I saw a Spiffing Brit's video on the Banana game the other day and I just wanna know: What is the downside to leaving it idling in the background collecting bananas and selling what you can without ever buying any? That the creator gets some money? That's not much of a downside.

There used to be an Android app called Idle Daddy that would go over your Steam library and report time played for each game that could unlock collectables to farm them without actually launching the games.

Don't know if it still works, probably against the ToS and also not advisable to give out your Steam credentials.
