Remember discussions of "minimum wage machine" a few years ago and economic consequences it will bring? Now we have it!


you wish. it would imply people are buying the clicker game items.

but in reality it's one hundred percent money laundering were bot operators buy from themself.

ridiculous and this is likely a paid article.


I am more willing to believe that more of it was the crypto craze like fomo...

But on bottom it does make some sense. Still I question where do the gift cards needed come in and wouldn't Valve really lock down it if there is significant amount of identified fraud with certain games.


please explain? who's laundering money and how? where do the free coins people and/or bots receive for playing, come from?
