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.
