Indie co-op climbing game Peak's developer knows that "friendslop" has its haters but argues there's a place for these kinds of games.
Between REPO and Peak, it's been a good year for pick-up-and-play co-op games that came out of nowhere and blew up. But where there is popularity, there is also negativity, leading to the rise of the term "friendslop" to describe these games – effectively saying the games don't have much going for them outside of being something to hang out and play with friends.
