If they don't reach their quota they plan to donate all of the pre-order money to charity.

Pretty schtick-y, but a damn good idea.

A. They make their numbers make make $9m on preorders alone, probably a damn sight more than any indie studio would expect to see. Add to that, having 10m+ preorders, I'd imagine, would encourage any publisher or future investor.
B. They don't make their numbers and still look like the good guys in the media and, since the game will no longer cost a dollar, they didn't really lose a damn thing, did they?
C. Ten million preorders, lol.

Couple of things with this (and most other games) that rub me the wrong way.

- The old idea of paying for something whose true value you have no way to tell (same thing with books and games and movies for the longest of time)

- The relatively new idea of pre-ordering, as in, paying money now for something that they might decide you're only going to get in 10 years (and you still have no idea if it's worth your time/money)

However, this once, sounds like a decent deal because

a) Even though, as a westerner, every single dollar/euro has taken added importance, it's still cheap/a good deal

b) The game does look good

c) Although I question their concept of indie (I mean, look at that office... Indie, you say? Serious?), at least you're supporting the studio/a charity directly, instead of lining the pockets of the EAs and the Ubisofts of the gaming world.

i think he should spend a good portion of the pre-order monies on engrish classes. i don't trust the polack.

Just pre-ordered. And for us filthy rich Europeans the total costs paying with a credit card were only 0,83 â‚¬ or eighty-three cents. Quite a bargain, I'd say. If nothing comes out of it, then at least I've donated some for Amnesty International...

What's with bots pushing this game?

Post by **King of Creation** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 1:15 am

They're all from a Polish Counterstrike forum according to a quick google search.

For some reason (as in, no one mentions this in the video) I didn't realise that if they don't meet their 10M mark, you'll have to pay an additional 33 bucks. Not so good a deal now.

A preview for those that care.

Ironically enough, it was supposed to be an isometric RPG at the start (for which I'd have gladly paid 34$). *Le sigh*

Stop it with that reddit bullshit, son. Sigh like a regular person.

The guy in the video was pretty clear that you pay full price minus the one dollar if they don't hit the 10 million mark.

Wow! I'm pretty sure, that if we pay 1$ only - we can get a very nice game. Otherwise for sure all money go for charity organization - it's too very helpful for them ^^
