Peak Studio Tells Fans to Pirate Game Instead of Playing “Roblox Ripoff” Copy Called Cliff

STEAM/ROBLOX PLATFORMS, AUG 5 – Peak developers criticize Roblox clone Cliff for microtransactions and urge piracy of the original, which has sold over 4.5 million copies and peaked at 114,492 concurrent players.

  • On August 4, 2025, Aggro Crab Games posted that they'd 'rather you pirate our game' than play Cliff, a Roblox copy of Peak.
  • Platform patterns show Roblox hosts numerous microtransaction-filled clones like Cliff, a Peak imitation amid demand from players lacking console access.
  • The imitation game charges five microtransactions from 49 Robux to 200 Robux, totaling roughly $8, matching Peak's up-front cost on Steam.
  • Following the developer call, players responded with 'Don't tell me what to do' and 'I'm going to buy it even harder now,' despite Peak selling over 4.5 million copies.
  • Given Roblox's moderation system, Aggro Crab intends to bring Peak to consoles soon, though no window is confirmed.
