A new Steam game called Congratulations On Your Purchase is priced at $1000, making it one of the most expensive titles on the platform.

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 love that family sharing is enabled. Which means people who didn't pay for it could still play it and add their name to the wall.

Probably an easy way to rack up a couple grand fast, even if it doesn't take off.

I wonder if you can buy it have your name put up and then refund it

Even if only one person buys it, that covers the cost of vibe coding this shit.

The iPhone did it over a decade ago with I AM RICH, an app that just showed a diamond. Or a ruby? IIRC it was red. The app simply opened an image anyone could get. Rappers and other influencers bought it just to show it off. Showing the image was cheap, anyone could do that. Showing it open from the app on your Home Screen (before you could use Shortcuts to fake it) was the prestige. And people did it.
