Pay To Win - A game where you pay real money for fake internet points

by
Pay To Win is a minimalist web game that turns the absurdity of modern monetization into the whole point. Buy points to climb a leaderboard. Recruit friends into your referral pyramid. Log in daily for random bonuses. It's a transparent critique of pay-to-win games, MLM schemes, and the attention economy...and you're complicit in the joke.

Hey PH! Back in 2014 I graduated from college with a degree in game design. I had this idea but...well life got away from me. Now it's quite a while later and I've been learning programming and stuff. I finally got around to making this game happen. It's a game that's 100% honest about what it is: you pay real money for meaningless points. It's a critique of pay-to-win games, MLM schemes, and the attention economy in general, but also genuinely playable. There's a leaderboard, a referral pyramid, daily login bonuses, and loot box codes I'm scattering around the internet. Here's one for you: PRODUCTHUNT for 2026 points If you sign up and leave a comment with your username (free) I'll award you randomly generated number of points between 1 and 1000. I also plan to add more games to this over time...but I gotta get back to my day job now so I'll see you at lunch.
