Peter Molyneux?? FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLAR DLC!!!!!! WHAT?

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"][QUOTE="KingsMessenger"]

Being the person that opens it doesn't mean anything. It is not a race to be the person that opens it. Everyone playing the experiment is working together. When it is opened, everyone wins.

But THAT is the beauty of being the one who opens it.

The whole thing is an experiment to see how fast word can spread of what's in it. If you're the only one who knows, you can not tell anyone and RUIN THE WHOLE THING, and that would be hilarious.

I actually like the sound of this, you don't have to buy it, but if you do he'd like to know precisely why. He's going to get money out of it anyways, so why not?

MS and Peter Molyneux they are for laughs....50.000$ for a DLC...:lol:

AtariKidX

lol you are a moron. I mean a level of stupidity that is rarely seen...not only is molyneux not employed at lionhead studios, nor microsof. Microsoft has nothing to do with this game...

This is an experiment if you don't know how a real experiment works.No logical human being would pay $50000 for DLC in a game.He wants to see if people will work together to get the prize.

Good god...

Come to think of it, i'd rather poop than buy this dlcBad-School-Girl

Pooping can be an enjoyable activity.

This is just like that one thousand dollars app on the iPhone that people actually bought just to look at a screen.

Sweet. I'll take eight.

psymon100

There is only one, so you won't be taking eight :P

The man has a way with words. Doesn't sound so bad when he puts it like that, and the only chance of someone getting it is if they are rich, and want to be "that guy".

I say let him be, he has been off the rocker for awhile now, and I'm sure he knows that 50k "investment" doesn't have a chance of selling.

Poor Molyneux, after all the hardships and the raping of his franchise Micro$oft has put him trough...this is how he ends up. Completely mental...

Interesting,to say in the least.

DrTrafalgarLaw

LOL this sounds like an idea taken from his parody Twitter blog ...

It's kind of interesting, actually.

This reminds me of a mmorpg where I put up a completely useless item on the auction house for 90k gold (it's actually worth 10 gold...) just for fun. Someone bought it after like 2 hours...

I bet at least one or a few will buy this dlc!

ok but how does his experiment work??

can you only hit the cube ones a day, or can you go all Minecraft on it?

I don't think he is crazy because he has already made people speculate about whats inside the box. Even if they are ridiculing it, they are still a little queries to see what the whole thing is about :)

At last, Fable w4 will be a 10/10 game

THe lion head team ran off jo join monologue on his PC focused company, who exactly is making fable 4 now?

Wow and I thought EA's NFS online 100 dollar car DLC was bad. Molneux is nothing but a idiot M$ really fvcked up his head.

Guess Peter finally gave up on making games. Can't say I'm sad.WithoutGraceXII

This is clearly the kind of sh!t I would expect from Peter M.

Cool.

Can you please change you sig, it makes you look like a creep and it disturbs me.

Peter Moluneux is a bad designer, who cares what he thinks?

"Curiosity is set in a virtual room that contains a single black cube. As you tap away at it it fractures. Other fractures caused by other players can also be seen. After a large number of taps the cube opens, revealing its innards. Only the player who performs the final tap gets to see what's inside.

22 Cans will then record and study how news of what's inside spreads across social media in an attempt to explore the psychology of social media users."

I don't know about you guys, but sitting there tapping A over and over and over and over to chip away at a black cube, only to have all my tedium and boredom rewarded solely to another player does not sound fun in the least. I can appreciate the experiment, but the "game" itself sounds ludicrous. Why in the hell would ANYONE spend their time, much less their money, on something like this? Nothing in that virtual box is going to be worth $50k, and even if spent, will not gaurantee it will strike the last blow.

Because it is not a game, it is an experiment.

And people might do it out of curiosity, which curiously is the name of the experiment.

Day one buy.

This thread is a great example of what Peter is experimenting with.

There are those that actually read the article, understood what other posters wrote, etc.

And then there are those who didn't do anything except read the title thread and miss everything else.

Banging my head continuously against a wall is also an experiment, one I think I'd be more likely to do than this. At least I'd get some pay-off for my work. And you know once the cube is cracked, its contents are going to be entirely ambiguous.

I see the point of this thing, SUD123456 is on the money. It is exactly that, an experiment. If nobody ever taps away at it, or people give up before the # of taps needed is reached - then the experiment failed, and to the researchers that is an acceptable outcome, because they can learn something from it.

But what is more likely to happen is that the secret is revealed to one person. Who will they tell? How will they tell them? What is the secret? And as for the audience well, plenty of people will be tapping away, able to see the taps of other players, they too might have questions. Who got it? Was it one of the super wealthy guys with their superior pick? How can I find out what the secret was?
