The Roblox "oof" sound, which became famous not just with players but around the internet as a meme, has been removed from the game entirely due to a licensing issue.

Roblox, the somehow-increasingly-popular free video game, is ready to monetize its newfound infamy. The game’s oft-memed death sound — a strange and comical "oof" — will now cost in-game ...

The famous "oof" sound from Roblox, which was comically played whenever you met your maker, is no more.

The sound effect is hugely popular, and is well known in and out of the Roblox community - it has been used in countless memes and videos around the world.

Tallarico and Roblox seemed to work something out, as in 2020 it was revealed that the "oof" sound would be replaced but with the iconic version still licensable for $1 or 100 robux.

Players using the Roblox game creation system will soon have to pay to add the popular 'oof' death sound effect into their games.
