‘I was this close’: Teenage dev’s $200 joke game made nearly $1.4 million on Steam before the refunds came flooding in

A game titled "This Game Costs 200 Dollars" was released on Steam priced at [openai_gpt model="gpt-4o-mini" prompt="Summarize the content and extract only the fact described in the text bellow. The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: In an intriguing twist within the gaming industry, a title known as This Game Costs 200 Dollars has emerged on Steam, quite literally priced at 0. The game, described as a "psychological 'comedic' experience," boldly claims to be worth "every single cent" of its inflated cost. While skepticism might be a natural response, the allure of this unconventional offering briefly transformed its developer, 18-year-old Michael Major of Stolen Valor Studios, into a millionaire. The Backstory Major shared his unexpected journey with WMUR-TV, as reported by GamesRadar. Released on January 30, this game serves as a sequel to This Game Costs 10 Dollars, which debuted just days earlier. Initially conceived as a joke, Major never anticipated that anyone would actually purchase it. However, a few months down the line, he discovered that sales had soared to nearly .4 million. Despite the absurdity of the situation, Major maintains a light-hearted approach. He seems unfazed by the potential scrutiny that might come from critics, including any hypothetical backlash from a "Pyongyang button man." His nonchalant attitude extends to the game itself, which boasts a description of "200 dollars worth of pure joy, amazement, and awkward conversations." In a cheeky nod to its nature, the "about this game" section refers to it as "the swindle to end all swindles." A Unique Offering Throughout the game's store page, Major insists that This Game Costs 200 Dollars is indeed a legitimate game. He describes it as "a real mind-bending experience unlike anything that has ever been done before." While these claims may hold a grain of truth, the overall presentation is so absurd that anyone willing to part with 0 for it might find themselves questioning their decision. For context, the gaming landscape is not without its own peculiar pricing structures. Titles like Congratulations On Your Purchase and The Leverage Game carry ,000 price tags, while True Love is listed at 0. Even Beach Volleyball Competition, which offers a demo, comes in at 0. In any case, while Major may not have become an instant millionaire, he certainly made a notable profit, with documentation indicating that his net earnings from this venture exceed ,000—a commendable outcome for a teenage endeavor." max_tokens="3500" temperature="0.3" top_p="1.0" best_of="1" presence_penalty="0.1" frequency_penalty="frequency_penalty"], described as a "psychological 'comedic' experience."

Miss Samsung Messages? This Third-Party App Recreates One UI Chat Experience

Samsung has phased out its Samsung Messages app in the U.S., leading users to switch to Google Messages. A new third-party app, Messages by OzarksMade, has been developed to replicate the look and feel of Samsung's original messaging tool. This app offers two modes: Standalone Mode for SMS and MMS messaging, and Companion Mode for Rich Communication Services (RCS) features, which relies on the pre-installed Google Messages app. Messages by OzarksMade is currently in open beta testing on Google Play and will be officially launched for a one-time purchase price of [openai_gpt model="gpt-4o-mini" prompt="Summarize the content and extract only the fact described in the text bellow. The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: Samsung has officially phased out its native Samsung Messages app in the United States, prompting long-time Galaxy users to transition to Google Messages as their default text messaging client. For those who find themselves nostalgic for the familiar interface and organization of Samsung’s original software, a new alternative has emerged to fill that void. Enter Messages by OzarksMade—a third-party application designed to replicate the look, feel, and navigation of Samsung’s retired messaging tool. How it works and the RCS catch Created by the U.S.-based developer OzarksMade, this app specifically caters to enthusiasts of One UI, incorporating classic design elements such as rounded cards, collapsible headers, conversation categories, chip filters, and a dedicated trash bin for recovering deleted texts, as reported by Android Authority. Messages by OzarksMade offers two distinct operational modes tailored to different texting needs: Standalone Mode: This basic setup allows users to send traditional SMS and MMS messages directly, without any additional software requirements. Companion Mode: For those seeking the full suite of Rich Communication Services (RCS) features—such as typing indicators, read receipts, blue bubbles, group chats, and high-resolution media sharing—the app seamlessly transitions into this mode. However, it’s important to note that Google restricts direct third-party access to its RCS backend. Consequently, Companion Mode operates by leveraging the pre-installed Google Messages app, which runs quietly in the background. The developer has indicated that this setup utilizes Google’s Jibe infrastructure, the same backend that powered Samsung Messages for seven years. As a result, users can enjoy the same reliable messaging experience while wrapped in the nostalgic One UI design. Availability, pricing, and potential hurdles Currently, Messages by OzarksMade is in an open beta testing phase available through Google Play. The developer plans to officially launch the app 14 days after its Google Group testing reaches a minimum of 12 members.

Text: Samsung officially retired its native Samsung Messages app in the U.S. Earlier this month, steering long-time Galaxy owners toward Google Messages as the default text client. However, for users who miss the familiar layout, colors, and organization of Samsung’s original software, a new third-party creation wants to bring that exact experience back. We’re talking about Messages by OzarksMade, an alternative, third-party app that recreates the look, feel, and navigation of Samsung‘s retired messaging tool. How it works and the RCS catch The tool was developed by U.S.-based creator OzarksMade. It explicitly targets One UI enthusiasts, copying classic layout touches like rounded cards, collapsible headers, conversation categories, chip filters, and a dedicated trash bin for recovered texts (via Android Authority). It offers two distinct operational setups depending on your texting needs. The basic Standalone Mode handles traditional SMS and MMS texting directly without extra software dependencies. Then, for full Rich Communication Services (RCS) chat features—including typing indicators, read receipts, blue bubbles, group chats, and high-resolution media sharing—the app switches to Companion Mode. Google restricts direct third-party access to its RCS backend. So, Companion Mode relies on the pre-installed Google Messages app running silently in the background. The developer notes this uses Google’s Jibe infrastructure—the same backend Samsung Messages used for seven years. This means your texts travel through identical networks while wrapped in the classic One UI design. Availability, pricing, and potential hurdles The app is currently running an open beta testing phase through Google Play. There are plans to officially launch 14 days after its Google Group testing threshold reaches 12 members. Once development finishes and the app leaves beta, OzarksMade plans to sell it for a one-time purchase price of $0.99. Scheduled updates already promise to add customizable chat themes, which are missing from the current beta build. That said, using an unofficial clone comes with obvious caveats.
