The Rise And Fall Of Steal A Brainrot
Hello everyone! Welcome back to a new game document that I have been thinking about that involves the Roblox platform games. So yeah, please don’t judge what I write because the information I got is from wikis and websites. This took a long time to do ever since my Classic Roblox Document so please don’t hate or judge. So sit back and relax and put on some aura music as I tell you about the rise and fall of Steal a Brainrot (put on this aura music it’s peak - Ultra peak).
The Release of Steal a Brainrot
Steal a Brainrot (which is created by SpyderSammy) got released on May 15, 2025 and for the next few days or weeks it got a few thousand players in an instant. From having no players to having a few thousand which is a great start. The best part is they do weekly updates to keep up the hype of Steal a Brainrot and at the time of May to June it had 100+ Brainrots to buy in many variations. Which means in many different skins or colors. The second part was Brainrot like Tung Tung Tung Sahur and many more here very popular in the late 2025 (May-December) which increased Steal a Brainrot popularity.
Steal a Brainrot Growth
Steal a Brainrot has gained a lot of popularity, so much so that in the next 3 months it got 1 million players playing at once. And got the attention of famous Youtubers like Steak, Caylus, Foltyn and Kreekcraft to play the game. Because little kids like brainrots and never want brainrot to die, but I thought skibidi toilet was done from 2022-2023 but I guess we knew brainrot which means we are cooked for the next 10 years.
But anyway all the grown men that are 28 years old playing Brainrot games with nothing to do with life, playing Steal a Brainrot and saying “this game is really fun I think I should waste my life by playing a little kids brainrot game” (just for reference this is a joke, no one has said this and I made this up in my head).
In August 2025 Grow a Garden started to do admin abuse which got the idea of Steal a Brainrot to do admin abuse by giving out lucky blocks and crazy good brainrots that are based on luck and I don’t know why but Sammy likes to spoil Steak, Caylus and Foltyn by giving them crazy good brainrots while we get nothing. Thanks to Steak, Caylus and Foltyn for introducing Steal a Brainrot to their fans. It helps Steal a Brainrot grow even more in popularity which is why Sammy likes to spoil them, not cool, Sammy.
The Competition
As Steal a Brainrot grew in popularity, there was another game that had the same growth and popularity. That game is called Grow a Garden. Grow a Garden broke Roblox so many times and broke many world records. Ohh yeah I forgot it’s Steal a Brainrot not Grow a Garden but anyway Steal a Brainrot had competition against Grow a Garden, but in a friendly way, not in a violent way.
So both of these games accept a challenge to see what is the best game of 2025. So on August 23, 2025 both games wanted to do a challenge and that challenge was who had the most players in their game. Both of these games did an ADMIN WAR. Then after the admin war is done whoever had most players in the games will be the best game of 2025. You can choose a team by being a green bean which means you are voting Grow a Garden but if you didn’t choose a green bean well you chose Steal a Brainrot.
After all the crashes at Roblox and broken world records, (drum roll please) the game who had the most players in the admin abuse is Grow a Garden. Which in my opinion Grow a Garden deserves to win and I have no hate towards Steal a Brainrot. I think it was a great time for Roblox players but not great for Roblox that kept crashing. But Steal a Brainrot had a good competition even if Steal a Brainrot lost between Grow a Garden and for what they did it is going to be in Roblox history forever which is a good thing.
Steal a Brainrot Broke The Record
As Steal a Brainrot is growing and avenging 1+ million players every day and taking a respectful loss from Grow a Garden. Grow a Garden had a record of 22.4 million players all at once at one admin abuse in August which is a world record for the most players in one game and you might be asking, "why are you talking about Grow a Garden records, this is not about Grow a Garden is about Steal a Brainrot. Are you tryna brag about how Grow a Garden broke the record for having the most players in one game cuz if you are well im gonna stop reading.”
No, I'm not bragging about how Grow a Garden broke the world record by having the most players in one game, what I'm trying to say is Steal a Brainrot broke Grow a Garden records by having 24 million players all at once in September 15, 2025 while Grow a Garden had 22.1 million players all at once.
The Fall of Steal a Brainrot
Hello guys I have been talking about the rise and fun part about Steal a Brainrot but I haven't talked about the fall about Steal a Brainrot. I will talk about 3 reasons why the game is dying.
Reason number one (the criticism), you might be wondering, “why are we talking about criticism about Steal a Brainrot?” Well there are two criticisms and I will tell you two of them. Criticism number one, when Steal a Brainrot was gaining so much, growth, popularity and money (which I will explain later) so much so that it caught the eye of Do Big. Yeah and you might know what Do Big is and if you don’t it is an evil that buys popular Roblox games and soon kills the games by putting so much expensive gamepass, it is literally like pet sim but worse. Like the game is free to play and when Do Big buys it they turn it into P2W (Pay 2 Win). Do Big bought Steal a Brainrot and ever since the news that Do Big bought Steal a Brainrot they started losing players by the day.
Criticism number two (the idea stolen), you might be wondering “what do you mean by the idea stolen? Steal a Brainrot is a game who started Steal a game thing.” Fool it was the second game to start it, there is a game called Steal a Character which soon Sammy the creator of Steal of Brainrot stole the idea of Steal a Character.
With no credits towards Steal a Character gameplay but there’s been allegation of Steal a Brainrot paid the creator of Steal a Character to use its gameplay and ideas (I'm not a 100% sure if this true).
Reason number 2, (the boring game loop). As Steal a Brainrot keeps growing in numbers, players starting to realize that it’s the same thing, buy a brainrot, Steal a Brainrot or trade the brainrot and spend Robux on the game to get the rarest brainrot ever and then index the brainrot. Once you do all of that - and this is where Steal a Brainrot leaves the game - the next update is the same thing. Even if they add new brainrot to collect and compete the variation of the brainrot, there is no point if you have 100% complete. The worst part is that the devs of Steal a Brainrot are so lazy that they just put new variation of brainrot. This won't get any players by just doing the same update. And this is a big issue in the Roblox platform - let me explain. When a game is released and becomes popular out of nowhere, is F2P (Free 2 Play), and the best game of year, there are companies like Do Big that want to buy the game because the best game of the year is making lot of money. Do Big wants to buy the game, and once they do the game becomes a boring game loop and the most P2W game ever.
Reason number 3 (the boring admin abuse). When Steal a Brainrot started doing admin abuse after Grow a Garden did, Steal a Brainrot admin abuse started getting boring over time, giving the worst brainrot to players and doing the same weather event. Even if they added new weathers, it still feels like nothing is good only boring, and this is a big issue in the Roblox platform. If every Roblox game started doing admin abuse, it gets boring because it’s no fun. I wish I could write more, but this is all I can get from wikis and websites.
How To Fix Your Game
Don’t let these greedy companies like Do Big buy your game. Even if you do, don’t let it ruin your game by putting the most P2W gamepass ever, and no matter how much money they are offering you, don’t take it. If you do, well you let these greedy companies buy your game, you are going to be the person getting all the criticism. Because when you let Do Big buy your game players are not going to find out immediately and start to realize that there are P2W gamepass and call you a greedy person, when in reality Do Big is doing this. And even if they find out they will still call you greedy for only caring about money instead of the players fun. So if you are creating a Roblox game and it gets popular, don’t let money get to you. Only care about the players fun. That’s it and thanks for reading.
