How does that even work if say I buy a game at $10 and then I uninstall and install 51 times?
You’ve entered into a brand new era of trolling game developers by directing costing them for the fun of it.
I can even automate it for pennies.
Spin up 100 digital ocean droplets with Terra form. Install steam, the game, open the game, let it crash. Kill the droplet and do it again.
For every $0.70 I spend, I could get ~2000 installs. Per hour. Costing some dev up to $400/h
That’s the cool part, it doesn’t.
They don’t count reinstalls.
You can tell because they totally promise and definitely won’t let you see how their system works because it’s “proprietary”.
