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
Except steam has a refund policy now, wonder how that's going to work out
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.
The Real Congratulations On Your Purchase
Why give this scam any publicity? It's been done before.
It's not a scam, buyers get exactly what is advertised. It would actually be better and funnier if it were a scam.
This is just a social engineering attack for rich, gullible people.
Sorry I commented on the wrong post
I’m reminded of the “I Am Rich” app. The app cost (IIRC) $1000, which was the price cap for the iOS App Store at the time.
And all it did was display a floating diamond on the screen. When you tapped the diamond, it displayed the text “I am rich, I deserve it, I am good, healthy, and successful.” That was it. That was the entire app. It was just a way for rich people to waste their money and show off to their other rich friends that they could afford it.
ngl that's still 6000 bucks, 4000 if you subtract app store fees. That's a damn good result for an app you can probably code in 15 minutes.
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.
Isnt this very against steam ToS?
Probably already on SU
Kinda salty I didn't think to make this first. I'd make it an exclusive first-person game with proximity vc.
If some chud wants to give me way too much money just to prove he has it, I'll take it. I'll take it and buy a steak dinner for my wife and I and donate the rest to the DSA.

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.
