Dress to impresswhich is extremely popular Roblox Online game about creating themed outfits in a short amount of time to win prizes recently added some new costumes just in time for Halloween. One of them is a large hot dog. Remember that Roblox Is, At least on paper it’s a no-brainer. So you can probably imagine why the hot dog was removed and replaced with a cupcake. (People made tail outfits.)
Published last year, Dress to impress has quickly become one of the most popular Roblox Experiences on the platform. In fact, it is currently one of the most popular games in the world. Seriously. I randomly checked how many people were playing it on Wednesday afternoon, and over 301,000 people were playing the dress-up game at the same time. That would do it the third most popular game on Steam. And based on some recent news from people working on it DTIit seems that many of these people used the hot dog costume to make penises.
On October 22nd Dress to impress Community Manager Beaplays confirmed on Twitter that the hot dog costume has been “temporarily” removed from the game due to “inappropriate use.” It appears that some people have turned the hot dog a flesh color and put a pink or brown hat over it to create an outfit that looks like it looked very similar to a penis.
“Just an update if you haven’t seen it yet. The Hot Dog Costume is temporarily removed from DTI due to improper use. We plan to bring it back later, with restrictions on coloring/pairing with other items to reduce this,” the community manager wrote.
They also confirmed that a new cupcake costume has now been added Dress to impress. The hot dog is scheduled to come back in November with more restrictions, and when it comes back, the developers will try to make it so that people can enjoy it Still creating the Duolingo owl mascot.
Not the first time Dress to impress Players have been warned
Funnily enough, the community has already been warned about this. On October 21st, one day before the removal of the digital wiener, DTIs said the development manager that the developers had noticed that people were using the hot dog costume to create naughty outfits. So they removed the ability to change the color of the hot dog and said that if the hot dog continued to be “abused,” it would be removed.
“We want to create a safe and friendly environment for our players and that was not the plan,” the manager said.
“Creativity is the meaning of the gameand we see a lot of tweets that prove it. But we simply cannot offer other options for such a serious matter. We appreciate all your creativity (apart from the reasons why we’re removing it…), but it’s better for us and the community to just end it as quickly as possible.”
But this is the Internet and if you give people the opportunity to create digital dicks, they will do it until you either stop them or they get bored. We’ll see how long the hot dog lasts when it comes back. I’ll say about two days.
