1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Hmm, would it be possible to launder money through steam skins?

The paper trail of purchasing from a reputable company seems too risky for laundering. The Dev gets a cut of each store transaction, so maybe that's the plan?

It's not the first time where a click game got viral. But it's probably the first time having this much success. What can I say, if people find it enjoyable, go for it. But what I don't understand is, how people cheat with even such a click game, by using bots. It's so funny.

edit:

Despite this seemingly benign gameplay

Calling this a game or gameplay is funny in itself. People are "playing" the dumbest things if they get bored.
