Peter Molyneux's Curiosity Finally Chipped Away

That's pretty awesome of Molyneaux. More stunts like this, and people might come out in droves to play his other creations for the hope of cool rewards like this. Wonder how much that cut will actually be.
I can imagine someone playing through that shitty Colonial Marines game with 100% completion, then having Randy Pitchford come on screen with a pre-recorded message saying "Dude, even I couldn't tolerate this crap. Here's a cut from every copy sold of Borderlands 2"

So it turns out god is Scottish, I guess that explains the violence.
I don't really see this as life changing though. Sure it's pretty cool being able to decide the rules of the game, getting some cash out of it and being worshipped by digital religionists. But it's not really life changing unless a cult springs up and sacrifices this guy to unleash his divine spirit in to the cosmos.
And I was sure there would be a dead cat in there :/

Pretty sure the reward was for whoever chipped away the last cube, not whoever chipped away the most. While it's unlikely that he could have shown up at the last few layers, chipped away a couple cubes, and won it just like that, I imagine it's a possibility.PoolCleaningRobot said:
All the happiness is now being felt. Seriously.bafrali said:
I had no interest in the curiosity thing. Well, I wanted to know what was in the cube, but I sorta forgot about it. If I wanted to chip away endlessly at a probably fruitless task, I would keep working for my Sociology degree.
Well it could be depending on what happens further down the road.Notsomuch said:
Peter Molyneuxs you cheeky Wonka bastard.
That's what I was thinking, he'll be getting paid for doing next to nothing, just gaming really. Not to mention if he does like the job it's a great first step into the industry in that sort of role, so life changing is an appropriate description. I hope he takes advantage of the opportunity he has.Jandau said:
Honestly as someone who's mildly interested in godus when it finally appears for computers this is a pretty cool prize, it'll be interesting to see how he uses this power and yeah it was also smart because now the game will get some free press and generate some interest so not too bad.
I agree.amaranth_dru said:
People are being far too hard on this.
Then again, what can you expect from the chorus of cynical internet nerds.
Rather interesting in how the experiment will continue in a way.
Will the winner be swayed by the profit incentive to behave, and do things that benefit the game as a whole?
Or will absolute power corrupt absolutely once again, proving that even greed cannot overcome the compulsive desire to wield strength over others?
Really, this is pretty darn cool. Bravo Peter.
(Now make another Fable....)
gotta say, this is actually interesting and pretty smart. Then again if molyneax was just like "ITS NOTHING! AND THAT TEACHES YOU SOMETHING VERY VALUABLE ABOUT LIFE" I'm pretty sure some kind of PR shitstorm would ensue.
