I DID play it. 5 of those levels were copied from several gamemodes in Fall Guys. Also, they were literally trying to profit off it.

profit where? roblox is a free game, where's the selling in the FG ripoff?
if you mean roblox bux or whatever, that's not from the creators of the fan project, for sure.
they didn't invent roblox.

Not that, I'm talking about the literal Gamepasses they had in the game. Along with them having you to purchase revives, if you ended up dying.

i thought you just used coins you won for that? I'm not claiming to be an expert [ on roblox ] , but when it comes to copyright laws - making a profit has literally nothing to do with fair use, lol.

regardless, monetization is not a factor when it comes to copyright law.
people seem to think if a thing was free, it's legal. but it doesn't matter.
making profit is not the crux of a copyright dispute.

you could argue they were trying to create a replacement for fallguys, but everyone i played with owns fallguys already. we were playing the bootleg one for funsies.

If you're profiting from someone else's IP then yes... it IS illegal...

You do know copyright laws vary by state and country, right? That said, it can also be claimed as IP which might differ from copyright. When it comes to creative/gaming IP, if you use someone else's and profit off of it, then yes, it's illegal. It's the basis on why so many MMO private servers either get shut down (if they charge their player-base to turn a profit) or stay up (if they explicitly ask for donations JUST to cover costs).

no, the profit has NOTHING to do with copyright. pleasexD
look up how fair use works, and applies to real life.
if they're
A. stealing assets or works, and using them in a no-transformative way
B. outright using protected content as their own
C. using copyrighted material without permission
D. making a replacement for existing protected content

the slip blox game is maybe guilt of D, and that's stretching it. Almost every obstacle course on Roblox is the same way, they just dressed it up slightly to mimic fall guys aesthetic.
literally none of it is breachign copyright law.

Again, these laws vary by country/state, so copyrights in the UK (or IP rights, idk) might differ. I honestly don't know where Roblox is based off of, but regardless they could actually hold up a case. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure if this could be considered stealing of IP since it's just a bootleg and not an exact carbon copy of the game, but still, we're talking about Roblox (or the people who made the bootleg, idk) going up against a company that just made millions. Mediatonic might lose, but I'm pretty sure every party involved would just consider it easier to simply drop the bootleg and avoid costly legal fees and what not.

This is by no means my field of expertise, but hey, I've followed a bit of gaming IP issues so I just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I would also have taken it down... If I made Fall Guys, I wouldn't want it copied into Roblox. Because Roblox is truly a ♥♥♥♥ game. Such disgrace.
