Do you think the game is a pyramid scam?

Nothing good ever comes out of me, does anyone?

[Dude Kosovo]

really? isn't it a little obvious? But just don't buy and you're safe abusing steam items, it is cheap money but it is still free money. If you sell a humongous ammount i suggest you use the money to start trading in CS, it is WAY less shady. The dev of this game has his inventory private and some people speculate only him and few of his friends have actual rare bananas. I don't have any proof of this, but his inventory was private when i last checked.

You get stuff for free, that's not how pyramid schemes work.

This Games will be like most NFT, it will not stay long.
But what made this Games so sucessfull?
Mostly the Hope of the Players to get something of Worth and sell it.
Problem is, each Item is worth something maybe some Hours or a few Days and then they drop to the smallest possible Price of 3 Cent.
In the Time you use up Power for the Computer between 10 and 40 Cent per Hour (300-1000 Watts).
I have play the 4 Main Players Banana, Egg, Cucumber and Cats for around 150-250 Hours and got nothing better as maybe 6 Cent, but I now have offer all my Drops in the Market and 35-40 of my 45 Pages are just this 3 Cent Items.

3 Cent is not much.
If 250.000 Players would be able to sell 4 Items, they would get 4 Cent.
On the other Side Valve, the Company behind Steam and the Dev would get 1 Million Cent or 10.000 Euro/Dollar from it.

If I check the Standard Items of each Game I see this for sales of just 24 Hours:

Banana: 1.213.904 Sales or 12.139,04 Euro/Dollar
Egg: 522.400 Sales or 5.224 Euro/Dollar
All Cucumbers are just under 1000 Sales so something around 6 Euro/Dollar
COLORED Christmas Uncommon: 158,599 Sales or 1.585,99 Euro/Dollar

This is every Day.
So like a Snowball System, the only who earn Money are Steam (thats why they not remove the Games) and the Dev.

wow you are naive

Maybe you can watch a video about it and decide for yourself

Something is fishy about it. For instance, the basic yellow Banana. It says it sold over 1 million in the past 24 hours for 3 cents. Yet i have had one on the market for 3 weeks for that and its never sold. And why would anyone actually buy that banana in the first place, you get them every day.

Thats what I have written.
The Game not steal your Data or farm Crypto, its a Money Machine.
Here it is Bananas, elswhere are Bored Apes.
In both are one Item in many Variations and both are NFT, mean you can't made copys and give them to others.
Bananas are working with Fomo, the "Fear of missing out".
People get the Hope to get something of worth, so the Devs play with the Greed of the Players to get free Money, but just the Dev and Valve are geting the big Money.
Like many shady Crypto Money, it is not regulated, not safe and you just loose Money.
Now you will maybe ask, but the Game is free and the Bananas are free too.
But they are not free.
If you're not have a Solar Panel, a Wind Generator or something else to generate Power, you pay (depending on the Prices in your Area) between 5 and 40 cents per Hour to tun the Computer who run the Game and for this you get every 3 hours a 3 Cent Banana, you can sell for 1 Cent.
The Devs can mostly ignore the Game and they still get every 24 Hours more Money from it, as a normal working Person get in a Month.

The most Sales are automated by Farming Bots.
If the User5s and maybe some of the Devs are from russia it is even possible, they are Money Makers for the russian Regime to fund Weapons (just a guess).

If the Devs are the People behind the run game, then its possible Banana will be banned some Day too, all Bananas will be lost and no one get the Money for their used Power back.
