Steam Joke Game's 1.4 Million Dollar Sales Collapse to 2,000 After Refunds
Stolen Valor Studios' joke game 'This Game Costs 200 Dollars' sold about 6,700 copies, earning roughly 1.4 million dollars, but 99.9 percent of purchases were refunded, leaving developer Michael Major with about 2,000 dollars. Nearly all buyers were in China, and Major suspects a promotion or scheme drove the surge.
