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

I’m reminded of the “I Am Rich” app. The app cost (IIRC) $1000, 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.

Lol didn’t it get delisted? I think the dev mentioned only like 6 people ever bought it.
Surprised steam hasn’t done the same.

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.
