Andrew “Redigit” Spinks, the creator of Terraria, has come out on the losing end against his wife Whitney “Cenx” Spinks: In his own forum, which revolves around the game on Steam, he has now been banned by his own wife.
What is the reason? Shortly after Redigit presented possible in-game features for Terraria, a message popped up on his screen. The message states that his wife has banned him for abuse of power. Their cult would not tolerate such behavior.
In his tweet, Redigit writes that his wife banned him from the Terraria forum, and technically it would be his forum:
The whole thing is to be viewed with a wink. There is no conflict between the two spouses. It is more of a little tease, to which Redigit has the perfect response.
What is his reaction? As an act of revenge, Redigit set up a redirect for the Terraria forum that goes directly to the page of the Care Bears (via Twitter).
Just as much fun is how the competition between the two should be understood: In the forum, players can vote on which side they are on. Redigit leads Team “Tree,” while his wife Cenx stands for Team “Axe.”
A long-time fan of Terraria enters the humorous situation and tweets that Redigit is now only available on MySpace (via Twitter). As a picture shows, Redigit’s last login was on August 27, 2006. Nonetheless, the fan jokes that people should pay a visit to his profile.
Here’s a closer look at Terraria:
This is what makes Terraria special
The open-world title is considered one of the best games on Steam. A full 97 percent of user reviews are positive, placing it at number 7 of the highest-rated games in the Steam ranking (as of July 6, 2023, via steamdb).
What kind of game is it? Terraria offers a massive sandbox with a complex 2D world. You can explore the world while trying to survive the monsters that inhabit it and the built-in traps.
There are various building features and resources that must be found in the world. You can build houses or entire castles. The title can be played both solo and in multiplayer.
Terraria is currently even available for a price of €4.99 in the Steam Summer Sale, just like the Steam hit Only Up!:
The community remains loyal to the game even 12 years after its release, not least because of the developer team’s closeness to the players. The teasing between the two spouses proves how much humor the team has.
Actually, development on the game should have been completed eight years ago. But Redigit recently explained that with patch 1.4.5, the next major update is on the way:
