You create the best quality (in innovation graphics, story, music, gameplay) game in the world.
BUT
It has such horrendous business practices (e.g. microtransactions, Origin, etc) like EA that almost everybody hates you and the game.

You get 100,000 whole units of your country's currency!
BUT
For each one of those units spent, a random life dies. If your currency uses decimal values, then getting those means a random schmuck also gets broken/disabled body parts. The closer to the next whole number, the more body parts get affected and with greater intensity, and (s)he dies upon that change being completely spent if the pain hadn't already done so.

Press.
