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.
Except steam has a refund policy now, wonder how that’s going to work out
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.
