Imbecilic and impossibly greedy, but someone's going to be stupid enough to do it, so how can I truly fault the man?
I'll still call him a twat, though. It'd be nice to see human experiments in generosity or kindness.

Because that's the form he wants the "experiment" to take, yeah. Money isn't all is takes to test a person's curiosity.rolfwesselius said:

Also, you know who is probably watching how this shapes up with bated breath?
Yeah, right? Apparently showing genuine (non-malevolent) emotions is really hard for John Riccitiello.Evil Smurf said:that smile is creeping me outKahunaburger said:
I'm curious to know who wants to give Pete all that money. Maybe they'll become new best friends! They can take their sims on long walks on a digital beach together.
I'm glad I don't care about this guy. Really I am. I mean, if I thought I could get someone to pay that much cash for the chance to see something that to me was meaningless, I'd have a hell of an ego! I'd worry about Peter if he were my friend. Of course he will prove one thing, there are still a great many fools yet to be separated from their money. But be careful world! Peter's comin' round, and soon all them fools and all that cash will be separated.

I remember the good old days when Molyneux led a company (bullfrog) that actually made games, good games, games that I still take out and play now and again. Games like Populous, Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital.
Also, as many others has pointed out, if the parameters of this experiment is to be taken at face value then it is a giant fail. That there exists at least one person where the ratio of income/holdings vs expenditure is large enough to buy it at that price without making a noticable dent in their wallet is not exactly something that we need Molyneux to prove. It proves absolutely nothing about the power of curiousity. Also, what will he do with the money? To me it seems like an easy money-grab with minimal ammount of effort on their part disguised as an experiment.

Not if enough people are like me and probably will pass on this game because it sounds incredibly boring. I find the gimmick of only one person getting the ending curious enough to look it up on Youtube and nothing else. Beyond that, it is not worth my time.Dryk said:
It's like the ending to Fatal Beauty, a Whoopi Goldberg movie from the 80's. I had rented once and watched it right up to the beginning of the climax and then due to circumstances had to return it without seeing the ending. Over twenty years later, I still do not care how it ended. Curiosity sounds a lot like that.
I just... what. He's like the Andy Warhol of gaming. He makes something so utterly terrible and horrifically minimalistic, something a downs syndrome laden child could accomplish, and gets millions for it...
Why isn't this man in an asylum yet?
I am disgusted by this abhorrent attempt at "experiment". It is literally nothing but a scam disguised as an "experiment".
Stop falling for this garbage.

) for the most electrifying DLC ev0r!
Assume 1,000,000 people buy the iron chisel and 1 person (or group) buys the diamond chisel. The diamond chisel is effectively only 1% of that total enhanced chipping power - and even if the diamond chisel is scripted to never stop, for every one swing of the diamond chisel that blows off 100,000 bits, there are 1,000,000 people blowing off 10,000,000 bits at the exact same time.
Even if you fluctuate the numbers of who is chipping and when throughout the day, it is actually mathematically improbable that the diamond chisel increases the odds in any significant amount overall. The diamond chisel's pure existence has likely increased the participation of this event by an enormous amount virtually assuring the assumption of the item's expensive impotence.
What I wouldn't give to be Peter Molyneux's personal intern for a year...

To those people who just say "I'll just wait for the Youtube video"
Answer me this: What's the possibility that the person who does the final crack will be someone who has some kind of recording device, and at that very second will be able to know he's got it in the bag and flick it on immediately then?
About 1 in a freaking million.
Aaaanyway, on topic:
