Molyneux's Curiosity Offers $77,800 DLC

[GonzoGamer]

Nice.
Trying to show publishers that you can charge Anything.

 

[Nalgas D. Lemur]

What's inside? I hope it's a dead cat.

I like where you're heading with that reference. Swap "cat" for "Milo", and you have yourself a deal.

 

[tehweave]

I cannot "nope" enough. This not only sounds like a bad idea, it is a bad idea. So, nope.

 

[mad825]

So basically, he's re-inventing Fuck you buddy. It's not going to be so much of a fun fair competition but more of who has the best technical understanding/hacking skills.

 

[Mr Fixit]

The uh "game" sounds like the most boring thing ever, but when some idiot with more money than sense actually buys this thing, Molyneux better give that money to a charity because this isn't "a money-making exercise".

Wow, some really bad responses to this. What Moly is doin is down right amazing. Curiosity is an extremely persuasive emotion, and it can make you do stupid things. How stupid is what he's trying to figure out.

With the whole game, holy crap Peter. I... I want to go and start a proposal for research over curiosity now that he showed this awesome idea

 

[Saulkar]

I for one am truly intrigued and await the final results of the experiement.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

So...
The entire goal of "Curiosity" is to rip players off in pursuit of something that we will all see anyways because it will either be extracted from the game itself, or people will snapshot it and throw it up on the interwebs.

Since it apparently has an online component, the contents could be stored server-side where people can't datamine it (short of hacking). And if some random guy finishes the cube without screenshotting it, we'd never know.

This is still a stupid idea, though.

 

[Ruairi iliffe]

All i Can honestly say to that at the moment is

"What's in the box, Peter, What's in the box!?"

 

[Roboto]

Can't wait till they hack it and see the data files that tell what is inside. That is probably the outcome he is expecting.

 

[Harkonnen64]

If there's anything short of Half Life 3 in there I'd be pissed.

 

[Gabanuka]

Wow, that dude is freaking crazy. Bet you all £10 that he's gonna become a Supervillian at one point, maybe them he will release Black and White 3.

 

[RatRace123]

That's... kind of brilliant actually.

Highly insane, but damn brilliant.

 

[Dangit2019]

I wonder what's inside the box.

inb4 Half Life 3

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Glad to see nobody is around to rein him in anymore.

 

[Stealthygamer]

whats in the cube is a 10$ subway card

 

[Rabid Toilet]

I'm just waiting for someone to buy the diamond chisel, and then someone else manages to get the finishing blow anyway.
