Afterfall Insanity - preorder for $1!

[AFurryReptile]

If they hit 10 million preorders, the price will stay!

(yes, I know how unlikely this is)

Looks like a fun game though.

Looks interesting.

This is simply a publicity stunt with the proceeds of said stunt going to charity. They set the "goal" at such an unrealistic level there is NO way they could succeed. Seriously? They want to generate $10,000,000 in a month from $1 pre-orders? No way in hell for a title like this. At least it's going to a good cause and not their pockets

Looks like Doom 3 with that damn flashlight.

They'll be lucky to hit 2 million. 10 million is a pipe dream.

I went for it. I like how the Paypal page they link you to is in Polish - US Paypal with Polish text. I knew there was a reason why I've been learning to speak Polish.

And, yeah, it's a publicity stunt, but the game looks good and it's only one dollar to charity.

Not sure that I'd call this a hot deal though... and it's vaguely possible that it's a scam (who tracks that the money really goes to the charity).

ummm, it's not a dollar until they hit the 10 mil preorders which they almost certainly wont do.

It is a dollar. That's what it cost me. And if they don't hit 10 million pre-orders, then it goes to charity. Since there's basically no chance that it will hit 10 million, then I lost my dollar and they'll give it to charity.

a fool and his money are soon part. Madof said he was making people money as well.

The charity line is the bait.

We'll see. My wife's cousins are in Wroclaw (the city these guys are in). I'm pretty sure they are legit.

That has to be the worst reason ever to be sure they are a legit company, LOL

Cold as ice, it's just a publicity stunt and a way to collect info for marketing. There is a 0% chance that they will get 10 million preorders.

I watched two videos and still have no idea what that game is about.

 

[andylawcc]

incremental revenue = $1
incremental cost of goods sold = $0.01

that's 99% Gross Profit margin man. apple you suck.

What happens to the price if it doesn't stay? Which it won't, so you're basically just giving them a dollar to maybe possibly give to charity. Why not just donate money to charity then and not have to worry about it going elsewhere? You could probably donate more than $1 too and still afford it.

I'll be starting the 2011 Child's Play donation matching here in about 3 weeks, you could save your $1 for that
