scrolled past this a couple times thinking it was an opinion column about how the ideal dev behavior is approving of people pirating their games. finally remembered the game name.
anyway peak devs are peak.
Peak devs would rather you pirate their game than play a sloppy ripoff

Roblox is a hot mess of copyright infringements. No ides how it is allowed to not police its shit at all.

It was pretty bad for a long time, but once they started letting users make their own hats and body models and shit, it got absurd. At least the games are usually just ripoffs, but the user-made catalog is just full of straight up model rips. I don't understand how they're not getting sued to oblivion for making money off of copyrighted material like that.

Indie devs keep being the best devs.

Yanderedev? PirateSoftware? (Lol)
I hate to be that guy, but indie developers are not immune to being bad people or making bad choices.

So what you’re saying is that a bad apple spoils the bunch?

Putting Peak devs on any moral pedestal is wild to me, did we forget that they put a backdoor in every lobby with Bingbong? Because no it’s not ok for devs to being able to just join any lobby and spy on it’s player.
