"Coconut" is another cash grab scam game, functionally no different from an NFT/blockchain item mining game. A "me too" ripoff of the "banana" scamware, the idea behind this is to abuse the Steam Community Market instead of an NFT blockchain to create virtual items, from which the developer gets a cut every time they are traded.

And of course you know the developer farmed up a lot of them himself to sell for his own profit. This is, quite simply, a scam, and Valve should take action against this kind of thing... it's not a real game for gamers, it's just here to abuse the marketplace and scam people for a zero effort clicker.

This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. But that was never the point, this was never intended to be a real game.

So, on pricing, the real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever.

This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games.Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
