Actually the teenager would basically DMCA takedown peoples games and then remake the game nearly exactly and upload it himself to steal the playerbase, now he sold it to another pay2win studio
trying to find actual evidence for this has sapped my will to live but there’s some interesting drama

My son and all of his friends played it for a day or two. He made a point of showing it to me, which he rarely does with Roblox. While he was showing me how to play, another player came and asked if he wanted to see his garden. It was huge. After, he gave my son a bunch of materials and cash (or something, I don’t remember), so that was pretty wholesome.
It was basic plant, water, pick, sell. Something I’d never seen in one of their games was it had a gacha system where you complete requested missions and get a random reward, like new or bigger seeds.
I have no idea what the monetization was, mine didn’t spend any.
I guess on some level there’s something wholesome about it being a gardening game. I wonder how much of the success is owed to the natural human inclination towards farming
Roblox was a mistake. Someone go back in the ol time machine and eliminate it before it gets big enough to fight back.
