About this store:
Steam is the world's largest digital distribution platform for computer games and is owned/operated by Valve Corporation (the developers behind several classic video games including Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Dota 2 & more).
This game is terrible. I started paying about 20 years ago when it was a free web version. I follow ortel on social media, I just keep clicking and buying and going for the biggest golden cookie combos, heavenly upgrades, and have at least 1000 hours. It's never ending. Terrible game proceed with extreme caution.

1000 hours and 20 years of entertainment for a game that costs $1.75. Seems like a Slickdeal.
Unless you want convenient save files to the cloud (so you can play the same game cross-machine without uploading a text file) I'm not sure why you'd want to buy Steam over the browser version at https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
As far as I can tell, the only difference is the Steam version doesn't have advertisements.
Fun game. Dumb concept executed perfectly. I used to play it at work with a coworker during source compilations and meetings when the topics being discussed weren't relevant. Keep the browser open. Passively collect cookies. Check in periodically.

Or maybe he got addicted to it and it harmed his personal life? That's clearly what it seems like. His statement isn't very helpful either.
Idle games got wildly successful after cookie clicker and are showered everywhere in the insanely lucrative and predatory mobile game app store with their in app purchases. While this game does not have iAP, the iAP is just proof of the addictive nature of it. The game isn't necessarily "fun", it's just a pointless dopamine injector. It just tricks your brain into shooting you up with more and more of that sweet sweet dopamine when line go up. I mean you can make arguments attacking or defending idle games and say "X games are pointless dopamine injectors too" and that can be fair. Point is that these are wildly addicting in the bad way for a good portion of the population. There's a reason these mechanics are built into so many f2p mobile games.

Not sure if this has anything over the free browser game though.

edit: Also cookie clicker came out in 2013.
Damn right it fits!
