It is not much of a surprise if a particular game like Starfield, Minecraft, or Fortnite trends in social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram because they just do so occasionally, either due to new updates or insane features that please the players.
However, something unusual has been happening in the gaming world, with the hashtag “boycottbiggames” trending for the past few days.
Apparently, BIG Games has been at it again, suing the games left and right for stealing their content. However, as a retaliation, Pet Simulator X sued Roblox Games for featuring cube-shaped pets, which are identical to the designs from their game.
With the news spreading among the gaming communities, everyone began discussing it by mentioning the hashtag “boycottbiggames” below the topic.
So, why exactly is Pet Simulator X suing Roblox Games, and what is the response of gamers and developers? Read on to find out more.
Why Is Pet Simulator X Suing Roblox Games?
While there have been several games with similar features that borrow a certain character design, not many take it seriously, but Pet Simulator finally decided to take action when the news of someone leaking about Pet Simulator X to BIG Games got out.
A popular leaks account named RBXG Leaks has been sharing everything about Pet Simulator X for the past few years now, and they recently got banned by BIG Games because Pet Simulator sued Roblox Games.
For example, BIG Games had previously sued Arm Wrestling Simulator due to their assets of Pets being too similar to the designs of their own games. While that copyright issue has been resolved, the community believes that the pets don’t look very similar.
Now, the karma is biting back at BIG Games as they didn’t anticipate Pet Simulator X to sue them in return. According to the information revealed by RBXG Leaks, they decided not to disclose any further leaks. In their words,
“This is what’s going on right now, and no, I’m not joking. I’ve been leaking Pet Simulator X for the past two years, but Preston suddenly decided, without warning, to DMCA takedown RBXGLeaks Discord server, which I no longer have. Now, Preston claims he filed a DMCA claim on my Twitter, but Twitter isn’t responding (I wonder why), and now I’m being threatened with a cease-and-desist order and possibly being sued after.”
“Big Games is one of the worst ROBLOX game development teams, and I’m surprised that people still support them. Big games dev team have supported me for the previous two years and now they are now taking me down without a warning and without me knowing till 2 days ago.”
“I will no longer leak Pet Simulator, not because they asked me to stop, but because I want to stop supporting them after what they have done to me. I am not longer in great shape anymore cause of BIG GAMES, they set me up after clearly showing support to me for the past 2 years.”
How Is the Gaming Community Responding to the Issue?
Almost everyone in the gaming community have been taking the issue seriously and trolling BIG Games by mentioning the hashtag “boycottbiggames.”
For example, this X user named Sockaboy dropped a picture of a duck with a square background and claimed that BIG Games is suing him for having a square-shaped profile picture.
Another X user named Luiggi trolled the color of the BIG Games logo by mentioning how using an Orange could get you a DMCA copyright.
The above tweet sums up the situation perfectly, as Preston, the leading developer of BIG Games, doesn’t like any other games with a square and immediately files a copyright DMCA when he sees one.
So, what do you think about this whole situation? Is BIG Games crossing the line by suing every game? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
