Even after refunds, a surprising number of people kept the expensive game on Valve's platform.
The short version
- Even after massive refunds, a surprising number of people kept the expensive game Eighteen-year-old Michael Major wasn't expecting his silly game idea to blow up on Steam earlier this year.
- He had already published a variation of the same concept a couple of days prior, and that title didn't really find an audience.
- But when Major logged in to see how his new PC game was doing, he couldn't believe the numbers on his screen.
What happened
As originally reported by New Hampshire's WMUR TV , Major's first release on the PC gaming platform was a title called This Game Costs $10 . It was a joke, and Major didn't try to hide it.
Why it matters
The game's description dares users to purchase the "psychological thriller" game because he worked very hard on it and "deserved" it.
