<\/section>\n

Steam users are questioning the legitimacy of a $1,000 game that basically has no gameplay, and are wondering how it made its way onto Valve\u2019s platform in the first place.<\/p>\n

Congratulations On Your Purchase describes itself as the most expensive game on Steam, and admits the experience only lasts 10 minutes. You walk a red carpet then leave your name on a wall, which is visible to every player who comes after you. The $999.99 price, the Steam description insists, \u201cis not a mistake. It is the point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Steam store page for Congratulations On Your Purchase is riddled with errors and was either deliberately or mistakenly formatted incorrectly (\u201cYou paid for this.<br><br>Not accidentally. Not on impulse. You saw the price. You read the description. And then you bought it anyway.<br><br>Welcome.<br><br>\u201d) The developer is listed as \u201cMinimum Viable Prestige,\u201d and the publisher is called \u201cWorth It Studio.\u201d Neither has any other game on Steam. The AI disclosure admits generative AI was used to create the store page artwork, but insists the game does not use or generate AI content.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

There is an official website for Congratulations On Your Purchase, which includes the aforementioned wall. There are three signatures on it, one of which is a slur. If we are to believe the game works in the way the Steam store description says it does, then these signatures represent people who actually paid for the game and wrote their name on the wall, although I can\u2019t imagine anyone wouldn\u2019t seek a refund immediately after.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no combat. There are no enemies,\u201d the store page continues. \u201cThere are no quests, no skill trees, no loot boxes \u2014 well, there is one box, but it contains only the feeling of having arrived somewhere important. You will walk. You will look. You will leave something behind. That is all. That is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even a note on \u201cvalue.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe question of whether this experience is worth $999.99 is, philosophically speaking, unanswerable. Worth is constructed. Price is arbitrary. The fact that you are reading this suggests you are already considering it \u2014 which means the answer, for you, may already be yes. We respect that about you. Congratulations, again, on your purchase.<br>Or your consideration of your purchase. Either way \u2014 welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

And that\u2019s it. The Steam forum for the game is filled with people calling it a scam and saying Valve shouldn\u2019t allow it on the store. \u201cScam to exploit money from people,\u201d one person said. \u201cNot a game, on the same par as Air Control 2014. That was removed as should this. Flagged for Fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I thought scams were prohibited on Steam lmao,” another added. “I guess its a good IQ test, if someone has it, they shouldn’t be even legally allowed to drive.”<\/p>\n

Some are taking issue with calling Congratulations On Your Purchase a scam because it’s up front about what it is and what it’s charging.<\/p>\n

“I mean it isn’t a scam though?” one Steam user said. “It is a highly inadvisable purchase but at the end of the day you can sell a pile of garbage for a million dollars it doesn’t mean that anyone would be stupid enough to buy it but nothing against it is a scam as long as you communicate that it is a piece of trash and isn’t something that it isn’t.” Others are making a joke of it, asking when it will be in a Steam sale.<\/p>\n

There are currently no Steam user reviews for Congratulations On Your Purchase, and SteamDB<\/a> shows it has zero current players. It\u2019s unclear what Valve will do here. Will it pull the game from Steam? The game launched on May 28, so it\u2019s nearly a month old. But it\u2019s currently marked as \u201cSteam is learning about this game,\u201d which means it\u2019s not currently eligible to appear in certain showcases on your Steam profile, nor does it contribute to global Achievement or game collector counts. So perhaps it\u2019s not long for this world.<\/p>\n

Valve has always employed a laissez-faire attitude to the Steam store, letting its policies, processes, and the community do the bulk of the curation work. It\u2019s come under fire multiple times over the years for allowing questionable \u201cgames\u201d on its platform. Sometimes Valve removes them, sometimes it doesn\u2019t. It rarely comments publicly on its decisions.<\/p>\n
