“tbh would rather you pirate our game than play this microtransaction-riddled @Roblox slop ripoff,” says a post from Aggro Crab’s official X account, spotted by PCGN.

Like YouTube, Roblox started two decades ago as an online stage for young creators. Video-game lovers could use the service’s tools to develop inexpensive, low-resolution entertainment.

A new Roblox game heavily inspired by Peak, the hot new social game on Steam, has ruffled the feathers of both developers and players alike.

Peak developers criticise Roblox copy of their game and encourage piracy over playing the microtransaction version.
