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
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.
Yeah, wish I’d thought of it. There are always fools with too much money.
Yeah, I was gonna say it’s neither a joke nor experiment: it’s a bet that some people will try it and at least one person won’t call for a refund, possibly by missing the refund window.
Except steam has a refund policy now, wonder how that’s going to work out
