<\/strong>A new clicker game called Dead Profit<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is sold for 15,719 yen (roughly $136) in Japan, and some users are confused by it. LayerQ<\/a>, an influencer in Japan, reports. The game recently came out as an early access title on Steam for $1.36\/\u00a31.00, so the pricing in Japan is significantly higher than the intended price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead Profit<\/em> is a clicker game where you play as a weapon supplier who provides magical items to parties involved in a war between Hell and the Above. Resources and item forging happens passively, and you have to optimize the process to make sure you have the right resources and the right amount needed to craft requested items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
