Banana has taken Steam by storm recently, yesterday knocking Baldur’s Gate 3 out of the top 10 most popular games on Valve’s platform (in terms of peak concurrent players).
In Banana, players click on the image of a banana – or simply leave the software running – to eventually get a banana dropped into their Steam inventory. As we previously reported, these bananas can be sold in Steam’s marketplace, with some going for pennies while others have a much higher asking price.
Since Banana started gaining popularity on Steam, there has been speculation this is all some kind of scam. This concern was exacerbated when it transpired one of the developers behind Banana had previously been involved in a “Steam market ‘bitcoin’ scam/bug”. However, other team members have assured the community the game is not a scam, and more content will be coming soon.
