      Yanderedev? PirateSoftware? (Lol)

      I hate to be that guy, but indie developers are not immune to being bad people or making bad choices.

          No, I am saying exactly what I said.

          Indie developers are not immune to being bad people or making bad choices.

          Saying “indie devs keep being the best devs” gives the impression that people can automatically trust all indie developers, which I am cautioning against. While it may be true right now that most indie developers are more likely to be “better” than AAA developers, that is not always true and can always change very rapidly.

            He said “best devs”, not “perfect devs”. His phrasing is accurate.

    Roblox is a hot mess of copyright infringements. No idea 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 openly making money off of copyrighted material like that.

    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.

        Haven’t played yet, I bought copies for me and a family member to play online after they told me about it.

        Update: Online co-op. it does not appear to have local multiplayer.

          I need local coop to play with my kids though. They can’t have their own account yet.

          It’s okay, I’ll be patient.

            I am waiting for that for the very same reason. Hope it gets implemented, have not really read anywhere if it is planned or not though.

    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.

        Not to put on my tinfoil hat but of course they say that, just like every government that wants a backdoor into encryption says “only the good guys can use it”.

          Sure, but that logic applies to every single closed sourced software/system ever.
