Animal Crossing: New Horizons should be a laid back, calming game, but gamers are gamers and that means taking some things to the…extreme.

Whether it is island overhauls through terraforming or holding yard sales, Animal Crossing players don’t do anything half-assed. Apparently, they can also be pretty greedy, with players with high turnip prices (think the stock market) offering players access to their island in exchange for exorbitant fees and trades.

We’ve gathered together ten of our favorite tweets showing just how wild Animal Crossing players can be, check them out below.

Animal Crossing has a black market and I AM TERRIFIED

The Animal Crossing black market is honestly so entertaining. I don’t even play ACNH but hearing my roommate talk about it has been amazing. pic.twitter.com/Ct4TddI9NH
