WTF? $77,800. For that money i would buy a brand new Range Rover Evoque

[meta187]

I'd like to be the guy who buys the measly .90 pick axe moments after the diamond one has been purchased and just happens to chip it open on the first swing.

Yes. That would be cool.

I have a hard time believing that. See, we have some of, if not the, highest registration tax in the world, and a top of the range (pun intended) Evoque is roughly 170,000 USD (209,000 of your Singapore dollars). I very much doubt that your taxes are 4-5 times higher, and find it more likely that you got something backwards.

Oh, and I think people are putting too much into this game. It seems to me that it's designed to tickle your curiosity, nothing more. It's a social experiment. The high-priced DLC's only function is to make you curious, and thus the price has been set unrealistically high, to encourage discussion and conspiracy theories, while (hopefully) preventing anyone from even considering purchashing it.

[DOOM!]

I've bought a couple DLC's that were disappointing and I did not get my money back for that. And note this guy was involved with selling hair and dye packs for "DLC".

I'll pass.

[El_Diablo]

when does this crap start anyway?

has the game even been released?

its not the tax.. its the certificate of entitlement which u have to pay ontop of 10K( for driving license) and its super expansive. and its not 800K.. its actually 506000

thats why i plan on leaving this country in a near future. house is too expansive, electricity is too expansive, car is too expansive and the weather is too warm and humid

August the 22nd apparently. I will probably mess about with it chip away a few blocks but no doubt we will all find out what is in the cube anyway. It maybe simple but lets face it people play farmville!

[Lightning Strike]

Blocks, mining blocks, diamond tools - very expensive.

NOTCH will win Curiosity.

[DarrinPA]

The surprise leaked the princess is in another castle...... or cube

I wonder if a kickstarter will be set up by some hopeful group of people.

[finn4life]

I don't think i will join in on this purely on principle, i don't want to be part of some idiots experiment which will probably end up being a waste of time anyway...There is a mobile version right .

I won't be surprised if notch is the one who buys that DLC. after all he has ever donated like 1 million to some indie pack

[Chukkles]

Just becasue someone spends 50,000 on a computerised chisel doesn't automatically mean they'll win.

How pissed off would you be to buy it and not win, some dick with the cheap one gets it after you spend hours hacking away, really you just loosened it.

Ding ding ding.

This is so clearly a bet in favor of lower app prices. Anyone who buys into it thinking "f*ck that dude who bought the diamond one" is a sucker.

A million 90c purchases or 80 grand. Who's the asshole?

You do realize that the idiot is the person who brought us fable series and black and white.

Surely if someone does buy a diamond pick it's actually increasing all of o7r chances of getting to see what is inside.

Your houses, electricity and cars are expansive? How f*cking big are your cars and houses?

Also, I wonder who will buy the $77,800 item....

Yep, and i still think his idea is stupid and this is an idiot stunt, in my eyes at this point in time, he is an idiot.

the houses here are very expansive cuz of lack of land. the country land area is only 702KM( takes about only 40 mins drive to get from one side to the other side of the country) as i said a ford here is about 200K to 300K and a low class condo without swimming pools etc are about 700K while a condo is 5M and a private house is about 30 to 40M USD. the pay here isnt even that huge too, the average pay here is only about 2000 to 3000 per month. you need at least 12K per month to even get a cheap small car like honda jazz by installment

I can see what you mean at this point in time. But still you are talking about one of the games industrys most respected and longest serveing game designer. This is only the first game in a line of experiments he wishes to try. Im sure he knows what he is doing.

It must be really expensive to have expansive houses and cars on such expensive land and expensive properties.
