Creative Developer Launched Steam Clone That Allows You to "Buy" Games Without Money
"Games but no games."
Mike Wing
This Steam Summer Sale is especially successful, with classics like The Binding of Isaac, LIMBO, and Celeste selling for just a fraction of their original price and opening whole new worlds to players.
However, tons of great games require tons of money, so developer Mike Wing has a solution.
He is "addicted to buying digital games on Steam," but with his new site, he doesn't have to worry about expenses: Steam Sales Simulator lets him purchase all the games he wants and earn achievements without spending a cent.
"I made a website that gives me the same dopamine of buying games without spending actual money."
One obvious disadvantage over real Steam is that, well, you can't play what you buy. "Games but no games," Wing said. Oh well, you can't have it all.
It's the feeling that matters, and the developer capitalized on it by adding a community marketplace, so now "you can sell items you don't own for money that doesn't exist."
If you decide to try out this unique experience, be warned that at the moment, your browser might block Wing's Steam Sale simulator, so proceed at your own risk.
