Roblox has removed its "oof" sound of death RIP. News by Victoria Kennedy News reporter Published on 27 Jul 2022 21 comments The famous "oof" sound from Roblox, which was comically played whenever you met your maker, is no more. The developer revealed its removal yesterday, stating that this is all is due to a "licensing issue". Watch on YouTube Eurogamer Newscast: Why are video game companies still trying to flog NFTs? Instead, the company has now added a "replacement default sound". To give some context of how widespread the attention for Roblox's "oof" is, American rapper Post Malone used this sound in one of his remixes. This was reportedly because "his little one loves Roblox". I wonder how they will take the news? This is actually huge lol. Even @PostMalone did some remix or something where he used this sound because his little one loves Roblox https://t.co/37Et7dnTi5- Nick  (@Shpeshal_Nick) July 27, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Tallarico created it and then popped the sound into a game called Messiah, which came out in 2000. He is currently the president of Intellivision Entertainment, mostly known for to its plans to produce the Intellivision Amico, which has seen several delays.
