[DEBUNKED] Fake glitches

[Hay]

There's another one going around involving bushes, I guess? It apparently involves having 4 types of bushes/dug up bushes in your inventory can like.. ruin your save file/switch? The ONLY proof as far as I know is just.. a screenshot of a discord chat, so.. I dunno.

I tested it with four bushes but not different ones. I heard people were saying that either one crashed. I can still test this though! c:

Yeah it's been tested and it's also fake!

I do not own a twitter account, but if anyone does can they please confirm its not true? (In a nice way please!) No one needs to be scared from turning on their switch or even playing the game!

I've tweeted in response to it with a link to the thread!

Listen yall I still had anxiety talking to leif each time haha! I knew it was fake but my switch has been running for like 2 hours and its all hot in the dock so I didnt want it to explode! LOL!

Not surprised haha. With only a discord screenshot to go off of I was expecting a debunk fairly fast

CONFIRMED:
​

Having a present and talking to Leif will NOT bug your game!
Just popped a ballon and ran to leif, bought a starter, my game is working.

The starter is above the first red bush in the last row. the "ser" is covering it

I'll test this too! C:

I thought they were talking about an item wrapped on wrapping paper, like those you can buy on Nook's Cranny, not the presents that fall after you pop a balloon

It's probably fake, I've had 4 different types of bushes in my inventory for a while when I was decorating my island and nothing happened. It's most likely fake, most stuff like this are. It's just for clout.

Ive tested every theory Ive seen so far and nothing happened to me c: Very upsetting that people are lying for clout.

I think they meant bushes of 4 types that had been dug up--I dunno if they meant nursery ones or fully grown, but either way, it sounds waaaaay suss.

I mean it's not new, but yeah, this is stupid. And the fact people are believing this and bashing the devs and play testers because of misinformation is messed up :/

Apparently the person who posted the first tweet has done stuff like this before, and it was untrue. He's just a clout chaser.

very, very, gross! :c Why?!

 

[edsett]

Making up false rumors to scare players is so scummy.

 

[Spooky.]

What's sad is that even though it's being de-bunked I'm still now nervous about this and am now afraid to use bushes or anything. I doubt I'll be using 3 or 4 different kinds of bushes anyway but now I'm still afraid.

Honestly it should be ok!! I'm sure the devs would've tested for any huge glitches especially after the villager one

Honestly, me too. My severe anxiety issues definitely don't help, especially since I don't have my medication due to the COVID19 scare. I can't really get to my Doctor for a prescription renewal since their office is so packed for the next month.

Maybe change the topic title to something that shows the bug is declared to be fake now?

I really don't understand why people do these kind of things btw :/ What do they even get out of it?!
