I have to imagine that the intersection of people who both have money to blow and would want a trophy for spending money are quite slim, but I guess you only need a few suckers to buy in to make a few K.

    If it takes 10 minutes, couldn't you play it, beat it, and return it?

    Not that I'd want to float $1K for a game, but usually you can return something after <2 hours, no questions asked. Maybe beating the game locks you out of that?

    I suppose you don't get to display the achievement on your profile and your name won't be in the game anymore, so that kinda defeats the point. You're not paying to play a game, you're paying to show off the money you have, kinda like fashion brands.

    This reminds me of the I Have Money app in the early Iphone days.

    I have no issue with scams intended to rob rich idiots of their money. It's essentially just a form of Robin Hood wealth distribution.
