  If it takes 10 minutes, couldn’t you play it, beat it, and return it?

  Not that I’d want to float $1K for a game, but usually you can return something after <2 hours, no questions asked. Maybe beating the game locks you out of that?

  Step 1: buy game Step 2: play Step 3: your playtime is well under 2 hours. Refund the game.

  This reminds me of the I Have Money app in the early Iphone days.

  After Star Citizen I’m not surprised by anything anymore.

  I have no issue with scams intended to rob rich idiots of their money. It’s essentially just a form of Robin Hood wealth distribution.

  I have to imagine that the intersection of people who both have money to blow and would want a trophy for spending money are quite slim, but I guess you only need a few suckers to buy in to make a few K.
