Banana Game Developer Says It’s Not a Scam

Video games have been a primary form of leisure activity for millions of people for many years. Time devoted to video games has surpassed the time we spent on activities like going to the movies or even playing sports, completely changing society to become more sedentary. It’s funny to see how people can get addicted to different games, although we can’t understand how some of them can be enjoyable. Just like there are people who spend hours playing slot machines, so in video games such as Banana which are based on execution
clicks, growth skins and sell them for money They are also very successful, and despite all the controversy they have caused recently, one of their developers mentioned that the game itself is not a scam.

You will be surprised to see that there are people who are willing to play Counter-Strike just to make money. They may not like the game and they may not like it, but the possibility that there may be skins that will sell for big money motivates them to play tens or hundreds of hours to see if one of them comes out. Same with all these NFT games this happened at a time when these tokens were on the rise, but then they fell. The opportunity to earn money by playing video games is an idea that attracts the attention of many people, who are fans of video games or not, and who, out of curiosity, end up trying the experience.

One of Banana’s developers claims that his game is not a scam because it is similar to investing and is based on speculation.

Banana is a case of clicking game, also called Idle Game, where the gameplay is just that and watching the meter rise. When the game was released on Steam in April, it only reached 16 simultaneous players and we can understand that because looking at it this way, it seems like it’s a video game that doesn’t offer much in terms of enjoyment. However, months passed and the number of players skyrocketed to surpass over 850,000 on Steam. This boom among players is caused by nothing more than the opportunity to play, get random skins and sell them to earn money.

Apart from the fact that many players were happy with what the game offered, there was also a large group of people and even famous YouTubers who harshly criticized the game, considering it a scam and a way to waste our time. Now one of the game developers called Thecelions,
stated that the game Banana is not a scam and it’s simple speculative video game where we are talking about real money. He compared it to investing in venture capital, where you know the time and money you invest could end up going well or ending up badly.

The developer has a past where he was involved in cheating in another game.

To continue protecting the Banana game, the developer guarantees that it does not consume even 1% of resources from your PC, so people take advantage of the opportunity to run multiple instances of the game using many accounts to get more rare items. This statement from developer Theselions takes on a different meaning when it is revealed that he was involved in a market manipulation scam several years ago. This happened when he and another group of users managed to make money by selling “Bitcoins” in a game called Run!. This game was
remote and after this scam it was prohibited to sell this object.

Developer expresses regret and regret about what happened in the past, but he insists that Banana will be different and not limited to a click-to-play game. They want to release many updates and expand the game by adding more content and new
mechanical.
