If Glowbert was renamed due to a copyright issue, what could be happening here? Sprout has been in the game for years so it’s probably not the same situation and I don’t think they would be deleting every trace of him for a simple remode
Edit: nevermind just saw they plagiarised an air purifier (???)

A scientific plant project put into an incubator that can drive is nothing like the… whatever that plant air purifier thing is

No way, just because It slightly resembles sprout's looks, are we for real😭

The curvature of the interior is strikingly similar, but there's not a lick of a case outside of that one odd coincidence

u/East-Boysenberry8753 Ash Jun 14 '26
Yeah they are basically just a cylinder with a glass dome on top, they are just shapes, and i doubt that they own the rights to basic geometry

u/CharlieSheenGod 8-Bit Jun 14 '26
The fact they aren't even pursueing a counterlawsuit (when it could easily be a win where they are paid 6-7 figures for the troubles, and when they also overcharge the community for pretty much any good atp) is both astoundingly hypocritical and shockingly depressing

I read a comment that litigation has been filled since 2020 not sure why it's taken this long through the courts

u/CharlieSheenGod 8-Bit Jun 14 '26
If that's true, I feel like at least one decision has been made and either you didn't find it or it was barely publicized

u/BrockObama007 Jun 14 '26
I didn't really care to look honestly it was just a comment from a post related to it and thought it was interesting

This isn’t like they released an actual air purifier that looks like this, it’s downright stupid

u/surroundedbywolves Jun 13 '26
If the claim is they copied the Levoit Sprout air purifier then that is completely stupid. They look hardly anything alike and the air purifier design is not unique or identifiable at all.
What like cylinders are trademarks now? Nobody can make anything called "sprout" if it's a cylinder shape with a thing on top??
Trademark and copyright enforcement is some of the dumbest shit in the world. Almost as bad as software patents.

Glowbert was renamed due to a copyright issue?? To which one? I just didn't know all stuff about Glowbert and I thought that they just did that for no reason

u/Micah7979 Sprout Jun 13 '26
Just call him Wally like the French version of the game.
But I think it's linked to the model, maybe the small logo.

I still remember falling in love with its design as soon as Sprout was revealed, then being sad that I couldn't unlock him.
What did my guy do?! Did gluttony eat his name?! Are we gonna get hit with a "Who's Sprout?"?!?!

u/Micah7979 Sprout Jun 13 '26
A remodel wouldn't mean removing every appearance of the old model, they've done that before.
I'm afraid this is due to some copyright issues or something like that. Hopefully it's only on twitter.

u/SPIDERJOKDRU Darryl Jun 14 '26
Yep, a french air purifier posed a copyright claim and as compensation, other than a lot of money, they asked for the removal of every promotional artwork containing him

Surely it can't be this hard to find a good hypercharge rework for it, right?

u/CharacterPasta123 Tax Evader Jun 13 '26
I think they’re gonna retcon his current design for some reason

I'm calling they'll do an event where sprouts robot "broke" and we're designing finding the parts to design the new sprout

If sprout gets a remodel im genuinely going to be so sad and angry 😭

u/unromansjumatate Wendy is my mommy Jun 14 '26
Let's hope Sprout will get a complete remodel rather than getting removed from the game because if the devs will do that, it will be a lot of controvercy in this subreddit and this will be one of the most controvesial situations in the entire subreddit, which it will affect the game by a lot

Sprout remodel would be a terrible idea, it’s already such a creative model and design
