On September 17th, 2020, one of the most popular games on Roblox that has been around since 2016 entitled "Survivor" was deleted due to copyright. This game possessed over 220M+ visits and was on this platform for over 4 years, it's quite surprising to see this occur, however, copyright is a big deal, hence why nothing can be done to revoke Survivors termination from the platform. Nevertheless, the developer proclaimed on one of his posts via Twitter that a new game will be rolling out soon called "Outlaster" which is enlisted to be their own official property.
For those who don't know, Survivor is an American T.V. Series and because of that, the game on Roblox was taken down. Upon the shutdown, many users were concerned about the items they have purchased, the game developer GodzGalaxy stated on twitter:
"There's been a lot of questions in regards to refunds. We're trying to see if we can reopen the game under a different name so that users can still have their content. If it cannot be reopened, we will be transferring gamepass items to Outlaster!"
Statistics and non-gamepass items will obviously not be transferred to Outlaster.
After Summer 2017, copyright had become strict in many ways whereas original audios were getting taken down from the Library. Games being deleted more often due to plagiarism and duplicate assets from external platforms other than Roblox, etc. Pokemon Brick Bronze is an example to display when Nintendo filed a DMCA claim to have the game rightfully taken down as they are the original copyright holders with a complete licensed authorization.
In conclusion, Outlaster will be releasing soon and the Peak Precision Studios has not put anything on hiatus. Why not go and play Eviction Notice in the meantime whilst things get sorted out? This isn't the end. 😃
