According to its creators:
This game is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that prestige has a price.
They also describe it as “the most expensive game on Steam.”
Players enter a palace, walk a red carpet, and see their names displayed for future owners. No idea if this game is a joke or a social experiment
About right for the stupid times we live in
Money laundering?
Isnt this very against steam ToS?
Probably already on SU
Why give this scam any publicity? It’s been done before.
I can wait. I’ll pick it up on a Summer Sale or something when it’s 90% off.
Maybe at 99.999% off
This is just a social engineering attack for rich, gullible people.
Sorry I commented on the wrong post

It’s a grift - get one idiot to buy it and you’ll have made a profit. Not an original idea either, “I Am Rich” was pretty much the same thing back in 2008.
Except steam has a refund policy now, wonder how that’s going to work out
Still cheaper than all the Sims DLC
The Real Congratulations On Your Purchase
Not that there’s a big overlap of people who care about those games and people who use Lemmy, but most people bought the DLC on deep discount. And they’ve stopped doing those discounts like they used to.
They also re-introduced premium currency to buy micro DLC, which is something they did with the previous game that was universally hated and they didn’t re-implement in the current one for a decade.
AI slop description, right?
Yep.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
Some of the store page artwork for this game was created with the assistance of generative AI image tools. The game itself does not use or generate AI content at runtime.There’s no way a dev is lazy enough to generate their game’s Steam page with AI, and not use it during development as well.
