Alexnewtron

AlexnewtronAlexnewtron is an American game developer most known for MeepCity, an online game where you upgrade your house, start parties, and stylize your “Meep”. Similar to games such as Club Penguin and ToonTown, it was the first game to reach 1 billion visits. The game is popular on iOS and Android devices, however, it is available for PC as well.

Binello created his account on December 15, 2007, and started to develop games after seeing other users make them, and June 24, 2009, Binello creates Ultimate Survive an Erupting Volcano. The game’s main focus was to survive a volcano, and is similar to present-day survival games on Roblox. On December 5, 2009, Alex had toyed with a space gun and reverse-engineered it to become a dodgeball, and Alex’s second game, Dodgeball, was created. He later made Wheel of Fortune, based off of the TV show with the same name on December 23, 2009.

Roughly around the same time, Alex created MeepCity (previously SocialMeeps), an online chat room where users could customize their “meeps”, round circles that can be equipped with Roblox hats and chat with the community. Binello used the site to get early beta testers for MeepCity and Robot Blox. The site was shut down March 2015 to get users of the site to switch to the Roblox game. Setherroni, a close friend of Alex, took over the group.

Binello added to his interests when he made Roblox Dodgeball in 2015. Roblox Dodgeball started to gain popularity in 2016 and has plans to improve in 2018 and 2019.

On January 29, 2018, he became the first user to hit 1 billion visits. He was formally designated the first user to have a game hit 1,000,000,000 visits on January 30, 2018 with a registered visit amount of 1,432,915,567 by Roblox, becoming the first user to hit a billion visits.

Business career
After creating his Roblox account, Binello transitioned from playing games, and he created Ultimate Survive an Erupting Volcano. The game had players surviving erupting volcano, and led Binello to be a success. Binello has claimed he doesn’t want to work on the game anymore, and the game is still active as of April 24, 2018.

MeepCity
In late 2011, Binello decided to make a website. He left his passion on Roblox and created SocialMeeps after working with his friend, setheroni. He used the money from working at Disney to run the site. Although MeepCity was originally an online chat, Binello had always planned to expand to fulfill his passion. Three years after Binello renamed SocialMeeps to MeepCity, he shut down the site in 2016 to work on MeepCity for Roblox. The first MeepCity game was Star Ball, and Binello continued to work into 2016 to make MeepCity. Binello released MeepCity Racing in 2017 to rival Vehicle Simulator.

Wheel of Fortune
From 2014, Alex created a game becoming a big hit, by the name "Wheel of Fortune". It is also based on the Wheel of Fortune show, but the wheel was been changed from now because Alex have created Wild Cards for it. In this game, players must play different rounds and try to win at the last round. Players were fomerly forced to pay to play the game in order to get in one of the different servers. Around 2015, he removed paid access and made the game free, much to the annoyance of most users who paid to play the game before.

Apples to Apples
Alex created a 2D Roblox game by the name of Apples to Apples on ROBLOX, based on the card game named the same name by Mattel . The game was a huge hit. ROBLOX took down the game after they received a "Cease and Desist" letter from Mattel asking ROBLOX to take the game down. Alex complied and later changed the name to "Oranges to Oranges", defeating the Copyright. Alex soon re-created the game in 2013 as "Pears to Pairs", becoming a big hit again.

Public image

 * Binello is accused of being a supporter of online daters on Roblox, and a greedy game developer who puts profits before players. Some have gone as far to say that he himself is an online dater due to perceived inaction over tackling the act in MeepCity.
 * During 2009, Binello was criticized for copying Apples to Apples, and many said Mattel would file a DMCA claim. This was proven to be correct, and Binello was forced to change the name from “Apples to Apples” to “Oranges to Oranges”, and finally deciding on “Pears to Pairs” in 2013.
