Curiosity Update Lets Players Pay to Add Cubes

I am actually curious to find out what is at the center of the damn thing. I bet whoever removes that last block wins a cash prize. That or a series of dirty pictures. Either will do.
Who the hell is giving this lunatic their money?
This is the kind of shit that inspires actual games developers to fill their games full of needless microtransactions, because it's been proven that people will pay for ANYTHING.

Oh I'm sorry, that's not correct! The answer we were looking for was "It could even be a boat!"
No but seriously, this is the perfect quote for this "idea". An army of Peter Griffins is busy wasting their cash on this, whilst everyone else is just buying actual, tangible things.
Given how well this is selling, I would not be surprised if the next motion controller was a ball of string and a stick attachment for a play with your cat simulator of some kind. I can just envision an army of real cats banding together out of boredom going after the makers in some kind of apocalyptic scenario.
Oh and the price tag for the add on to the official controller would be 79.99+ 29.99 shipping and handling.
Nintendo, I will expect your check for this idea next week.

Awesome, let's pay to add, what, 200 million cubelets to the mix. Sounds like my definition of un-fun.
I only boot up Curiosity once or twice a month these days, mostly during bouts of constipation or when lying down with a nosebleed. It's just somewhat futile. What's your highest streak combo bonus you got? Mine is 23411. It does not make me feel good, though, for you can't possibly use more than one finger when going for the combo thing. It's like picking peas from corny poop. The peas still smell of poop, so nothing's gained. Absolutely nothing.

Ah, but is that not the core component of pretty much every app/'game' that offers in-game purchases? Think bloody Smurfberries, speed ups in shitty shitty mega shitty Lord of Ultima (aka World of Waitcraft), a £99 vault of nothing in Tekken Card or pretty much anything in any crap game these days. If this horrible excuse for a business model would not work, it simply wouldn't be all over the place. Yeah, shitty moment to be human. I know.MrBaskerville said:
I think this is genius. And it's not like they're trying to trick people into paying for transient rewards. The only reason to pay is because you choose to do so. It's a pretty fascinating idea, and I'm Curious to see how that plays out.
