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, 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.

    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.
