Site is getting hammered

Lavpa Jasai · (10-13-2009, 02:39 PM)

TOTALLY worth the $15 I paid for it on WiiWare.

Tempted to buy it again for PC.

SmokyDave · (10-13-2009, 02:42 PM)

Yay, the 'Radiohead' model!

Boo, I already bought it.

Milk Lizard · (10-13-2009, 02:44 PM)

Cool. Will finally give it a try. I like this new trend, also bought championship manager for 1 pound.

Dani · (10-13-2009, 02:52 PM)

Well worth the penny I just paid.

Was that in £ or $s?

I think I just got fucked over by Paypal's ridiculous 1:1 conversion rate (1p shoud never equal 1 cent - bastards!).

$, and yeah, noticed the exchange rate of £1=$1, which sorts fucks over us non-Americans.

Then again, I just picked up this game for 1p, I can't complain of getting fucked over.

i just bought the game for 0.80 cents, i feel kinda guilty for buying so cheap but it's all the money i had on my paypal accounts D:

Why feel guilty? The developer is getting all of that money! Plus they're happy you're playing their game.

Some money is better than no money, especially when a product loses its spotlight.

KanZolo · (10-13-2009, 03:28 PM)

I'm unemployed and broke as hell so I donated $2.50. Half off the cheapest I've ever seen it.

shintoki · (10-13-2009, 03:29 PM)

I still haven't received my code, I only had a 1.50 on my Paypal account too =[

FoxSpirit · (10-13-2009, 03:33 PM)

Thes site is being obliterated, no getting anywhere atm

poweld · (10-13-2009, 03:34 PM)

When things smooth out with the site, I'm definitely going to toss 'em a $5 spot to have a copy for my Mac, too!

Love this model.

BigNastyCurve · (10-13-2009, 03:34 PM)

Quite intriguing. I'll buy it on principle.

have you checked your spam folder? just a thought

OMG Aero · (10-13-2009, 03:37 PM)

I already bought this game on Steam a while ago so I might pay 1p to have a Steam-free version of it.

CTLance · (10-13-2009, 03:40 PM)

I paid full price back in the day, and you people disgust me.

On a serious note: I might buy a copy for my family...

Diablohead · (10-13-2009, 03:41 PM)

Am I bad for only paying £0.01 ? :(

-PXG- · (10-13-2009, 03:42 PM)

This is fucking hilarious

VAIL · (10-13-2009, 03:44 PM)

Bought it day 1 for WiiWare, tossed em a couple of bucks to have the linux version for my netbook

stuminus3 · (10-13-2009, 03:44 PM)

You cheap bastards, WoG is the best game ever made.

Hawkian · (10-13-2009, 03:45 PM)

Gave em a buck, would NEVER have purchased/downloaded/looked in the general direction of this game otherwise. Amazing idea, hope more adopt it!

No chance of getting the Steam achievements, eh? ;)

golduck342 · (10-13-2009, 03:45 PM)

bought this game on wii and steam. tempted to buy a linux and mac copy, as well as a drm free pc copy.

FoxSpirit · 03:51 PM

$3.50

Well, for a game I had no interest after playing the demo that should be fair enough.

Darklord · (10-13-2009, 03:49 PM)

It's an indie game, you should at least pay 50% or more of the full price. Don't be a cheap prick, this isn't Activision it's a small group who could use the money. I was happy paying full price for this back when it first came out.

ShockingAlberto · (10-13-2009, 03:49 PM)

Well worth $50.

It was the best game of last year.

-PXG- · (10-13-2009, 03:51 PM)

I already have it on the Wii and my PC. No need for me to get it.

CTLance · (10-13-2009, 03:52 PM)

Can't you guys at least pay a bit more than a single cent? I believe the paypal fees will actually make them lose money if you're below 50 cents.

And they deserve to earn money. It's an awesome game.

poppabk · (10-13-2009, 03:52 PM)

I have it on Wii already but I'll give them a couple of bucks for the PC version. If the site will let me :-(.

birdchili · (10-13-2009, 03:53 PM)

was playing this again on the weekend (going for OCD, of course - i've "finished" it technically). pleasantly surprised that i'm still figuring stuff out - the OCD goals require you to do some stuff that you never need to do during the course of the normal game.

worth the points i spent on it until i realize that not having physical media is going to someday prevent me from easily playing it again.

Brazil · (10-13-2009, 03:53 PM)

Already bought it on two Wii consoles and on my Mac. Just bought it again for $10 and will surely buy the iPhone version.

Don't really agree with this philosophy... I'd have given them $0 if not for the ability to pay whatever I wanted, and given that ability I gave $1 instead of nothing. I played the demo and decided against buying it. It's very well-made and has a lot of personality, but didn't really appeal to me. That said, I do want to reenforce this approach to offering software, and couldn't pass up the chance to give it another shot for next to free.

stuminus3 · (10-13-2009, 04:03 PM)

EDIT: n/m can't be bothered.

yeoz · (10-13-2009, 04:03 PM)

Guys, please don't pay just 1 cent for it. They get charged 30 cents for the transaction fee at a minimum for paypal, so you're costing them money, I think. Please pay a fair value for the game!

It ends Oct 19th. It's a low cost marketing program designed to reignite interest in the game through word of mouth. They're hoping the window of interest will generate some extra revenue up to and hopefully beyond the deadline through word of mouth.

Already succeeded, told multiple people. They could probably kill a server because of this :P

RbBrdMan · (10-13-2009, 04:13 PM)

I've already paid for it twice. Good idea for a promotion though.

opticalmace · (10-13-2009, 04:16 PM)

Maybe a dumb question, but can I activate it on Steam this way?

bdouble · (10-13-2009, 04:17 PM)

Really wanted this on my MBP for a while now. 3 bucks is fair for second copy.

haowan · (10-13-2009, 04:18 PM)

Good for them.

DMPrince · 04:22 PM

i already bought it off D2D.

i was kind. paid $4.99 for it <3

rezuth · (10-13-2009, 04:21 PM)

Think I'll buy it for 8 bucks, already have it on PC and Wii but I need it for Mac.

Weenerz · (10-13-2009, 04:38 PM)

Site is getting hammered, I hope my order goes through.

Dementia · 04:46 PM

Just paid 50 cents for it... I feel like such a cheapskate. Though it is my second copy.

Now I'm having trouble receiving that 2Dboy email with the instructions. Perhaps it's a sign.

edit: "cannot connect to db" FUCK YOUUU

Kawaii · (10-13-2009, 04:50 PM)

Allready bought it when it was on sale on steam for 7,50 i think

RuneFactoryFanboy · (10-13-2009, 04:52 PM)

I just paid/donated $5 for it, what happens now?

There is a "Return to 2D Boy, LLC" button on my donation confirmation screen but it just hangs. Is that the link that would normally take me to the download screen?

MattNY · (10-13-2009, 04:52 PM)

As soon as I can, I will be tossing them 5 bucks for it.

Should email you the download link. If it doesn't, you can use [this] to request another email with the link.
