Because, for this money, you couldn't, I don't know, buy an android device/jailbroken iphone, and, say, a nice car?
Slight note: You weren't wrong about the whole "losing faith in humanity" thing. I have only one question that remains: why didn't you put the warning up front?

I took it out since some people might deem it inappropriate.Synthetica said:
But yeah, personally, I find it very, very disturbing that people are quick to send threats over a friggin' game. If this was over a phone call or physical letter, email, police would be involved.
I... I...
Words fail me.
What the hell is *wrong* with people?
You could pay a developer in India a quarter of that to make your own personal copy of the game. Hell, I'd do it for a couple of grand - it's half a day's work. Seriously - people are fucking insane.
I mean - there are already hundreds of thousands of phones with the thing installed, they don't even have rarity value!

It's amazing the sociopathic ranting people put out on Twitter under their own names.
Whilst I'm not usually in favor of the idea that it should be a crime to be mean to someone on the internet I can't help but think that some of these hysterical attention whores need a wake up call, in the form of a police enquiry about them making death threats.

Indeed. The anonymity is a blanket that gets abused a ton. And yeah, one of these days, these threats will become a reality and law enforcement will do an inquiry to these people.Sixcess said:
It's just sad...devs, publishers and other people -- heck, no one -- deserves death threats unless they did something very evil or bad. Pulling a game? That's the lowest form of "hurting" people.
It's monday morning and, after reading this news, I've already given up for the rest of the week!
Seriously people, your life won't end if a game goes away, you don't threatern to kill someone because a game went away, and you don't sell a phone for $80,500 cause it's got a bloody game on it!

Ugh... the stupidity on these tweets... my brain hurts...
There are thousands of time wasters on iPhone/ Android, why would anyone pay that amount of money when EA could be having that to let you chip blocks in Dungeon Keeper!

Yes but the fun thing about joke bids is that it might convince some people that it's worth more then it is. Thus someone might be dumb enough to follow through with it.weirdguy said:
Oh would you look at that. My phone is suddenly up for sale on Ebay.
At first I misread the article's title and thought someone had made a Flappy Bird parody featuring Osama bin Laden. It would have made the reaction seem slightly more plausible (though it would still be batshit insane).
What's even more idiotic about the whole thing is that you KNOW there's going to be a ton of clones to cash in on the void, so it's not like the experience is gone forever.
I wish I could say that I'm amazed by this. Sadly, the internet has proven time and again that some people have no concept of common sense, decency or perspective.
