why are plugins affected by this too?
Just going to leave this here. I don’t think there was a single positive comment that I’ve heard about this update yet, all it’s doing is getting more people to use complete clickbait thumbnails for cheap. That’s not something that should be supported in the community.
It actually gets me REALLY mad because I loved how I could just position the camera and that’d be the thumbnail, now by default on my places it’s automatically putting up these low quality and random thumbnails… That’s just silly.
Pls don’t sue but I didn’t like the default icon you used. So I changed it three times 1,2,3 decided on the last one. (old icon)
But that’s not ROBLOX’s logo, is it now?
I can only say that this update really makes current matters worse. Really, get together, ROBLOX - or we’ll end up losing popularity before long.
(My personal preference) I hate seeing the new logo so if I can have the old then I will. Besides another script already strips away every mention/seeing of the new logo and replaces it with the old.
Ah, okay - I was merely a bit confused as to why you used the old logo.
