Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn! Drama Unleashed
Coup in Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn - Are Devs Trying to Monetize a Fan Game?
Well, that didn’t take long.
Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn, the highly anticipated Roblox remake of the original fan-hit, Sonic.EXE: The Disaster, is already neck-deep in drama. Less than a month after release, one of the game’s developers, MajinBacon, has been accused of attempting to monetize the project on Roblox.
That’s right – charging real money for a fan game built on SEGA’s IP. Because if there’s one surefire way to get SEGA to swing the ban hammer and pissing off the community, it’s trying to turn their blue blur into your personal ATM.
A Money Move That Could Kill the Game
For those keeping score: The Disaster didn’t even attempt monetization and still got yeeted into the void by SEGA lawyers. So naturally, fans of TD Reborn were…less than thrilled at the idea of poking the corporate bear?
Once the alleged monetization plan came to light, the dev team and Discord moderators went nuclear. In a voice chat heard around the fandom, they broke the news to the community and promptly staged a coup.

The instructions?
Unboost the server, leave en masse, and migrate to a brand-new Discord where MajinBacon would have zero involvement. You can find that here: The Disaster: REXEcution Discord.
The Receipts and the Fallout
That wasn’t all. Among the pile of grievances tossed at MajinBacon were claims of using AI-generated tools to hastily transition from the original The Disaster to TD Reborn.
Some say he was largely unresponsive during development and failed to collaborate meaningfully. It paints a picture of a dev who allegedly did the bare minimum, then tried to cash out on the backs of everyone else’s work.
MajinBacon’s response? Not exactly a masterclass in damage control.

“TD REBORN FILE LEAKED IN 10 MINUTES,” he posted in all caps. Then followed it up with, “silent nuke server while I am asleep.” Translation: if he was getting kicked out, he might just take the whole damn thing down with him.
A Community Torn Apart
The community’s reaction was immediate and visceral. Within minutes, the chat spiraled into chaos: memes, accusations, slurs, and a flood of hate. No real conversation. No attempts at clarity. Just fire.
Here’s the real tragedy. TD Reborn had potential. A lot of it.

It brought back a cult classic, revived a fandom, and had people genuinely hyped. Now? It’s one bad headline away from getting ripped off Roblox, just like its predecessor. And if these allegations turn out to be true, this isn’t just a bad look – it’s a betrayal. It spits in the face of the community that worked for free and poured their time and energy into something they loved.

Hey Jijijijijijijijijiji (I think I spelt that right), thanks for stopping by!
Yeah, I believe MajinBacon took it down unfortunately, but hopefully it won’t take them too long to get rEXEcution (the new game) up.

The TDR game file

Ohhhhh, my bad. It was just a game on Roblox so it’s not downloadable anywhere, but they took the game down within 24 hours of all of this drama coming out. If you’re looking for a good indie sonic.exe fangame that’s NOT on Roblox – I would recommend Sonic.exe 2D Remake on GameJolt. The only thing is that the developers kept running into payment issues with the servers so the buttons to join the servers don’t work natively so you have to put in the server ip address manually (which they have on their Discord, but if you don’t want to look them up then you can use the following:
North America: 46.17.107.123
South America: 45.82.245.115
West Europe: 185.114.73.39
East Europe: 45.132.255.15
Asia: 193.239.166.93
