The phrase references the practice of individuals offering access to their game profiles from the mobile adventure game “Sky: Children of the Light” in exchange for monetary compensation. This typically involves the transfer of login credentials, granting the buyer control over the in-game progress, cosmetic items, and other virtual assets accumulated by the original owner. For example, a player might list a profile containing rare in-game items or significant seasonal progress, specifying a price for its acquisition.
The significance of such transactions stems from the time investment required to achieve advanced stages within the game and the perceived value of limited-time or exclusive virtual goods. The appeal lies in circumventing the need for extensive gameplay or repeated in-app purchases to obtain desired items and progress. Historically, the buying and selling of digital assets in online games has been a gray area, often conflicting with the terms of service of the game developers.
