'Banana' Clicker Game Nears Top of Steam Charts with Massive Player Surge

The simple game where players click a banana is rapidly climbing the ranks, driven by both genuine interest and bot activity.

'Banana' has reached over 850,000 concurrent players, making it the second most played game on Steam.
The game is on the verge of surpassing 'Baldur's Gate 3' in the top 10 most-played games of all time on Steam.
Players can earn and trade banana skins, contributing to the game's popularity and economic activity.
A significant portion of the game's player base is automated bots, raising questions about Steam's policies.
The developer is in discussions with Valve about addressing the bot issue, but no actions have been taken yet.
