At this level you're just looking for a tiny slice of the people who get eyes on it to be stupid, drunk or ironic enough to shell out, not actually try to entice anyone into thinking it's worth the money. Just a handful of sales won't make a lot of money, but will probably give a good effort:revenue return.

You only set the price that high so you can slap a 95% discount on it come sales day and get people to buy it cause it's just 2 bucks.

I wouldn't play that unless you paid me 2 dollars and then only to see if there was an actual game or if the title was literal

I mean the other possibility is money laundering. Make poo poo game as quickly as possible, buy steam cards with dirty money, buy game using steam dollars and junk accounts. You've got your money back 'clean' minus Valve's cut.

Niche genres tend to have very passionate fans which hyper-polarises everything. It's why every pseudo-Jrpg made with RPG maker gets "very positive". The only people buying them are super fans.

Like, are there any articles about the state of the indie development scene in Russia? Is it a money laundering thing or... or what?

Ice Pick is headquartered in Moscow. Ukranians were the ones behind STALKER and Metro 2033. Life is Feudal was put out by a Russian team. Also the guy who did the Kafka video game.
