The team behind indie hit Peak would rather its community pirate its own game, than play a "microtransaction-riddled" ripoff that has appeared on Roblox.

Peak’s indie devs just dropped a bomb: they’d rather you pirate their hit climber than waste time on Cliff, a Roblox knock-off they call “microtransaction-riddled ripoff slop.” Cliff apes Peak’s art, lobby design, first-person climbing and even the stamina bar—and slaps on paywalls galore.

On X, Team PEAK urged fans to skip Cliff entirely, preferring piracy over supporting a shameless copy. Sure, Roblox is full of “inspired” games, but Cliff really leans into straight-up copy-and-paste territory. (Meanwhile, Peak recently got dark, adding a cannibalism feature so you can literally snack on your friends.)
