# Talk:Grow a Garden

The reliable sources so far does not provide necessary context; and the user-generated wikis are in conflicts with one another in terms of the game's ownership, especially its relationship with Do Big Studios™⁠. Ca talk to me! 15:54, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

What I am gathering so far is that the game is owned by whopping three studios?? Namely, GoHardGames (owned by BMWLux, original creator), Splitting Point (owned by Janzen Madsen), and Do Big Studios (owned by John Cannata). Ca talk to me! 16:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any reliable source (primary or not) backing this up. Ca talk to me! 16:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

I didn't notice this title was a sneaky duplication warning notice evasion, I'm regretting not doubting why the A was a capital letter... and the thing is at AfD. Not this problem again... AlphaBetaGamma  (Talk/report any mistakes here)  14:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I think this should be a very uncontroversial merge that wouldn't require extensive discussion. Any objections to moving all non-duplicated bytes into Grow a Garden and making this into a redirect?  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 19:29, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
No objection. Very obvious merge. Tarlby (t) (c) 19:33, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
After comparing the two pages, I think the Grow a Garden page already contains all bytes worth salvaging. The only thing this version has that that version doesn't is additional lower-quality sources. I'll just go ahead and make it a redirect, but if anyone else finds any sentences or sources worth transferring, they'll still be around in the edit history.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 19:35, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Grow a garden is rising to popularity very quickly, therefore more sources may come Animalsrule2024 (talk) 11:56, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Bro no it will die someday 64.180.254.183 (talk) 02:50, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
This was a while ago i know
Also it has enough sources for a page so I think it is good Animalsrule2024 (talk) 21:53, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

While I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a gameplay screenshot looking cluttered (some video games just are very cluttered and unpleasant to look at, see any MMORPG user interface for example), the current one is great. Love that the avatar is a classic Roblox noob wearing a Wikipedia shirt.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 21:07, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

The game is not a farming life simulator, can we please stop calling it that? Please at least read what the thing you're using to describe the game means before doing so. Dankwikiedits (talk) 07:35, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

As someone who introduced that genre, I agree that such characterization is a bit misleading and not present in the cited sources. I like your wording "farming-themed". Ca talk to me! 12:51, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
Just wanted to add that I agree with the current phrasing of "Idle video game" (linking to Incremental game) and strongly oppose use of the word "simulator" here. Using "simulator" as a synonym for incremental/idle/clicker game is a fairly Roblox-specific thing. Any reader unfamiliar with Roblox lingo might see the word "simulator" and think Simulation video game, which most Roblox "simulators" are categorically not.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 17:23, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
Just to remind you that Wikipedia is not a place to define terms or a description based on opinions or editor consensus, it should rely on the provided reliable source, in which in this case, a citated reference mentioned such term (ref #1), unless another reference mentioned a term that you might agree with.
See Wikipedia:NOR Mhatopzz (talk) 05:56, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
There are sources for the term "farming simulator" which is fine, but there are not sources for just saying "simulator" to mean the idle video game genre. Wikipedia editors can absolutely discuss and reach a consensus on which terms to use (informed by reliable sources), and it is not inherently original research to do that. You will not find RS refer to the idle or incremental genres as the simulator genre, that term is not used in that way anywhere outside of roblox.com.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 17:59, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
One of the recent edits reverted the genre back to the farming simualtor nonsense, can't fix it myself either because of the semi-protection. Dankwikiedits (talk) 05:26, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
I reverted the edit and invited the editor to discuss it. Tarlby (t) (c) 05:37, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
What nonsense? the citated reference said so, why would you ignore it?
read Mhatopzz (talk) 05:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Most other sources do not use the veribiage "farming sim". Even if one sources describes the game that way, we use the most commonly attributed genre. Ca talk to me! 06:01, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Most of the citated sources provided mentioned such term (the first 15 references that I have checked myself), where does the term "idle-game" mentioned in one of these? If most of you believed so, then I suggest to provide a source to it, so that it wouldn't mislead the audience and other editors. Mhatopzz (talk) 06:08, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Gamespot, PCGamesN and PCGamer don't use the term "farming sim", just "Farm" or "Farming". In any case, I struggle to see the difference between "farming sim" and "farming-themed" Ca talk to me! 07:51, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Doesn't matter, the majority of the sources still refer it to as "farming sim" or "farming simulator", as long as the provided sources in the article mentioned all these terms more, I highly suggest to categorize the video game as farming simulator to avoid violating Wikipedia policies like WP:NOR and WP:NOTTRUTH, so you know that this article won't be too problematic.
Anyway this are the sources that mentioned the "farming simulator" or "farming" related genres:
The microtransaction-fueled free-to-play farming simulator had already shot past Fortnite’s concurrent....
But millions of people have. In fact, the very simple farming sim at one point had over 5 million active players...
Roblox farming simulator Grow a Garden is attracting millions of players across PC, mobile, and console devices...
Grow a Garden, a simplistic farming simulation that involves planting seeds and collecting exotic pets...
One of PC gaming’s biggest titles is a garden growing game made by a teenager in Roblox...Turns out gen alpha likes playing farming sims too, who knew.
Popular Roblox farming sim Grow a Garden recently debuted...
Roblox Farming Simulator Grow a Garden Surpasses 11 Million Concurrent Players
Grow a Garden has quickly become the biggest Roblox game...its relaxing farming sim gameplay
Roblox-based gardening and pet simulator Grow a Garden
Most of the cited sources mentioned such thing, the rest don't even mention about genres at all, but described it as farming games instead.
You might wan't to take a look for this discussion, @Dankwikiedits, @Ca, @Tarlby, I assumed your previous intentions to be good faith, but I suggest a change to be made to avoid making this article violating Wikipedia policies and mislead readers. Mhatopzz (talk) 10:36, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for compiling this. But out of 17 reliable and independent sources cited in this article, only a half describes it as a "farming simulator". That said, "farming sim" and "farming-themed" have little to no difference in meaning, so I will drop the stick here. Ca talk to me! 12:37, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
Well, I guess this makes sense, but the wording "multiplayer farming simulator idle video game" created by this change is weird, so if anything, someone should change that somehow. Dankwikiedits (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
While I agree with not using the descriptor "farming sim", please be more civil and polite in your comments. Ca talk to me! 06:01, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

