This is all pointless cause Morgan Freeman will open it and wont tell you cause it's a head of a loved one.

This is seriously dumb. If your game has 0.000001 percent gameplay call it "an experiment", how brilliant. Biggest DLC cash-in ever, more than anything else.
My new game, circle will feature a circle you can stare at for money. If you watch long enough, something may or may not happen.

This is brilliant, really. Maybe no one will buy the diamond pick, but it's part of the experiment. I sure want to see how this will unfold.

Or Gordon Freeman, who wouldn't tell you because it would require speaking. >.>

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.


In other news, glad to know he hasn't changed a bit. Speaks a whole bunch of shit to hype up sales and get people paying, though can't honestly deliver on it.
You're missing the point. The goal of this is not to make money. It's to mess with people for his own amusement, WHILE they give money to him for it.

edit: also, the great thing about this is that explaining the situation and parameters in its entirety hasn't actually ruined the experiment at all, because what you really want has not actually been revealed to begin with, and the madness grows

I know what's inside the box!!!

All of Molyneux promises. It's like the box of pandora. You should never open it.

Though again it's fun to see him back to his old insane ways. Remember this was the man that invented games where you play God. You need some kind of brilliance to even attempt that.

people can call it stupid all they want.....I will in no way attempt to change anyones mind...but i for one intend to participate in this game/experiment of his and maybe even buy an iron pick axe or two. I know that realistically i wont be the last one to chip away at the final chunk of the cube but I'll help the rest of the world crack it and wait for the reveal if it is in fact revealed by the lucky fellow

I know I won't be chipping in to find out!
I know the feeling it would put such an enormous crack in my wallet, it might well fracture into shards of it's former glory


also, has anyone thought that inside might well be a prize worth the cost of the diamond pick and it's just a lottery tilted in favor of the purchaser of the dlc ?

that would certainly explain a number of the factors in the game
which would also explain the creator's insistence that it is not indeed a moneymaking scheme
or perhaps it's a tiny statue of buddha, who knows 'shrug'

Same here, should be interesting.

Honestly I reckon this is part of his experiment, see how much of a shitstorm the announcement kicks up.

Interesting premise, but boring game. I don't want to mine obsidian for hours.

I for one am just glad peter's sticking to "experiments" for the moment. Maybe the results will be conducive towards making a good game.

*snicker*. Yeah, I couldn't keep a straight face as I typed that.

This guy needs to be president of Earth, give him something!

I seriously do think someone will get that diamond pick axe, too.

I'm running a similar experiment. I know a secret. I will tell this secret, in all my life, to only one person. Be the first to pay me $50,000 USD and you can be that person!


No refunds. Payment must be in advance and to my satisfaction (no checks, no alternate interpretations of "USD", etc...). For peter molyneux, the price is double. Just think peter, how much more you could learn if in addition to running your experiment, you participate in mine! Come on Peter!
