Molyneux's Curiosity Offers $77,800 DLC

[Chairman Miaow]

So the gameplay is basically the same as Diablo?

"This is not a money-making exercise; it is a test about the psychology of monetization,"

Mhm, right.

 

[ElPatron]

You know why this is a stupid idea?

Because he already said that he's only trying to provoke people to buy it. It's not any social experiment if the buyer is a rich dude doing just for kicks and not actual curiosity.

It would have worked better if he didn't say exactly what he wanted to find.

Also:

I wonder what's inside the box.

inb4 Half Life 3

 

[imnot]

Say what you want about him, But I frikken love Molyneux he's so, brilliant.

 

[Aerosteam]

I have a feeling it will be bought, by someone either insane or rich. But a high chance of both as well.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

You know, it's so crazy...it just. Might. Work.

 

[Akytalusia]

either all this is false hype and PR and it'll end up being some kinda reprimand to all the hackers who choose to submit to their curiosity and open it illegitimately,
or this guy is just a clueless artist who doesn't understand how tech in the new age works.

 

[esperandote]

Everything is inside the box until someone opens it.

 

[Amaror]

Spoiler: whatever is inside this cube isn't worth 70K.

Spoiler: Whatever is inside this cube will be on youtube for free within an hour max.

 

[Rednog]

The problem is that there won't be anything remotely worth it in the box to blow 77k on. Also who in the blue hell even wants to bother with this, where is the fun just sitting there and pressing a single button to pick away at something that no one knows how many presses it will take to open? Hell I bet people will either data mine the contents, or a group will just unleash a massive wave of scripts/bots and whittle the thing down in a day or two.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

I bet goatse is inside

 

[him over there]

That would be a great experiment if not for the fact that you explained exactly how it works and why people would buy that Peter. Should have kept it hush hush.

 

[ischmalud]

sorry but hes gona from "out there" to "loopy" and now hes just "balls to the walls meshuggah".......

 

[Gamegodtre]

you know i actually know whats in the box a picture of a even smaller cube that you have to "Fracture" away at by yourself and in that is the prize the kinect Milo game demo.

 

[Screamarie]

Okay so...pay me 77 THOUSAND dollars for a CHANCE to see what the big prize is....That makes no sense. That's like paying 77 grand for a lotto ticket that's only worth 30 grand IF you win.

Well your example makes no sense but the principle does, more money = better chances.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

An interesting idea, although it would suck if a guy drops that amount of money, hit the cube once, and another player with the basic one to hit it once and get the sweet inside prize.

 

[nasteypenguin]

Maybe he's not going to sell the diamond chisel at all, but announce it has sold and then see how many people still buy the cheap chisels after they know their chances are even smaller. It is an experiment after all.
