10 Video Games That Punished You For Buying Them

5. Rock Simulator

The Day Before

Here's a game so utterly pointless it was even widely accused of being a secret crypto miner upon release. 

But alas, Rock Simulator is precisely what it says on the tin - a game where you get to see what it feels like to be a rock across a series of picturesque locations and... that's about it.

"Progression" is achieved by just sitting there and soaking in the sights. Sit there long enough and you'll level up, which will earn you currency to buy in-game skins. 

That's all the gameplay boils down to in Rock Simulator, because of course you're a rock, so why would you be able to move?

Even accepting that the game can be bought for a pittance, all you're doing is giving money to an anti-game that laughs at the very notion of exchanging your hard-earned dough for an actual gaming experience.

And if you're compulsively achievement-obsessed enough to reach level 5000 regardless of how nothing the game is, then God help you.
