Why is 'Banana' so high on the Steam Hot Play List?

I wonder if any players have noticed this phenomenon. Among the many well-known popular games, there is a click game that has entered the forefront and has long dominated the top ten of Steam Most Played. Yes, it is 'Banana'.

As a click game, it does not have the complicated operations and pictures of other RPGs or MMOs, but only a jpeg image. All players need to do is click on this jpeg, repeatedly. This game is similar to the previous 'Egg'. In fact, its creator also said that this is a worse egg game.

So why is this game still very popular and has a very high number of online players? In fact, this is related to its game nature. Like 'Egg', the things that come with 'Banana' are not the same as the game itself. After all, this game has no configuration requirements at all. In contrast, 'Banana' is actually more closely related to steam items.

Players only need to enter this game occasionally and click once to get items. After that, players can take the risk of entering the Steam Market to sell or buy these items.

In addition, there are special events for rare, event-based bananas. After entering the game and playing for a minute, players can return to the game every few hours and click to collect another banana, and then repeat.

Usually these bananas are sold at a low price, with the most being only a few cents, but this is not absolute. Some special bananas, such as Diamond Banana, can be sold for a lot of money. After digging deeper, I know that grinding for bananas, and investment are the main reasons why players keep this game online.

Well, to put it more intuitively, the steam market has been around for a long time. In fact, 'Banana' is an idle game, but it is not the first idle game that drop items. So if you really want to join the sport, speculative banana jpeg is indeed a good choice, at least much better than crypto.
