I didn't hear about that, what happened?

There was a 'game' about a cube that you tapped to get to the center wondering what was inside. If I recall each install only had a few taps. Only the person to finally open it would get the prize.

The prize was supposed to be the opportunity to make a game with him and all of the profits of something, then it became just a game he would make and like $1000000, then he basically ghosted the winner without paying him. He made a shitty beta half-game thing after like 8 years, then finally just said it was done without actually making anything really playable or even charging for it.

There's viddocs on YouTube about it.

He basically forgot about the winner, has to be reminded and years later the guy received something that was way off from what was promised.

You can find a much better and more accurate description by searching, but maybe that's good enough.
