Why did you switch threads?

I needed to revise the blocks

I'm not sure all of this was needed, but okay.

if you were just going to create this in a separate topic why the heck would you close the other one?

I needed to revise this

couldn't you have edited the previous ones and leave a disclaimer?

Ok, back to explaining why this is a bad idea lol

I genuinely loved picking apart your argument on the old topic tbh

Scratch isnt a gaming site, it isnt designed to have features that will only be useful to one type of project, scratch is about education, and giving people the tools to do things that literally any other coding language cant do is teaching people to rely on nonexistent features when they eventually move to other platforms

This would also make multiplayer projects significantly less important, if everybody can make a multiplayer project, than nearly ever game on scratch would be multiplayer, and quite frankly not every game NEEDS multiplayer.

This would strain the hell out of servers by constantly overloading it with new data almost every second, scratch is a nonprofit company, and it has much much higher priorities than paying for a useless features servers (THAT MEANS MASS REPORTING, IF YOU WANT THAT FIXED, THIS IS ONLY DISTRACTING FROM THAT)

I rest my case

Why can't we just use cloud variables?

We do. They just want an easier way to make multiplayer projects.

Agreed

No support. This is just another obscure feature that only certain projects actually need and could use.

Also, I think there's something called a Griffpatch tutorial.

You’re right, you don’t need multiplayer blocks.

And not all scratchers can use them.
