PEAK developers would rather you pirate their game than play the Roblox ‘slop’ version

Every time a popular game comes out, the hounds are let loose. Copies upon copies start cropping up everywhere and, specifically, appear on Roblox. PEAK, an indie hit, has also been copied on Roblox, and the developers would rather you pirated the original than play the “slop” copy.

The Roblox copy of PEAK, creatively named CLIFF, has cropped up following the indie’s massive success and blatantly regurgitates much of the original game. It’s also seemingly gotten pretty big on the platform, with PEAK‘s developers themselves catching wind of its existence. They then issued a kind comment regarding the “game,” saying they’d prefer you pirated PEAK to playing this “slop.”

“Tbh would rather you pirate our game than play this microtransaction-riddled Roblox slop rip-off,” the developers stated on their official X account.

CLIFF, as per the dev’s shared screenshot, has already garnered some 160,000 visits, and, with so many microtransactions crammed into it, it’s also likely made some good money since PEAK exploded.

This is just one in the sea of blatant copies of original popular games, which are often quickly patched together, released on platforms like Roblox or even the PlayStation Store, all with the goal of making money from the unassuming player.

The player in question is either a kid (as is the case with most Roblox players) or just someone who couldn’t afford the original premium product and settled for a free-to-play rip-off on alternative platforms.

And it’s getting so bad that you can log into the PS Store right now and be met with countless AI-generated copies of popular titles (or even memes, like those Italian brainrot caricatures), all sold for a buck a pop and probably packed with microtransactions.

So, take the advice of PEAK‘s devs and avoid this slop. Play real friendslop instead.
