A recent Steam release has been making the social media rounds of late. Congratulations On Your Purchase is a, I hesitate to say 'game,' but a product, released at the end of May, that costs $1,000 / £748. "You paid for this. Not accidentally. Not on impulse. You saw the price. You read the description. And then you bought it anyway. Welcome" reads the description. Kind of. There's actually a bunch of broken HTML in there I can't copy over without confusing our CMS.
It's a status symbol, in essence: a 2026 replay of that I Am Rich iPhone app from 2008. The intention is that Steam users with more money than sense see it, purchase it, and flaunt it as a testament to their fantastic wealth, while also conveniently signing themselves up for the guillotine come the October Revolution 2.
