It seems that Banana is the game that everyone wanted without knowing itgiven the success it is recording on Steam, where it broke another record, surpassing 800,000 concurrent players. More precisely, it recorded a peak of 858,915 players, placing it immediately behind Counter-Strike 2 among the most played titles on the platform, which in itself is a miracle. However, one wonders how far he can go.

Interestingly, despite its success, it does not appear in the global ranking of the platform, that of the games that produce the most revenue. The reason? Its business is not recorded by the Steam charts, given that is based on selling items outside of the game. So, unlike a free-to-play game where the market is made up of in-game purchases, in Banana you obtain items that are then sold or purchased on the Steam market.
After all, it is a game that a developer with a minimum of experience could create in half a day, considering that all you do is click the mouse to make a meter go up. So the developer earns practically doing nothing. Valve makes money without doing anything, taking its share, and players collect some change by simply keeping the game open and selling what they have obtained, to people who evidently cannot live without owning all the Banana items, and then make amends and call themselves an idiot. alone. Consider that we are talking about millions of players overall, for what is a real phenomenon that should be studied carefully.
In any case, at this point Banana only has one goal left to achieve: the throne of Counter-Strike 2. Will he be able to become the most played ever on PC, standing out from all the competition?
