Steam Page Goes Live","summary":"Independent Japanese developer Miyabi opened the Steam store page for 'You're a Scalper, Right?' on May 29, 2026. The release date and price remain unannounced. The game is a management simulation with adventure elements where players run a card shop and must identify scalpers among their customers. Players gather intelligence through an in-game video site called WowTube, purchase stock from wholesalers on days off, and sell cards on business days. Suspicious customers can be questioned based on their purchase quantities, conversation content, and market conditions. Once identified, players may choose to expel a scalper to protect the store's reputation or continue the sale for profit. Each decision affects the store's standing and branches the story's ending. This is Miyabi's second game, following an App Store release two months after they began learning Unity in May 2025. The developer created the pixel art, sound, and programming alone.","whyItMatters":"The game directly gamifies a real-world retail dilemma-whether to prioritize short-term revenue or long-term trust-by making scalper identification a core mechanic rather than a punishment system.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe developer, who goes by Miyabi, began learning Unity in May 2025 and released a game on the App Store two months later. This is their second project and their first full-scale simulation game. Miyabi created the pixel art, sound, and programming alone.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA post on X (formerly Twitter) on May 2, 2026, outlining the game concept received 45,000 impressions. The developer wrote: \"I'm developing a game called 'You're a Scalper, Right?' alone. It's a new kind of management simulation game where you confront and expose scalpers. I'm doing everything from graphics to sound to programming by myself! I'd appreciate your support!\"\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game's information-gathering system involves an in-game video site called WowTube. Videos on the site cover card market trends, popular packs, notable cards, and incidents involving scalpers and store troubles. Players check these to decide what stock to purchase and what questions to ask suspicious customers.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn days off, players visit wholesalers within a limited time. If a regular wholesaler has no stock, players can negotiate with unfamiliar wholesalers. Whether a deal is struck depends on the store's reputation, so a wholesaler that initially refuses may later agree if the store's reputation improves through daily operations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen questioning suspicious customers, players can ask \"What are you buying it for?\", \"Which cards are you collecting?\", and \"Why do you need that many?\" to find contradictions in answers. Some customers may have circumstances that force them into scalping, adding moral complexity to the player's decision.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Miyabi's 'You're a Scalper, Right?' makes the moral weight of identifying scalpers a core mechanic, not a binary choice. Players can accept scalpers for profit, which shifts the tension from detection to complicity.","twitterPost":"Miyabi's scalper sim makes detection the easy part. The hard choice is whether profit justifies letting them stay.","threadsPost":"Miyabi's 'You're a Scalper, Right?' pushes past the usual shop management loop. The detection minigame is straightforward: question customers, spot contradictions. The real mechanic is the decision after. Kick a scalper out and lose revenue. Let them stay and risk your store's reputation. The game doesn't judge either path, but the store's future changes based on which tradeoff you tolerate.","newsletterBlurb":"Independent developer Miyabi opened the Steam page for 'You're a Scalper, Right?', a card shop management sim where players identify and decide how to handle scalpers.
