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.
Still cheaper than all the Sims DLC
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.
This is just a social engineering attack for rich, gullible people.
Why give this scam any publicity? It's been done before.
I can wait. I'll pick it up on a Summer Sale or something when it's 90% off.
About right for the stupid times we live in
Maybe base game yes. But isn't there some train sim game, which with all DLCS is like 6 or 7k?
Money laundering?
Isnt this very against steam ToS?
AI slop description, right?
Probably already on SU
I could've sworn there was some instructional game in steam for like $10k or something. Maybe it was less and/or has since been removed.
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.
I love these. It's a tax on stupid. They prey on rich idiots and I'm 100% for it.
You see the same thing with high fashion brands with atrocious products. Ripping off rich people. Love to see it.
By "future owners" does that mean you have a limited amount of time to play it after purchasing?
Reminds me of this
Money laundering
I have a feeling that this may break certain terms in their Steam agreement, but I'm not sure.
Achievement unlocked: Idiot
The absolute best part of it is...they have one scene. One stage. They require GTX 1060 as minimum. And yet, in my opinion, this still looks like shit graphically. 2004 Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines managed to have better posh ambiance. xD