A rare version of a normal uncommon rarity of blueberry in the Roblox game bro a garden there is a 000.1 precent chance of growing it if you manage to grow one consider yourself a lucky person. 2600:1001:A110:6BCF:DD38:61AC:B0E9:AF64 (talk) 17:57, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

If this is a suggestion to mention this blueberry item in the Wikipedia page, we would need to see it mentioned in some external sources (think news articles, reviews in reputable publications, etc) to demonstrate that it's important enough to be described in the article.

@Ca Is calling the game free-to-play not equivalent to mentioning a game's price as discouraged in WP:VGSCOPE? Tarlby (t) (c) 00:39, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

I added it because many sources highlighted the free-to-play aspect as one of factors to its success. Ca talk to me! 05:00, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

The numbers listed seem to indicate that Roblox is expecting less money than their original projection... why would this be a positive thing that would increase their share price?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4B80:21E0:516C:2100:64B1:F71A (talk) 17:16, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

can someone help? Wikiediter2029 (talk) 19:41, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

@Wikitranslator1242 I disagree with the inclusion of of the publisher and platform fields in the infobox. The concept of a publisher in context of Roblox games is fuzzy. Publishers are responsible for reproduction and distribution of content. Roblox games reside fully in the Roblox ecosystem, and thus there is no need for a publisher: the game platform itself, Roblox, handles all distribution and reproduction, while offering developers advertisement options. Splitting Point is not responsible for the reproduction and distribution of content–they are simply developers, complicated by the fact that Do Big Studios is also a contributing developer.
The game's available platforms are identical to the platform Roblox supports, which number many and gretly expands the size of the infobox. The infobox's length causes spacing issues with the gameplay screenshot, and creates an ugly cutoff on the section header. Interested readers can refer to the article Roblox for the list of platforms ROblox supports. Ca talk to me! 00:21, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

@Wikitranslator1242 Do you have a source for the programmers field? It would be unlikely that there are only two scriptors working on such a large game. Ca talk to me! 00:44, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
Do BMWLux and jhailatte hold a significant role in the scripting of the game? I did not find such information in the cited sources. And Splitting Point's official website does not contain any such information. Ca talk to me! 00:50, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
I second all of what Ca has said. Also, unsourced material should not be in the article, full stop. Removing programmer fields at the very least for now. λ NegativeMP1 00:50, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
@Wikitranslator1242 You have reverted the deletion of platforms field three times and are approaching the WP:Three revert rule. Can you explain why you believe the platforms field should be included? Ca talk to me! 02:55, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
I think TWO's solution is a good compromise. 👍 Ca talk to me! 05:25, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
